Most people advertise by old concept their business cards to a paper or shoving them in a generic business card. However, you’re a visionary entrepreneur and such old-fashioned business card advertising methods just won’t do! Instead, you hunger for something unique that makes your business cards stand out from the rest, possibly something a little like this: Before Cool Laser Cut Business Card Designs
Let's start with a card that includes a magnetic strip, which simply plugs into a USB adapter which in turn syncs the new data with your Address book.
USB business card
A cheaper solution is to include a mobile phone readable 2D barcode on your card that allows people to scan in your data quickly and precisely.
A bit more creativity and a little less die-cut can also demonstrate well what your client does. In this case the dentist removing cavities.
You can use other more expensive materials if paper doesn't hold well enough. This one for example is made up of thin wood board.
Maybe not like this one.
The thing with die-cuts is they show on the other side of the card, which is usually an annoyance, but if you're smart you can make good use of it, like on this card made for a company Lion in Oil. This card reads both ways.
Laser cut card, this idea really pushes the limits of what can be achieved with paper
This concept card includes a ring with a proximity sensor and allows exchange of data when you shake hands with your new contact. This would give a whole new meaning to the handshake that now becomes obsolete among teens.
The message is very important if you're going to bear the extra cost of laser cutting or die-cutting.
This card for a manicurist is a little oversized, but it may even prove to be useful.
And if wood isn't enough for even more detail go for thin metal sheets.
I know this idea has been done before for photographers, but still like this one because it makes a good use of the die-cut on both sides.
Err... Allow me not to comment on this one.
Prefer twitter? Make sure you twitter the event of giving a card out immediately.
With all the new technology around us, do we still need to carry physical business cards around? Can't we just rely on people googling us? Well, it may work as long as you have a memorable set of keywords that surely resolve to your domain.
You can make the holes big enough so you can put your fingers through to complete the picture, like on this card for Yoga classes.

Logo design is a major factor that will be displayed when a product or company will be promoted in bulk. Choosing the right concept for a logo is necessary first point in designing a logo that fit with its mission, vision, and the credibility of a product or company.
Well, what should be a consideration when designing a logo that will be qualified?
1. Logo type
Text associated with logos, symbols, and a combination of both. Election Font Face appropriate course would be a determinant of the logo that will be created (the most appropriate example is Coca-Cola logo). So it is with symbols, it is definitely a fitting symbol of the company will make the image better again (example is the Nike swoosh). Any combination thereof, would give a different effect when compared to stand alone.
Choosing colors is easy-easy arguably difficult. It would be better if you involve some people in terms of color because their input could be very valuable. Colors are divided into two categories, namely the color of the light (spirit, energy, creativity, self-confident, happy, optimistic) and the color of pale / opaque (peace, harmony, honesty, calm, beautiful, inspiration). Selebih is white (not guilty or sterile) and black (elegant or evil).
3. Finally, keep it simple
Simplify the logo you created. The design was too complex are feared to make attention become fragmented and unfocused. Use color wisely (do not wear too many colors). Simplicity logo will show your product or company is more authentic and professional.[]

Want to know how to design a logo like a professional and have all the resources you need in just one post? Then this is the post for you… Learn professional logo design in just 5 steps!
1. Learn What A Logo Is and What It Represents
Before you design a logo, you must understand what a logo is, what it represents and what it is supposed to do. A logo is not just a mark – a logo reflects a business’s commercial brand via the use of shape, fonts, colour, and / or images.
A logo is for inspiring trust, recognition and admiration for a company or product and it is our job as designers to create a logo that will do its job.
One must know what a logo is before continuing.
For further reading on what is a logo check out Wikipedia’s Definition.
2. Know The Principles of Effective Logo Design
1. A logo must be simple
A simple logo design allows for easy recognition and allows the logo to be versatile & memorable. Good logos feature something unexpected or unique without being overdrawn.
2. A logo must be memorable
Following closely behind the principle of simplicity, is that of memorability. An effective logo design should be memorable and this is achieved by having a simple, yet, appropriate logo.
3. A logo must be timeless
An effective logo should be timeless – that is, it will stand the test of time. Will the logo still be effective in 10, 20, 50 years?
4. A logo must be versatile
An effective logo should be able to work across a variety of mediums and applications. For this reason a logo should be designed in vector format, to ensure that it can be scaled to any size. The logo must work in just one colour too.
5. A logo must be appropriate
How you position the logo should be appropriate for its intended purpose. For example, if you are designing a a logo for children’s toys store, it would be appropriate to use a childish font & color scheme. This would not be so appropriate for a law firm.
For further reading on the rules and principles of great logo design I highly recommend to read the logo design tips from Logo Factory before continuing and also the article Why logo design does not cost $5.00. You may also wish to read How NOT To Design A Logo.
3. Learn Off Other’s Successes & Mistakes
Now you know what the rules of logo design are, you can distinguish the difference between a good and a bad logo… By knowing what other logos have succeeded and why they have succeeded gives a great insight into what makes a good logo.
For example, lets look at the classic Nike Swoosh. This logo was created by Caroline Davidson in 1971 for only $35 yet it still a strong, memorable logo, effective without colour and easily scalable. It is simple, fluid and fast and represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek Goddess of victory, Nike – something perfect for a sporting apparel business. Nike is just one of many great logos, think about other famous brands that you know about and check out their logos – what makes them successful?
For more quality, lesser known logos I recommend checking out Logo Of The Day or going to your local book store or library and looking at a logo design book.
The Not So Successful Logos
We can also learn off logos that have not been as successful such as the ones in the above picture or these bad logo designs. As seen in that post linked, some logos can depict things that may have not always be noticeable to the designer (as in the middle logo above) or they could just be plain bad design, as in the logo to the right.
4. Establish Your Own Logo Design Process
Now that we know what a logo is, what the principles and rules of logo design are and what makes a successful logo we can now finally begin the design process. This it hardest part of the 5 steps and is its own topic in itself – Each person’s logo design process is different and experience usually is the key factor in creating your own logo design process however check out The Secret Logo Design Process Of Top Logo Designers for a better idea.
In short, a logo design process usually consists of
1. The Design Brief
2. Research & Brainstorming
3. Sketching
4. Prototyping & Conceptualising (See Step 5)
5. Send To Client For Review
6. Revise & Add Finishing Touches
7. Supply Files To Client and Give Customer Service
If you ever get stuck before or during your design process check out this great article on How To Boost Your Creativity.
5. Learn The Software and Complete The Logo
After you have got your design process sorted out, it is usually a good time to begin mastering your software (Adobe Illustrator is the industry standard) but remember you can’t design a logo by just hopping straight onto the computer… brainstorm and sketch first.
After you have got your initial ideas and sketches from brainstorming you can then usually jump onto the computer to start digitising your logo. After you have got a great concept(s) digitised you can send it to your client, get revisions, and eventually complete the logo and thus, you have successfully created a professional logo.
Do you have any other tips or suggestions on how to make a professional logo?
