Ideas for Minimalistic Business cards – inspiration for design, visual identity and branding
16 Nov
My designer-friend collected over the years this entire look-book of awesome designs, inspiration for design, visual identity and branding. I am amazed how many amazing and well designed business cards and identities there are here.
I am so sorry I can’t credit the designers of these, so if you are one of the designers or creators of one of these, please write me in the comments and I will make sure to credit you. Thanks so much.
There are so many variants that make a great business card stand out. I have created a list of typical things I think can make a big difference:
- Papertype (organic, white, coloured)
- Thickness of the paper
- Paper glued together to get a thicker quality or an edge with a color
- Coloured edges
- Coating on top of the paper
- Embossed paper with a logo or similar
- UV fernis
- Spot UV fernis
- Metallic overlay print
- Cutouts
- Original shapes of the paper
- Foldable cards
- Origami cards
- Other material cards than paper (plastic, wood or metal)
- Foil instead of print
