Clever business card design ideas for your profession
If you use your business cards to promote your business, a little injection of humour applied to the design will make them much more memorable and attractive (unless you are an undertaker). In most cases a clever business card design will make you seem more approachable and likeable, especially if yours is a small business you can show your individuality.
Here are some examples of how clever designs have been applied for different professions and as a result have even ended up promoting these businesses on the internet as they have gone viral!
The most obvious one: Graphic designers and other creative guys showing off their skill on their own business cards:
These cards speak for themselves (click on image to see larger version):
Clever business card designs for lawyers and counsellors:
One of my favourite designs must be this divorce lawyer’s business card, which provides the divorcing couple with an amicable 50/50 deal (at least as far as the business card is concerned)! And here a post marriage counselling card that promises to heal the rift. You could either just tear your own business cards to shreds to achieve this effect and stick them back together – or simply print the image to achieve the optical effect.
A funny business card design for this shop:
This second hand shop card design is not only very creative, but also environmentally friendly and unforgettable! Printing double sided business cards is inexpensive, so this and similar creative design ideas are not difficult to realise.
Even in medical profession you get creative business card designs:
Dentist, doctors and physiotherapists all have come up with funny designs vying customers their way. The hole in the tooth disappears when this dentist’s telephone number becomes visible. Very clever stuff! This is another example of a dentist whose business card will leave you with a good impression of what he is about!
Thanks to the creativity of their business card designers, this orthodontist handed out promotional pacifiers with his business cards.
And then this personal trainer has you working out before you can even given him a call!
Unless humour is really out of place, a genuinely funny business card will give you an edge on your competitors. I believe that for most lines of business it is possible to come up with a clever and creative idea. It really pays off to take the time and think about it.
