Afternoon all

I'm after some advice on font selection for business cards.

I'm about to create some personal ones with name, e-mail address, mobile number, LinkedIn profile address to assist with my job hunting.

I'm going to be going to a number of recruitment fairs in the coming months and these cards will come in handy.

And yes, I know that Comic Sans is off limits.

Ta in advance.

It would help us if you told us what business you are in 🙂

Giddy Up always gives the right impression.

I'm in the Army and being made compulsorily redundant.

I'd like to avoid putting that info on the card.

Always get mine from vista print with standard font. 200 free at a time just about £2 for delivery.

I'd second a standard or off the peg Vista Print job if it's just going to be your contact details etc....

Comic Sans obviously.

Or Papyrus if you want to be really classy.

I'll second Comic Sans. Obviously with a rainbow gradient, bevel and drop shadow.

Mrs Toast can knock a classy card up with rainbows and ponies too.

And the bear. Never forget the bear.

Seeing as the obvious Comic Sans has been done, I'll suggest a serious one: Rotis Sans.

Inconsolata is my new fave. Though perhaps not for a business card.

@beamers

I'm about to create some personal ones with name, e-mail address, mobile number, LinkedIn profile address to assist with my job hunting.

And maybe the address of your personal website?

Wordpress could be useful for this, or you could create your own. Works for me: helps with the USP thing...

Have a look at http://uk.moo.com/products/business-cards.html
They've got some examples/templates you can play with to see what looks good and give you some ideas, even if you don't buy from them.
