Love the simplicity, and the orange rectangle with your mark on the right. At the same time, why go so small with the type? Your name certainly stands out first, but tiny type is harder to read and you've got plenty of white space here.
Loving the new branding direction you're taking, David. I've always thought your logo mark was great, but this added use with the orange rectangle is delectable. What are your thoughts for the backside, though? I see you have lines back there, but I'm curious what you're planning to do there? A single sided card printed on a beautiful card stock could be really effective.
@Joshua that is a great suggestion and will be considering it!
@Patrick this is a good point. I am currently using 9 point Helvetica for now but this could change in the future.
@Paul this is a really great point. It is funny but this seems to be an export issue - if the text is outlined in Illustrator it works great.
@Natan and Pat regarding the lines on the back, usually when I meet a client in a say a coffee shop my business card quickly becomes where they right down some quick notes on the project or interesting links so I wanted to provide a solution for this.
If you or the potential client will be writing on the back of the card, it will be hard to write if the indention pushes through the other side of the paper. You could always have a very light impression, but it may be more beneficial to have a single emboss on your mark?

... as long as its not missing any pertinent information, it can never be too simple.
Great work!

The simplicity would lend itself rather well to letterpress...

I love the simplicity, but I think lining figures would look better for the phone number.

Not a bad idea at all but I'd make them way more subtle.

I agree Natan. I think this is where something like letterpress would come in handy.

I like it. Would need to better see the other side, though...

A shot of my new cards.
If anyone can recommend a good iPhone camera app to help get sharp text, don't hesitate ;^)
