+ your small text should just be 100% black (no CMY) to ensure its crisp.
your bigger script name could go either way.. you can also do a reverse of the rich black trap to make sure it prints crisp.
the red should be easy to get rich with something like 0-100-90-10.. depending on the hue you want.

it's pretty much all been said, but here goes/
type issues:
need some space between your name & art and design.i agree with the comments about centered type and all caps url.
also the "rw" letter pairing looks a little too tight. maybe kern it out a tad bit. maybe "or" as well. same goes for the "esi" in design.
as far as general stuff goes, maybe a more "ornamental" rule below the "logo" and contact info.
also, have you tried having the mark on the contact size being a reverse of the knocked out one on the front (#5); i.e. same size, placement? might work out nicely.

your reversed logo suggestion looks really good jpolk. (#6) also, i'll adjust my kerning before export.

Right now I see only 4 remaining choices. I lean towards number 2, with the website in caps. Maybe repeat the logo on side with the text, but tint it like a very light muted greyish green. Place it in the upper area, and bring the rest of the copy down. Then hand over your design to satan.

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

why are you printing them 4/4?... it looks like a 2/1 job to me.
solid fields printed 4col end up looking like shit.

respect to scarabin though for sticking to the type of work he wants to do.
