i'm designing new cards.
just so there's no confusion, the hand symbol is my personal logo (it symbolizes the sacredness of body and action and the pervasiveness of the artist's influence in the world), and the little flower thing is just an ornament.
i'm leaning toward 4. which do you prefer?

these will be printed 4/4 with a satin finish

i like 1.
thay are all real nice tho
that hand seriously freaks me out

I like #2. I don't see the need for the ornament.

Seriously though, you site and cards are pretty scary. Are you going after a certain niche for a client base?

Are you the guy that does all the swedish death metal band logos?
- -scarabin-0
i do entertainment design and specialize with a darkish sort of look.
movie posters, video game stuff, mostly. occasional bands and cd packaging.

Thise death metal guys Probably don't pay very good anyway..you'd get what a few litres of blood and a goat's head or something..or a virgins nipple I suppose...

two or four... the red type underneath your name looks too crowded. Perhaps a bit more breathing room would be nice.

i like 4.. but also thinking a combo of 1 and 3 would be nice too...
- front as per #1
- back as per #3.. except scale the logo down to a size closer to the circle icon in #1.my reason.. side by side #4 looks good... but if consider looking at one side then flipping to the other its confusing as to which mark is your primary logo.

are you gonna try to have the center slightly "lit up" like it looks online? I think it really lends itself well to the card.

like this one horton? (5)
and yeah, i have the edges darkened a little. i think subtle shifts in color like that look good with a satin finish.

curious, why are you going 4 color?
on the back black, i'd pick a rich pms black and double bump that bitch. and you can get away with 3 colors on the front.
all solids. no tints or cmyk dots.

well i'm using 4by6.com and they apparently only support 4/1 and 4/4
the lighter color on the front isn't white, it's the creamy tan that's on the other side
