Take a choice. I know the text is a little difficult to read on the web but it prints fine. Beat me to death guys and gals!



Card A

Card B

The text is a little hard to read. I'm not a big fan when of car pics when the wheels seem over exposed and too bright. Maybe just get a pick of the side of a car for the bg not including the wheels or anything else

Also i wouldn't rotate the colors as much, maybe just in the logo Font.
 
IMO find another font to use... The layout/font size is confusing and nothing really stands out except for the bus. name...make the bus name/phone number stand out... Use a reflection that is a solid background rather than multiples as it chops the overall reflection up..making it hard to read....
 
If you use that pic, I'd dress the tire and wheel well...



Also, I think I'd have a better reflection (i.e. not showing you taking the picture and no bald grass spots).



Sorry to be critical, but I think that's what you were looking for.
 
IMO it's way too busy. Remove the "By appointment only", move the "mobile deatiling..." up closer to the name of the business, and use one font colour, or use a simpler background image. Also, if you've only got one phone number listed on the card, you don't need to label it "cell phone". The most effective cards are the most simple... the most plain.



:)
 
Agree with Duckman. Perhaps a photo of the hood or side angle with no reflections of the camera man. Less busy is the name of the game. Good luck.
 
If you are going to use a pic to completely cover the front of the bus. card then you need to change the opacity of the background image and sort of fade it out a little. It'll make the text much easier to read and it won't look like a photograph with words on it. Also, consider using one color for the text. Remember, you are trying to sell your business, not be patriotic with red white and blue that is hard to read.
 
Yes, and I didn't like what I was seeing. Custom is where I'm going. I have taken some the the suggestions here and made some changes too. Many seem to be hung up on the print not being readable but my grandmother is 93 and she can read it just fine.



I have cut the text down to 2 colors and moved some things around. I have decided that the picture will remain but now have to decide which name. The polls overall are leaning towards "Every Little Detail" and that's probably where it will stand.
 
Chris, when you register with the county, make sure that DBA is available. I would hate to have made the cards up and find out the name isnt available!
 
Just wanted to thank you all for taking part in the poll and for all of your suggestions! I have made some changes from some of the suggestions and will submit it to the printer on Monday. By the way, this proof has gotten me one job and a potential. The printer is the first and a waiter the second. He saw the card on our dinner table last night and took it and said he would call me to have his car detailed. I'm sticking with the nice shiny car picture on this card. If it turns out to not be appealing, I'll ditch it on the next printing. For that matter, the picture will be different every time!
