A great brand identity can be seen in everything that a brand does – from the product they’ve built, to the website that promotes it all the way down to the business cards for the employees. A well-designed brand identity is something to be proud of, and the very act of giving someone a business card that’s in keeping with that design helps to build that image of one cohesive brand identity.

It’s hard to ignore a beautifully designed business card. A card that looks good, and feels good, can make you stop and pause – and it helps to make you look more professional. I find that designers often have the best business cards around – simply because if they’ve designed it themselves, it’s a great opportunity for them to show off the work they can do for clients too. I’ve collected some fresh, interesting and creative examples of business cards. These designs all look professional and help to give the brand an identity. They stand out from standard cards by having something interesting or different about them – whether it’s a creative use of a logo, the use of letterpress to adjust the texture and feel of the card or even a bold design choice by going all monotone, these cards have been crafted with care, attention and thought. I hope you find this collection a useful source of inspiration, and if you know of any other business card designs that deserve a mention, I’d love to hear about them in the comments.
