Creating a really great business card can be tricky. You want to make it stylish and elegant without being too busy or over-stylized. One of the best ways to come up with a really great design idea of your own is to check out what other people have come up with. You can borrow design elements from more than one source to come up with a design that’s truly all your own. Take a look at the following 5 amazing black business card designs and get ready to be inspired.
As you can see, this business card design is vertical rather than horizontal like most other business cards. They’ve included a few silver/white design elements that help add some interest without taking away from the overall simplicity and elegance of the design. Something as simple as using a vertical design can really help you stand out, especially if you are in a design related industry. Showing people your own personal style can go a long way in gaining people’s trust and ultimately landing new clients.
What I really love about this design is the texture that’s used on the black card stock. This brings a whole other element to your business cards, the sense of touch. This small detail can really help to make your black business card stand out in someone’s mind. Generally, the more senses you can bring into the play, the more memorable your business card will be. If you want to take this concept a step further, you could always buy scented card stock or spray your business cards with a great smelling cologne or perfume. Just be careful, as not everyone is a fan and certain smells can actually give some people headaches.
I really like how this black business card incorporate a flash of yellow to help provide some visual interest. With black business cards most people will generally go with white/silver highlights or something much brighter to contrast the black card stock. Black cards with bright colors really look great with a glossy finish while black cards with darker style elements typically look better with a matte finish, especially when you incorporate a texture into the design.
What I like about this design is the clever and playful addition of a set of eyeballs on the back of the card. I also like how they used rounded edges, almost makes these cards look like playing cards you might use on poker night. The eyes really stand out and gives people a reason to talk about your business card, which is huge. The more people are talking about you and your business, the better. The more you can get people to think about you the more inclined they will be to use your products and services in the future.
I really like the ink used to print the text on this business card. It changes from dark gray to silver when you view it at just the right angle. Sort of reminds me of those really expensive paint jobs people get on their cars that change color as they roll by. This can go a long way in making your new business card a memorable one. Just the fact that people have to physically move your card to read the information goes a long way in imprinting it into people’s minds.
