Mrs. Penguin’s Business Cards

Mrs. Penguin’s Business Cards

I decided to have some letterpress business cards printed up as a gift for Mrs. Penguin recently. We don’t really have official titles here at Weddingbee, so when I got to thinking what Mrs. Penguin’s title should be, I realized that she’s really been the Editor in chief since the beginning of this year. She’s been doing a fantastic job — she loves Weddingbee and it really shows! Meanwhile I’ve been able to concentrate on growing traffic and building new features.

Mrs. Bird of Paradise recently started her own letterpress shop, so she pulled together these wonderfully clean designs for us. Mrs. Penguin wants you guys to decide on her business cards, so please let us know what you think!

Option A: The logo in “Weddingbee green” with Cathleya’s deets in silver. The hearts would be blind (no ink) embossed into the cards.

Option B: The logo in “Weddingbee green” with Cathleya’s deets and the bee path in a lighter green.

Option C: The logo and Cathleya’s deets in “Weddingbee green” with a red heart. This card is also slightly shorter than a standard business card so that it stands out.

Which card should Mrs. Penguin choose and why?

I work in construction and I get business cards alllll the time…and the ones that stand out to me are the ones that are in a cool color (The Langham Hotel has pink business cards/pink stationary etc) or an odd size. So I say #2 all the way.

Option #2! The bee path is symbolic of all the bloggers (past, present and future) on the site, and has a simple, clean, modern look.

I say #1 design (love the embossing), #3 size….I have oversized business cards and everyone loves them….and people keep them. I have to admit that most business cards end up under my car seat…at the bottom of my purse and other random locations.

I like a mix of the three. I like the Weddingbee written in weddingbee green with the bee path in a lighter green, but I think the wording should be in the silver and the heart in the red. I think it would stand out a little more. Take the best from each of the cards.

I like 1 the best I think, followed by 2….I don’t like #3 at all. I don’t like odd sized business cards since they don’t fit as nicely into my business card holder.

Um, whoa, I need to organize my thoughts into one comment. Have you considered a square-shaped card. They REALLY stand out in a pile!

I agree that odd sized cards are where its at. The company I work for has extra thick (think double thick) business cards and a bit oversized printed on both sides. People always comment and agree that its hard for those ones to get lost in the shuffle.

I say 3!

Great job Pengy! You are doing a fabulous job!

I like colored business cards, but not oddly shaped ones just because they often don’t fit well with the other ones in the stack or if it was square, wouldn’t fit in my holder and would likely end up in my pants –> washing machine.

I like option B best but think it would look even better with silver instead of light green details.

Also, I really don’t like odd-sized business cards. They’re harder for me to keep organized!

@keyedontie: Mrs. Bee gave me the option to remain anonymous, but because this is my real-life work, I’m happy to reveal my secret (real) identity.

Can you do a mix of #2 & #3? I love the Bee path embossed, but I like the heart and the different sized card.
Great designs BOP!
and ditto to Miss Bruschetta, you’re doing a FAB job Pengy!

I like option C the best. I agree that I always notice when I get a business card that is a different size or shape. Bright colors don’t really do it for me, so I love the simple design of these. I bet they will look awesome in letterpress!

I like #2 best but with the red heart from #3! Also, just as an aside…should it be Editor in Chief with a capital C instead of Editor in chief with a lowercase C because it’s a title? My grammar police brain wants it to be capitalized. What say you, Ms. Editor? Love the cards!
