Natalia Rosen designed these business cards for Skin House, a skincare service based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Skin House is a facial bar that invites its clients to feel like they are enjoying more than just a facial, but an adventure away from home.

Speaking of the design inspiration, Natalia said, “We came up with a time to ‘Give your face a vacation’ because the illusion of tropical island vacation is showcased through the rich colour scheme and plant patterns.”

These business cards were printed by Replica Creative. According to Natalia, the branding itself was focused on strong colour palette and quirky identity.

“The card was less about the treatments but more about the colours, which was the backbone of the mood to this salon and how it played of the interior and wallpapers throughout the store.”

And as cheery on the top, we added same holographic foil on the edges,” said Adrian Chytry, the Graphic Designer and Co-Founder of Foxtrot Studio.

It’s an edgy, stylish business card design for someone who wishes to leave a lasting impression.

Whitnee King designed these business cards for Safe Haven Wildlife Sanctuary, a wildlife sanctuary based in Bordertown, South Australia.

“Safe Haven is a charity dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of native fauna, including kangaroos, wombats, wallabies, bettongs, possums, cockatoos, galahs, tawny frogmouths, wedge-tailed eagles and many other native species. These animals constantly feature throughout the branding,” Whitnee said.

The business cards are beautifully designed with catchy patterns and beautiful illustrations. Speaking more about the inspirations behind this fascinating design, she continued, “The branding includes a custom pattern made up of the footprints of some of the primary species found at the sanctuary, as well as custom illustrations of a kangaroo, wombat and cockatoo. The typography is inspired by the wildlife the sanctuary nurtures, imperfect and unique. Many animals still bear the scars of their injuries sustained by car accidents, etc.”

“The colour palette is inspired by Australia’s native flora as well as the vibrance and diversity of the animals that call Safe Haven home,” Whitnee added.

As for card-printing, Whitnee will likely print them through Vistaprint or the local Bordertown Hansen Print Shop.

“They will be produced on a budget, no varnishing or embellishments,” she said.

Unifikat Design Studio designed these business cards for Wizu, a beauty company.

Speaking of the client and design process, Paul Marcinkowski, the Brand Designer of Unifikat said, “Wizu company is a new beauty proposal on the market. We started this branding journey from naming. We proposed an interesting brand identity, we created a custom font to reflect the brand’s personality in the logo.”

“Apart from that, dynamic patterns, brand elements and gold hot-stamping were applied to express simplicity and elegance at the same time. We made a lot of symbols such as lips, hands, eye or the whole face. That way, we can have business cards with direction which client takes. Finally, to present all the branding materials we produced photography which can be used on social media platforms as well.”

Unifikat created multiple versions for the back design of the business card. According to Paul, these business cards were printed on 700g white eco paper via gold hot stamping method.

Arbocala Business Card

January 10, 2020
By: Jennifer Wong

Adri García designed these business cards for Arbocala, a winery that is known for its long family heritage (more than 100 years) and the constant innovation to achieve the excellence on the wine.

“Arbocala Winery takes its name from a pre-Roman village whose territory, according to some historians, is occupied by the city of Toro (Zamora, Spain) nowadays. I was requested to develop the brand identity with stationery and wines brochure,” Adri said.

Speaking further about his design inspiration, Adri said, “I always try to reflect the principal characteristics of the brand on the visuals. In this case, it was important to express heritage, tradition and excellence, but with a slightly more modern and updated design. Based on this, the logo is a representation of a family coat of arms, which combines the three key elements in wine elaboration: the vineyards, the warehouse and the passage of time. The choice of a coat of arms as the main element reflects the familiar heritage of the winery, and the simple and modern treatment of the mark shows this updated part of Arbocala.”

“Also, a visual system was established for stationery and other applications, where each of the key factors is associated with a specific colour and pattern: the wine is represented by the wavy pattern and the red colour; the vineyard with diagonal lines pattern and green colour while the time and weather with dots pattern and yellow colour.”

The fonts used in the visual identity including Sharp Grotesk 10 on the logo, Sharp Grotesk 25 for headers and Akkurat for the texts. As for the business cards, Adri divided all the contact information on a table with the brand stamp.

“This design is inspired by the old labels used on alcohol drinks to classify the bottles,” he explained.

These business cards are not printed but Adri did share with us his printing suggestions, “Talking about the paper, it was important to choose an elegant and quality paper. That is why I decided to use a 300 gr Fedrigoni Sirio Color Nude, a coloured and uncoated paper which fits perfectly with the brand. In terms of finishes, the idea was to use letterpress technique on the logo and the waves (on the back side of the card) to add a nicer tactile sensation.”

Jonas Söder Business Card

Jonas Söder designed these business cards for his self-branding as a graphic designer based in Germany.

When asked about the inspiration behind the card design, Jonas replied, “The main idea was to have a small portfolio of selected logo designs and the contact data within a grid layout like you would use for print materials or websites.” Now that’s a brilliant idea!

“With these cards I want to have the opportunity to hand out a card that showcases my skills at a first glance and catches the attention of potential clients,” he added.

These business cards are mockups for now but if they were to be printed, here’s what Jonas suggested, “I look forward to get these printed with a letterpress process to have the logos on the front ‘pressed’ into the paper.
This printing process is a bit more expensive than a regular one, but it will make the cards look really neat while giving them a classy touch.”

“Rakata Furniture takes a pride in creating pieces with a minimal impact on the environment. We were asked to create an identity to enhance and give an aesthetic touch to represent their products,” Reza said.

“The application of identity seeks to improve the customer experience of the brand. The logo is a mixture of guiding concept, constructed from typography and lines with the same thickness and recurrent lines found in modern architectural design. The pattern is created by combining the logo and square shapes, which can be seen as a secondary graphic.”

These business cards were offset printed using pantone colours on two sheets pasted of uncoated offset paper 310gr by a local printing company in Indonesia.

Deco Planters Business Card

By: Jennifer Wong

Adolfo Teixeira designed these business cards for Deco Planters, a company that specializes in designing and creating Steel Planters, owned by Isaac Blum.

“Earlier this year, I partnered up with the design studio, We Are Lion, to create the new brand identity for Deco Planters,” Adolfo said.

The monogram DP is a catchy one but guess what – that’s not the only thing shown through the logo.

“You can probably see the DP right away, but what about the vase and the plant? Think of a square vase and a plant inside it, while you are looking at it from a top view,” Adolfo suggested.

The business card design has a clean layout and the green/gold combo is a perfect fit. According to Adolfo, he used ‘golden’ to reinforce the high end feeling of the vases along with the green to represent the plants inside them.
