worst business card design of this list

AT FIRST GLANC,E THIS BUINSS CARD DOESNT LOOK LIKE A BUSINESC ARD AT ALL\

annoys me the most

Web Burza is eye-gougingly ugly.

My favourite: Chilly Pepper. That lonesome carrot is just so inexplicable. (Or is it a slightly orange-ish pepper?)

I know one of these dudes.

I would like to point out that yes, someone did name their company "magnivate"

specifically, this man

This is deceptively simple. The initials of the artist were interlaced so intelligently that it looks like an icon.

Uhhhhhhh . . . .

kelvin farrell, cuz it looks like an "idiot's guide"

for pure fugliness, web burza. i hate the ones that look like "quirky" free wordpress templates.

the card is both corporately beautiful and elegant.

???

“If you let me take your photo, thanks! If not, here you go anyway."

"hazardous idea division"

hazardous idea division guy clinched it by listing his weight and height in metric despite living in america (in fact in my old neighborhood).

also listing his weight and height at all, i guess.

Really like 'Queen of Diamonds' - that's a super card imo.

Voted 'I'm in the video and animation business"

the card is both corporately beautiful and elegant.

???

I feel like there's this whole brand of corporate-speak where simple declarative statements are passed off as insights

these all look hella 'early 2000s'

Hazardous idea guy lists his country as Narnia. How hazardous could his ideas be?

my advice to clients when advising how to produce a unique eye catching business card is elegantly encapsulated in one simple word 'leather'

balsa wood
Comic sans
Press-on eyes from the craft store

3 keys to success

corporate beauty is what I'm all about

xps unless you're a vegan realtor:

facepalm

i support all branding concepts that urge you to ~think abt it~

"think about it" never means anything other than "I'm right"

let's face it-

ws vegan realtor

even if he made that tight-lipped face the whole time

:|

will reject all business card ideas that are not "fresh"

guys i got business cards yesterday!!!

ws = would stab, right?

kinda worried that his "non-human animals" clarification means he likes to play hard tho

oh my gosh I have his direct line and everythign – I feel so immodest
sorry, everyone 'lol @ graphic design,' nevermind me

i only do business with "straight edge" realtors

"diesalslaw" made my spleen flare up the most, so that one.

really thought this was a satirical article at first. so confused nowadays by things.

"whimsical". yikes

prufoxroach sounds like a weird fantasy animal or the titular character of a children's book

"THE PRUFOX ROACH"

the love song of

T.S. Eliot-themed roach fetish porn

hahah

dunno what any of these business cards would do aside from imply that you really value superficial things and put your money in the wrong places

unless you're a design agency, i guess. and yet then - what if somebody doesn't like the design of your card? i'd figure it best to approach it neutral...maximum helvetica

haha i got handed this one last nite:

i was djing and he came up, handed me his card and $10 and said "great set!"

is he this dude?

yes!

omg!

the business card makes more sense to me now.

lol

chilli pepper is actually a carrot smh

Can't pick which graphic designer's card is the worst - I can forgive all the other cards for being DIY or hiring an overzealous designer, but a graphic designer really has no excuse for an ugly card.

oh my god all the cartoons... all the cartoons... :[

voted 'were totally going steady w/teh nets' for the unbearable cloyingness - there are prob worse offenses on there but i had the most visceral reaction to that one

voted for tony roko because he should be ashamed, but queen of diamonds was a close second with the "!"

hazardous idea division guy clinched it by listing his weight and height in metric despite living in america (in fact in my old neighborhood).

He's 2.1 m (6'11) tall and weighs 78 kg (172 pounds), more like hazardous diets division guy.

Diesel Laws one looks like a rave invite.

To be fair, some of these would look OK if not seen en masse with so many others

Diesel Laws one looks like a rave invite.

i thought it looked like a 1960s movie poster (never been invited to a rave)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Web Burza might interest me because I would be misled into thinking I could use it for free crap on the internet.

Diesel Laws looks most like a fliar and would get trashed almost immediately.

Black, gray and white HRJ one looks like a credit card. Terribly misleading.

How is a bookmark business card gonna fir in my wallet?

And the ones with terrible taglines are terrible.

I'll go with Diesel Laws as the worst because it's instant trash.

Russell T4n0u could stand to brush up on his kerning and spacing techniques

Russell T4n0u3 is probably basically Magnitude:

This is mostly otm. A lot of these are not fundamentally bad, design wise - they just look VERY 2003/04 (which is maybe when the sensibilities of the author/editor/etc stopped evolving?

These ones are OK I think: Element, dude in boat, carrot

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
