I think these cards are awesome, I would definitly pick one up if I saw on on the shelf of a store for free. It really has a lot of good color, and it would catch my eye easliy. Maybe the back is a little crowded. Smaller font for "the things that you do" list, But this is great.

so you've got your logo to the point you are pleased with it?

[vtwin_gary]

i will never be completly happy with anything i do for myself but... i'm not doing a huge corporate campaign here. no sign just cards... so i can change it next time if need be. i did change it up since the last but i'm sure without being side by side it will be hard to see. the biggest change it the word "color" & the ampersand.
what are your thoughts, sugestions?

[Mynock]

let me stew on it, I need to get some bf2 playing in atm. :)

I like it. the & is a little distracting with all the lines but over all it looks very good. I like the use of the star... pops right out.

I'm not completely sold on your logo idea, however it works out pretty good on the front of the card. I agree with defjoe...the "&" seems a little too big or something...maybe make it slightly smaller...or maybe even gray to tone it down.

I really like the back of the card...very cool and different. Only thing I might suggest is making the copy slightly smaller on all of the things that you do and then scoot your name down a bit.

Just my .02¢. Nice job though all-in-all. I really like the color scheme...makes me think Coca-Cola.

I like your colour choices, the "Fried Color" side looks good to me, the reverse side with all of your information looks a little cluttlered, like it needs some white space. It seems like between the front and the back you have several fonts going on, I might try consolidating a few of them.
I like how you only have bleed in selected areas, it's a nice touch.

I like the front of the card, but the back seems a little cheep... I mean the info on the back covers to much space. Try maybe different font... a little smaller, thiner... you don't have to fill all the white space ;)

what cha think?

[Cyclops]

better I guess, but I would put the things you do only on two rows, separated by a bullet cercle or better a red small star and move the the name and title down a bit... but that is what i would do... :D

I love the Fried Color 'logo'...i think on the other side you should leave more space open....simply because as a designer.....when speaking with a potential client you want to have room to jot things down..I have found that extremely useful with my own card....im always drawing little sketches of the 'brainstorm' at the moment to give them a better idea of where I am going with it...
also i think the ( big checks) is a little much...do you do a whole lot of those? sometimes on word can lead to another...and everything you are capable of could never fit on a 3" piece of paper
maybe you should have the back more geared to the type of printing you do....and have found to be the most lucrative in your area.....The bleeds are really nice...and I also like the way it is simple yet effective..that is key in logo design. great Work!:)
