Business Card Critique

[ViperCS]

I am in the process of designing new business cards. I have recently stopped offering residential support and my old cards listed services geared toward residential support.

I am looking for critique on the design and the services I have listed on the card. I currently offer just about any service you can think of, but I'm not sure what is most important to have on the card. I am going for more of a MSP business model.

Any input is greatly appreciated!

*The colors will not be as bright as they are here.

I really like it. Colors are nice and the formatting is great. Your logo is very creative as well.

Very nice job on the card design. I'm not a fan of personal email addresses on a business card. Although you might be a one man company you shouldn't convey that image to potential business clients. They might consider you're too small or don't have the staff to support their needs. I've never been a one man shop even back when I was a one man shop. I had subcontractors I could call on, an answering service to filter calls and so on. I landed quite a few school contracts back in those early days I would have never landed as a one man operation. Just a suggestion but again, very nice and professional layout.

Every business car I get has a personal email address on it as that is who is giving the card, generic for websites and stuff like that, I bin any business card with a generic email as other might see an email when it is intended for someone specific.

I like the colours, have you tried your QR code on when printed life size? I have one years ago and was never used, although after printing I found that every phone except iPhones could scan it.

I think you got them all. Proper wording that stands out, at least to me it does.

I have not tested the QR code thanks for suggesting that! I am working with a local printer so I can test the proof they give me.

Agreed, great looking layout and colors. I'm not sure I've formed an opinion on whether one should have their email name on the card or not. My latest bunch of cards do not actually have my name and the email is service@. And that actually seems to workout ok. One of the things I did was leave the back side white with some lines to encourage writing. Some have written my name along with a couple of words to jog their memory.
