Jason, it appers that each card even has different subline to your name. What do they read?

Love the card, just like I love your blog design(s). Keep up the good work, great job!

this is fabulous. equal part mystery, equal part over the top self promotion. i can imagine the obscured letterforms would be beautiful on each card when in hand. i want one (or eight).

These have actually worked out very well for me as business cards. Something that might not be clear from the photo is that these are 8 different cards. I printed my name large across the sheet of paper, but when they are cut down, the red letterforms just create a night abstract hint of a letter. So, while I agree that having my name large across all of them would be vain, the receivers only see a small portion of it. They read just fine in person and I’ve been using them for the past couple of years.

i agree with the above comments, this is an exercise in vanity rather than well thought out design.

I like the idea, though it could have been thought a bit further. Now the red color pushes up / or hides information that is irrelevant or important. But the idea is cool

Interesting and well played out, but I am not sold on the concept functionality as a business card.

Right on. Feels like Pokemon. Gotta catch ‘em all.
