'Never Leave Me'
A virtual watercooler where Buffistas in business can talk, share, exchange, bemoan, exult and assorted other power verbs associated with all areas of running/starting up a business. For existing or potential Buffista business owners of all types. Spamming is NOT ON. A list of our Buffista owned businesses is on our links page.
I like Option 2; the swirl is feminine, but not girly, and it's simple. The dark blue is sober and classic.
Resumes, I charge $50/ hour for simple review and tweaking; if it's a pretty complete rewrite and reformatting (you'd be going with a CV or res?) it's about $250.
I like #2 better (though I can totally see #1 as your style)
But for a business card, I like Erin's shorter version ('Senior Executive - Legal, Corporate and Higher Education Strategist') much better.
I agree about option 2. It's lovely, distinctive and easier to read than the first one.
Light on dark is hard to read on printed materials, particularly with the font that small.
I think you need something that's shorter and more of a selling proposition on the front and a mini-resume on the back. Try Googling "networking business cards."
Perhaps I will have more concrete ideas after more coffee.
Vortex, one consideration (aside from the legibility problem of light on dark) - people like to be able to write on the back of the business card. We had major issues with this at work, so learn from our mistake (one of many).
I like option 2 better. It seems more striking to me.

This is also a problem with cards that are glossy on both sides.
eta: I keep leaving out letters. It's probably another sign of senescence.
I hate it when practical considerations constrain my artistic vision.
Here's another approach:
Vortex
Strategic Thinker
Experienced Problem-Solver
Higher Education, Legal and Corporate
Senior Management
Oooohhhh, I like Ginger's bullet points.
Very clean.
