I like the organic shaped die-cut, it works for me. Is that all of the contact information that they requested on the card? it seems to defeat the purpose of having a business card with only an e-mail for personal contact info. Have you thought of how the logo will present if you have to use it in a vertically oriented imprint area? It might be worth-while to have a version with a condensed wave graphic for these situations.
I agree that this logo could be problematic when used vertically, but I like the idea of the wave. Though the type seems uninspired. I'd experiment with different typefaces.
Is the card only going to provide name and web address/email? I don't think it's working compositionally set smack in the center of the card.
i'll point you to my comments on the logo post, but i'll point out a couple of things here, too. i think the wave works fine here as a branding element, but (as i said on the logo post), not so well for the logo.
Love the shape of the card. When I first looked at it, my eye went to the bottom of the card to the large waves. Have you tried making them smaller? Do you think it crowds the information on the front? What if you made the back a full bleed shade of the blue for more interest and it would bring out the die-cut more?
Yikes! You know that curvy die cut is going to cost you an arm and a leg, right? If you have to do it, get more milage out of it. Have something get right up to that edge and get cut off, for example.
It's not bad, but see my comments on the logo redesign for more.
nice concept, however, (and i'm surprised i'm the first to mention it) the die cut on the back would be on the other side of the card. you forgot to mirror the card, when you flip it over, the cut won't remain on the right side of the card... that could make the wave design on the bottom awkward.
with that said, i am curious about the cost as well.. don't see it beingt hat worth while for a card like this. the lack of information is odd to be honest...
I noticed the other day that the background on my ps3 screen looks just like this... but brown.

Thank you, Kscho77 .
Yes, he only wants the name, email and site. He is re-structuring the company and maybe phones, address, etc will change.

It's pretty nice. Why is the name on the front black but nothing else is?
I want to know how much each of these cards is going to run especially since it only has an email address on it.

Hi pokie.
"Why is the name on the front black but nothing else is? "
Good question. Maybe to contrast with the white background.
The idea from my client is to write by hand any other information in the biz card.
Perhaps, in the near future when things get re-structured, he will want more info there.

all in all, it doesn't really work in my opinion.
