10 creative business cards

Business cards don't seem that necessary these days, when people can track down your email address or Facebook page in seconds. So, they seem to have taken on a new function: clever pieces of art to set your business apart. First up, above is an edible card for a survival training business...
A jewelry brand...
Personal trainer...

Seven more below...

Hair stylists...
Yoga instructor...
Divorce lawyer...
Typographer...
Massage therapist...
Photographer...
...And bike mechanic.

How rad are these?!

  49. Great use of imagination! :) I have to start planning one for a journalist. What could it be? A pen, which opens from the other end and where the card is roled inside? :) Oh, my inner child just woke up. These are hilarious!

    BTW; Thankyou for your blog. I was amazed when I found this and wondered why on Earth I haven´t found it before. I´m a Finnish journalist and nutrition student and keen on exactly on the things that you are writing about. The best chocolate recepie was the major finding! =) Thankyou so much. You made my today and most likely many days in the future as well.

  60. These are so cool! I recently found my Dad's first business card from when he was 19. He had a pen and ink drawing on the front to exhibit his art skills, and would give it to people in the special effects business. Now he has an Oscar! I guess unique business cards DO work!

  76. LOVE IT! Those are super brilliant, a person has to be extremely creative. I was puzzled, is the first business card for BC Adventure made of beef jerky, it looks like the guy is trying to eat it. In any case I already want to sign up for survival training.
    Hard to pick a favorite really, they are all super clever and very original. I personally love business cards and always keep them. When I use to show horses I had a stack of about 100 from other horse breeders, and yes, I still have them.
    Great blog well done and entertaining.
