The design looks fine it's just the High Tech Rex linking that doesn't work for me anyways. The fact it's High Tech Rex maybe the T right arm should link with the ECH and be the same colour so maybe reverse the colours of TECH and REX and link as I said. On the reverse I would put more of your services, it's what I did. A couple of businesses took my cards in a stand therefore I wouldn't be handing them out and detailing my services verbally. That way it gives a bit more info about services you provide in a clear way.
What is Tech Support? Repairs, phone support only? Ideal for the reverse of the card.

No offense, but these threads (what is it now, number Fourteen?) about your advertising, are a bit like a bad Monty Python sketch.
You seem to have a very high regard for your own opinion, and conversely hold little value for the opinions and ideas generously voiced here, which you ask for, repeatedly and then ignore. Repeatedly.
Conventionally, on this subject, people post, listen, revise publish.
You seem to, post & ignore, post & ignore.... ad infinitum.
Kinda like something's broken in the mechanism somewhere (I dont think its the comments you're receiving, which have been abundantly informative) so that doesnt leave much of a question remaining.
Its a bit beyond me why people continue to respond. I reckon those that do (for whatever reason - as I said, its beyond me), should start charging you though.
The job was properly completed by the community weeks ago, but the lack of implementation at the user-end just keeps making for more unnecessary work. Double-time seems a fair rate given the unprecedented time-and-work-excess involved.
If you would kindly add your paypal email so that the invoices for payment can be sent directly to you....

Mr. Praline: I wish to make a complaint about this Logo!
Owner: What seems to be the problem?
Mr. Praline: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it!
Owner: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.
Mr. Praline: Look, matey, I know a dead Logo when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.
Owner: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable logo, the T-Rex, idn'it, ay? Beautiful fangs!
Mr. Praline: The fangs don't enter into it. It's stone dead.
Owner: Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting!
Mr. Praline: All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up! (shouting at the Logo) 'Ello, Mister T-Rex! I've got a lovely fresh fish for you if you
show...
(owner bumps the Logo)
Owner: There, he moved!
Mr. Praline: No, he didn't, that was you bumped it!
Owner: I never!!
Mr. Praline: Yes, you did!
Owner: I never, never did anything...
Mr. Praline: (yelling and hitting the Logo repeatedly) 'ELLO REXY!!!!! Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call!
(Takes Logo out of the cage and thumps it on the counter. Throws it up in the air and watches it plummet to the floor.)
Mr. Praline: Now that's what I call a dead Logo.
Owner: No, no.....No, 'e's stunned! Hang on I will post another thread...

huh?
What in the world are you talking about? I've listenned to just about every last critique given to me on this page lol and have used most if not all of the advice given here. In fact the look of my logo, business card, and site are all a product of all the advice i've gathered from here. I'm just very picky and sometimes indecesive lol; hence why i post here so frequently lol. I dont understand why my posts bother you so much. I don't feel that I've broken any rules... you just need to relax.

Im pretty relaxed actually. I just think that (14 threads?) on your own advertising copy is kinda telling that there's something wrong with the implementation of the feedback thats been provided to you.

The point of feedback is to influence the final decision of whoever your lending your feedback to. Not to dictate or pave their course of action. In fact the whole point is to point the person posting in the right direction. If I don't change EVERY LAST thing that is recommended it doesn't mean that I'm ignoring advice. Just means that i decided against certain changes. Apparently your idea of feedback is "I give you advice and you forget whatever you had in mind in exchange for my opinion." I'm not going to argue semantics with you.. in fact i'm not going to argue with you at all. By the way your little short story was cute.. i chuckled

By no means is it required to incorporate EVERYTHING that's been said to you in feedback, but we really don't need to see (what seems to be) every single revision. I remember when I did a logo feedback thread I pretty much had things already worked out, but presented three similar options to the community for tweaks.
That being said, I'm not sure if the point you're trying to get across with this card is "I fix computers" or "I dabble in just about everything." I was expecting to see things like "painter", "plumber", and "landscaper" added to the list too. I mean, there is A LOT involved in just technical support alone to not even need all of the other areas on there. I'm not sure what percentage of revenue you expect to come from each area of work that you do, but I would say if a substantial percentage doesn't come from a particular area, drop it from the marketing materials. It really makes you look like a generalist, and like a general doctor you won't make nearly as much as a specialist would. It reminds me of when you'd see a sitcom family snowed in at the airport and the only one working handles the airline ticketing, hotel reservations, and runs the local taxi service.
Hope this helps!
On the flip side, some ambiguity on the card can generate more business.
Would you rather someone called you to ask if you performed a specific service, or just not call because it appeared you didn't?
This area of marketing needs to be done by the OP, because its extremely dependent on his demography, and what type of customers he is trying to attract.
Also, I would drop the title of CEO off the card. I know you want to floss, everyone does, and there's nothing wrong with that, call it human nature.
But consider the image it portrays to a wealthy forty five year old. As soon as you hand him the card you look like a lemonade stand, that's what he sees.
Hand him a card that says lead technician, and you still look successful for your age, and then he can think there's a solid company behind all the work if he needs to.

I would personally try to fill the sides out more on the front. I still think it looks nice though.
Dude that is EXACTLY what I was thinking and I also wrote it down as Lead Technician on my business cards.

You hit the nail on the head as far as how I was thinking. I was trying to encompass everything as well as keeping the card "clean" From what I've noticed when people think technology.. they usually think clean, organized, sleek, etc. If I was doing home improvement or carpentry a more crammed card with a big list of services wouldn't be as bad. Get what im saying?
