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.
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

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.

Since your business is not bound to a location, I really don't think a city is required.

Bonny, I prefer to have a city just so people have an idea of where I am and more importantly, what time zone im in! Ginger, do you get a lot of local business, or travel to clients? I do, I'd say Decatur. Otherwise, Atlanta.

I think using Atlanta is better, unless there's a lot of local business that will appreciate your location. OTOH, will people think that you're fronting?

clearly I am outnumbered. I think I'm the only one who liked 2.
