4 beautiful minimalistic business card designs for your inspiration.
Every company uses business cards. If you have ever attended a business networking event, you will likely have received a few dozen business cards from different companies. This has happened a few times. Each time I look at the business card I get, I often think about the impression I get of the company because I received that card. Most of the time, that first impression is a positive one. There are still some business cards that look cluttered and poorly designed. It is my belief that businesses can’t create great business cards.
Many businesses don’t take enough care of their business cards, so they don’t spend enough time or effort creating them. Fastprint believes that business cards are the most important marketing tools your company will use. Therefore, they must be easy to read, concise, and eye-catching.
Here are some of my favorite beautiful and minimalistic business cards to inspire you.
#1 – Stephan De Wolf
It would be easy to assume that being a designer means you will have great business cards. Unfortunately, this is not always true. While I have received tons of business cards from so-called graphic artists, they have always been the worst business cards I’ve ever seen. Stephan De Wolf’s business card is an excellent example of this. The colour scheme used for the business card is well thought out and actually uses two opposite colours (black/white). The simple green stripe helps to tie the two sides together.
You will find all the information on your business card. The business card gives you all the information you need, including the name of the designer and the type of design (graphic or industrial), as well as his contact details. You don’t need anything else, as you can see from his business card design that this guy knows his stuff.
#2. – Fuse
These business cards by Fuse, a UK-based print and media design agency, are absolutely fantastic. These cards are simple and elegant, and Fuse really went back to basics. Fuse chose a bold, uncoloured design. Again, Fuse used contrasting and opposing colours to make the design stand out. Fuse’s designs are eye-catching because they use white text against a jet black background. However, Fuse’s typography and spacing complement the design.
The business card contains all the information you would expect from a business card: the name of your company, their business, and the contact details of the designer. The card’s texture adds luxury to its design. It’s a nice touch, literally! ).
#3 – Flower Lantern
These Flower Lantern business cards were included because I wanted to highlight the fantastic design and the unusual business card shape. Business cards come in a standard format (i.e. These business cards are rectangular and, although they are rectangular, you will see that they are longer than traditional business cards. The cards are immediately noticeable, but the simple design only adds to their beauty and simplicity. The method uses contrasting colours (black & white), but I love the typography.
You’ll see that different font sizes and font faces were used for other parts of the design. The card’s most memorable part is the name, Kathryn Vernon. It has been printed in Bold font. Although the contact details are beautiful, they use a different style and size. The card design is enhanced by the attractive, simple logo.
#4 – 19 Marks
19Marks is a design company, and, as you can see from the image above, they are the ones who created one of the most minimalistic and simplistic business card designs ever to use color. While color can be a great way to draw attention to your business cards, you should use it sparingly and creatively. This card design is an example of this. The image doesn’t show the actual use of color. This makes the cards stand out when they are stacked together (as shown in the picture).
The vibrant orange color was also used in the card design but only sparingly. It is used only for the “Creative Designer”, and the asterisk in the logo. The business card is predominantly black and white, apart from that. The contrast between the three colours (orange, black, and white) creates a bold and straight forward design.
Conclusion
Beautiful business cards are possible, but the most effective ones are often the simplest. The business cards in this collection show that there are many ways to create a striking and minimalistic business card. However, it is important to use colour and typography.
You can choose to stick to a mono chromatic black-and-white approach or add vibrant colours like the 19Marks design. You should use colour and typography sparingly, and creatively. You shouldn’t pack too many details into your card design.
