Critique my Card - Round 2

[QualitySigns]

I truly appreciated everyone's suggestions the first time around. I took the best of them and applied them to both the front and back of my new card design and have posted them here. You will notice that I have posted several ideas for the back of the card, as that seemed to generate the most debate. ALL constructive criticism is welcome. Please give me your comments, both positive and negative. Thank you in advance!

Too many slashes. Get rid of the two wedge shapes next to "and Design" It's almost not bad however...

 

[Craig Sjoquist]

Agrees with SignManiac.... likes 1st one for back the fad & logo.

Looks good way to go.

 

[Jillbeans]

Please lose all that italic...it's just too much.
Love....Jill

do you really need to pack the back of your card that much?

The logo stays as is. What do you think of the card design(s)?

I wasn't in love with that either - just threw it out there. What are your thoughts on the card design(s)?

 

[QualitySigns]

My suggestion for the backside of the card.

The information stays on the back (without the italics). It's a good place for it. Do you have any other suggestions? Which design of the back of the card do you like the best (ignoring the wordiness, of course).

The info on the back is fine... keeps the front from being cluttered. However, it just doesn't have to fill up so much space, that's all. Don't be afraid of the margins or empty space.

Duly noted; thanks. Ignoring the crowding, which one of the back designs do you like?

 

[HulkSmash]

way too much on back. Seriously. Make a breakdown..of your breakdown.

Other than the wordiness, which of the back designs do you like? I am going to work on making the back of the card appear less crowded.

Update

How does this look folks?

 

[signmeup]

I'd do it like this.

More critiques please!

Seems you don't need critiques, as you keep saying everything stays as-is. If you DO want a critique, lose all the info on the back. You already have "signs and design" in your business name, right? Do you REALLY need to add in: "SIGNS, BANNERS & VEHICLE SIGNS" in addition to that? or "GRAPHICS" or "SIGN FACES" or "LOGOS AND GRAPHIC DESIGN" or "ADVERTISING DESIGN"??

It only adds clutter and offers nothing of value to your card which is all about basic contact information. Leave the rest to your website and other marketing materials.

Does a restaurant list it's entire menu on a card? Does a Barber say "short haircuts, long haircuts, shaves, trims?" not usually. And if they do, it looks cheap and low-rent. Kinda like the back of your card. Just sayin.

Lose the blue bolt design maybe separate your name and number on the front in a panel
