yeah, i have to agree with scarabin on that one.

- I know it's a long-ass thing to type (I hate doing it myself), but, frankly, I'm OK with that. Maybe I'll change my position in the future, but for the time being I'll give it a try. I'm one of those hybrids who code and design: I haven't quite figured out my niche, if it'll be one or the other or I'll find a happy place in between. I think that will come with more experience. The people I want to be associated with are other like-minded individuals or organizations who will compliment my own style. I like clean, contemporary design, and people who can appreciate a tongue placed firmly in cheek.
*Sorry, I also tend to go on...
- I'm trying to avoid printing info on both sides, I thought it made it messier than it needed to be.
- I thought about using a different face for the info (it looks much sharper printed, at least) so I'll be sure to give it a try. I also liked the colour combo but I'll play with that some more as well.
- Also currently wresting with my "onal" ;) I'll have some more to post in a while if y'all don't mind.

but just a little..
hah! you didnt saw that one coming!
- DutchBoy0
you defended yourself well on that one, welded.
good for you.

(oh yes do something about anal indeed... anal weapons on brownish bg is jsut weird..)

*ba-dump*
I like the grey Gill printed, it really pops off the background. My reasoning for choosing these three faces is I wanted some sort of humanist sans serif to compliment the Cooper. What do you think?

looks good with k/o'd type. and i see you've fixed the 'onal' problem, too...

8

Thanks, tny.
Ya, I hate to cheat a bit, but I don't think anybody'll really notice nor care. It doesn't say rim or anything like that now I hope.
- welded0
Eight without the redish text I'm guessing?
- tny0
that's my preference, and perhaps it's too safe...
- tny0
it's kinda of tough to see the screens int he png, you know... but i think k/o would be good in theory anyway
- welded0
How do you mean by too safe?
- tny0
well, i think that of the options you showed, the k/od type would probably be the eaiest to read, thats all..
- welded0
Oh, ya, I'm inclined to agree. I tried lots of different colours because it didn't seem like the best idea to go pure white, but, well, it gets ugly pretty easily. Do you like the Gill over TheSans or Optima? I don't really even like Optima much, it just met my criteria... I don't have a lot of type-driven designs so if my buisiness card is going to be, it might as well be pretty good.
- tny0
i like the gill much better
- scarabin0
you can be killed by non-conventional weapons though, right?
like a spoon?
- welded0
Excellent. It seems we're reaching a consensus - my mother likes eight, too. I really appreciate your time, tny!
