I really love living in the future. I just emailed .pdfs to our local print shop, who are holding our newsletter shells for us, and they will merge, print, assemble, stamp, and send our newsletter for us. And I didn't have to leave the house. It is the best thing ever.

One more round of business cards:

Thing Two: [link]
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Ginger -- I like both cards; they aren't cookie-cutter and the proofing mark after Georgia is clever!
My only hesitation - and YMMV of course - is adding your home addy (and I am assuming it's your home address) to your business cards.
Unless you have regular F2F meetings at your home office, I would be a little nervous, but then, I leave my business cards everywhere and hand them out to tons of people. Perhaps just city and state?
Again, just my own safety-paranoia quirk.

I like them both, but number 2 a little more. I second the home address thing. How many people are going to actually mail you something that you couldn't give them your address.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I actually prefer the 1st card the best. I like the "white space" to the side of the pencil and visually I'm drawn to it.
I can see the comments about home addy.
I think you need to have a Web site built around this image and style. I think that would be arresting.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I prefer the overall layout on the first, but on the second I like that the pencil is making the mark. Gives it a dynamic feel and makes it clearer (for the clueless/young) that the scribble is not random.

Oh, I like #2 though they're both nice. And I third the home address part, though I suppose you might get more stuff mailed than I do (checks?), I only have city and state on mine. But my company has my address to mail things to, it's just that people I give my card to don't.

Compassionately intolerant
I concur on the address issue. I even paid for a p.o. box for 10 years until I realized that clients used it for a total of 3 times in a decade.
Back in the day, marketing folks said that you HAD to have a physical address for legitimacy. That doesn't seem to be the case any more.
I opened Thing Two and said, "That's the one!"
I lurve it...agree with le nubian about having a website built around that image.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I like #2, Ginger, and I second or third not having your home address on the card. I like the idea of a website page done to the same design.

The card is based on the web design I've been working on, so I hope it's arresting.
You have a point about the address. I was just in the mindset that business cards have addresses. Also, I'm the only person with my last name in the state.
If I just put the city, I wonder if I should put Decatur or Atlanta.
