Recently we redesigned our business card to include the new logo of antzFx.com.
In this article, we are sharing a few specifications for a business card design. Also, you can download a blank template with layer guides.
Our Design
It is a minimum clutter design with a stress on the logo. The reverse side of the card features the tagline ‘you have seen nothing yet!’ and our twitter ID. Here is a comparison between the existing design and the new design.
The existing design resembled our website, complete with the upper and lower shadows.
