20 Awesomely Creative Business Cards

At a time when most people network via LinkedIn or some other form of social media, business cards can seem somewhat obsolete — they’re usually shoved in our wallet behind yesterday’s lunch receipt, never to be heard from again. It doesn’t help that most of them are pretty unmemorable, a few lines of personal information spelled out against a faceless background of bright white card stock. But just the way a beautifully handwritten note stands out in a bevy of text messages and chats, a unique and imaginative business card leaves a lasting impression. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite examples after the jump.

I like the Bombay bakery card. Were those really cookies? Or was that a printed card? Business cards like that can truly be memorable. Here’s something you guys may want to see, a business card carved into stone: http://printedgenius.com/business-card-carved-in-stone-seriously/ . The question is, would anyone accept it?

I really am grateful for the great article! I will unquestionably use your crucial recommendation on future deals of mine. My printer companies in Miami ,FL will definitely use all the guidance we can get! We opened just about four years ago and right now everything is directing in a secure place. By the way, when was this article given. Thanks again! Jason marshe

the fitness trainer one makes me uncomfortable. i know they serve no use for us dudes...but i'd like to keep my nipples

This is more than just a comb, it's a MUSICAL comb (the designer apparently trademarked "musical business comb")that plays some part of "Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones. I wish there was an audio link so I could hear what the card sounds like. It's pretty impressive when you can make international news with a business card design. I imagine the client is pretty happy...

For some reason, fabulous design always restores my faith in humanity.
