Time for new business cards The last time I got Raible Designs' business cards was when I first started the company - way back in 1998. I still have a couple boxes left, but with all the networking opportunities in my future - it's about time I got some new ones. So I'm looking for recommendations of good business card designers/printers. Maybe I should host a contest and give away an iPod to the winner? ;-)

As a sidenote, what do you think about putting the cert icons (i.e. MSCE and SCJP) on business cards? I think it was cool when I first got certified, but now it seems pointless. It just takes up space and would probably take away from a nicely designed card. Posted in General at Feb 25 2004, 10:54:55 AM MST 2 Comments

Check out vista print if you want free business cards. http://www.vistaprint.com/vp/ns/bcfree.aspx But im thinking if you want really nice ones then u might have to pay for it ;) As for putting cert icons, i dont think its a good idea. You are way beyond certifications matt. I think your blog speaks more than your certifications. My 2 cents

Use Vista Print, Yes! Even if you pay for the noon-free cards the deal is fantastic. I've tried 3 other companies, and they did not stand the test of time. With one, the paper would look crumpled as soon as I picked one up ($600 sheesh), or with another company the print would rub off after a month in your wallet. (yeay, that's gonna do me a lot of good!) I finally tried Vista for Allen's recording studio cards and they came out so wonderful I want to remake the band biz cards and my web design cards. For 250 in full color (using a photograph), his cost only $43. I can mail you one so you can see the quality. I made the design in Illustrator and then uploaded the entire design. His cards even has a list of his services on the back in regular black type.
