Hello everyone! After getting quotes for wells over 200 bucks for 1000 cards I decided I will get them online from overnightprints.com . I havnt bought them yet, as I thought you guys, and gals (you know who you are!) could help with the design.

Thanks for the help!

Greg I like the look. The only thing I would change would be the size or color of the buisness name. The logo gets my attention which is good but I looked past the buisness name. Maybe if the letters were a little bigger or a diffrent color the buisness name would stand out more.
 
I can't read the words "Pinnacle Detailing" on the artwork due to "old eyes". The letters should be taller.

I agree a bit larger and a different color as the logo makes it harder to see the lettering.
 
Same observation as everybody else. I saw the logo didn't even know there was writing there untill I looked closer. Maybe it is because the picture is small.
 
I like the nice clean look to it, but as the others said, you need to make the name stand out more.

You could add your business name above car care perfectionists like this..I just upgraded my computer so I'm limited on fonts but you get the idea:

Why do you need your company name mentioned twice on one side of the business card?

Leave the name in your logo and slightly increase the font so it is more readable. That's the whole point of a company logo - to advertise your business name written wise and illustrative wise.

Use the space above "car care perfectionists" to include a line that indicates what your business does. Pinnacle Detailing may be vague for many people.

Use what you have on your home page and say something like "Automotive Appearance Enhancement." (or think of something catchy). Then follow underneath with "car care perfectionists"

Also, I would stick with the font you use on your website so it matches your business card. Or use the font from your business card to match your website (whichever you want). And obviously use your new logo on your website.

Also, update your home page. Its Spring time!

You are getting some good advise in regards to the size of text, font, etc. I know you will be getting some professional cards done, but one thing you might try is making your own first, just to get a feel for how they look before deciding on getting a large order from the printer. It will not cost much and if you have a decent ink jet printer, you just might like it a lot. Plus, you can play around with font and the location of info.

I have MS Word template that I can send you. My email is jlevitan@holycross.edu The cards look like the picture below. I know it is not a business, but it really works quite well. I tried coping your card from this post into the template, but the logo keeps getting distorted. You should be able to do it fine on your local computer with the actual logo.

For a business card, I print them on Avery (#5371) White Business Card stock. You can get these at any office supply store. These sheets of business cards have perforations so you can just tear them apart. You get 10 business cards per sheet. You can print them off on your ink jet or laser printer. All you will have to do is take the document and change my info for yours (keep the your info in the same location as mine), save the document, and print them out, one page at a time. By the way, when you go to print the cards, MS Word will say something about the "margins being wrong and do you want to continue to print". Just let it print the way it is setup and the cards will come out just fine.

Just my 2 cents worth of an opinion.
