Business Card Interest

[woody90gtz]

Looks good Gerson! I took the liberty of making a couple little changes...more room for a message on the back and lightened it up for more easily readable pen scribbles, and the fade on the bottom of the Beretta logo with a little description.

Let me know what you think.

[NMBeretta]

I like that^^^^^

There ya go, now you can either print these at home if you wish to spend the money on ink/paper, OR I guess you can use any business card company to have them printed.

I like Woody's version as well. I think you went a bit far on the second revision Wanako by removing the resource information.

I still like the idea of one person getting a big batch printed professionally and sell smaller batches to the rest of us with the proceeds going back to the site.

Sweeet! Gerson and Woody save the day!

Yes this is not a bad idea, but the overhead of re-shipping and making a profit on them will make the cards expensive and I don't see the need of putting that burden on the end users... If you wish to support the site there is still a yellow donate button at the top right of the board. Also if you simply have a stated "approved board card layout" in a thread that gives any user the ability to print the cards where they choose and to what quantity and then there is no large single investment made by the board which could result with backstock and not even making the money back to cover the investment.

I prefer woody's version also. I will be getting a large batch printed in a couple of months regardless and will be putting them up on the storefront. This will be active all year for some items, we just have to have some things worked out between myself and mike yet.

I am officially completely in love with Woody's Edit.

HOWEVER... as we have discussed in prior pages of this thread, I believe that it should go to vote. We can put all three designs up in the poll.

As for who makes them/sells them/distributes them... I think that they should be available in the site store AND we should allow members to print their own as they see fit WITH THE UNDERSTANDING that the design will NOT be changed person to person.

EDIT: OR... we allow all three designs to be printed and let users pick what they print at will.

I completely agree with Styluss.

[Wanako]

f'ing Woody!

Saving the day! Good lookin' out bro. I really could not think of what to do extra to it. I felt it was so empty and didn't know what else to put into it, but you put the right touches in it. I got "artist's block" at the worst time. Thanks for your help man.

Ryan, if you decide to do a vote, don't put mine in there. Consider mine replaced by Woody's edit. I am completely contempt with the changes he's made to it.It looks awesome!

Woody's edit is perfect! I haven't chimed in on this at all till' now, but it's a great idea, and I have been on the lookout for this to be done.
Around here, I've seen 1 Beretta sense I got my Z last may, and it's a 95, and otherwise identical to mine, a Z26 and the same color. Can't wait to put a card on they're car! It's at the same place everyday. Gonna print some up to use!
Thanks to everyone whose contributed to this!

[Bman Gtz]

Agreed, I like Woddy's edit.

To be fair and review for those who may not have been following along: 1 of 4

I just finished re-designing the cards for my other site and I thought I would just give it a shot. If you like it you like it, if not you don't. If I upset anyone with it tell me and I will remove the image and delete the file. All I am doing is trying to help. The borders are just there to show the printing edge of the cards and should be removed before printing.

My thoughts are that you have - (1), two second chance to get the targets attention. A BFest group shot immediately shows the person that we have a community of nice cars - and that we actually meet in real life. It gives the group credibility. Put one sentence on the front, Join us at http://www.beretta.net! Then put a bit of info on the back, and leave room to write a short note.

2 minutes of crappy work:



Just my opinion, others have chimed in some agreement. The BFest group shot offers us yearly options for change, arrangement, etc.

Again, just my 2 cents. No need to roll eyes at me.

3 of 4:

If it will help, I did just upload these bigger (400 % of actual size) images, just to be clear.

Front:



Back:





I figure since everyone has been seeing actual sized versions, maybe a larger one has more impact...

And I'm flexible, we can always use different car graphics, those are just what I had.
