These are some cards, front and back I came up with. Getting them printed up at 4by6.com.
Any feedback will help. I know you all don't hold back here at NT, and I love that! thanks in advance.

1st of all, 2 and 3 are out of the picture. They look like 2nd rate work. One is real tight though.
Think about the back. Why even print on it? It should have no info- keep that all on the front. thats my advice. Go off a little more on teh back

your text is probably too close to the edges.. its not gonna get chopped off or anything but if the trim is off 1/16" it might look a little uncomfortable.

I'd change the weight of your name and contact info...looks too light...and I don't like your name above the line and the contact info below it - looks unbalanced somewhat...

i agree with soler. it's nice to have something on the back, but there's no need to have any text on there. maybe not even the dp logo thing.

That typeface is not going to print well
you are cutting into the bleed
download a proper business card template
and get a book on grids

top one with only the logo in front and info on the back with no logo

if you do 2 sided, I would suggest all info on one side since it is minimal and keep it clean and legible. then I would do the enlarged logo and design on the other side.
I also would suggest to not bleed the logo at all or crop it more, right now it looks like a mistake. (I am referenceing the top 2)

dp= double penetration?

mango, I'd think maybe about switching up the typeface on your name. Put it in something more basic or darker. Even arial is fine. You don't want to overdesign it. Simple is better in my book. I know you're big into all kinds of intricate sh*t.
It's a good design, but somehow the three colors together don't do it for me. Maybe take out the powder blue and go with a greenish-blue and red.
I'll ring you later. Nice work at any rate! :)

if youre going to put shit on the back, i would limit it to your email, address, contact info. leave your name and creative name on the front so it's easy to remember.

- number 1. by far.
- get rid of that horizontal red line if you can live without it.
-place all text at the 45° angle that you have at the back.

hang on a linute...where is the front and back here. Maybe he should leave the front and put it all on the back. just leave the front blank and put it all on the back
