Confuses me, the heavy equipment and the bobcat thing don't fit in. THey might fit in if you promoted "from clearing your new lot to building your dream house".

Not bad. A tetch too busy maybe (yes there is such a word).
Also, I'd put "building your dreams "For" a better tomorrow.
Otherwise not bad

He's right. The Bobcat logo is completely out of place

Bob, if the images are seen first then you see the bobcat thingy that looks like a raccoon, a big dump truck and a house.

What do these 3 images create of picture of in your mind? I see raccoons getting into my house and Bob putting my house in a dump truck and driving away at a high rate of speed while throwing beer bottles out the windows. Ok, so the average person might not see it like I see it. Take 10 people and put it in front of them for 3 seconds and ask them what trade(s) you offer.

How about a nice full color image from your web-site?

Great..... The card works.

I'd sure hate to give the wrong impression.

I just went to your web-site, I've been there before, nice pic's. You guys offer a whole bunch of different projects. You're little dump truck icon is there also, you must be proud of it? I am not sure how you could get across all the stuff that you offer on a single business card.
Maybe a two sided one with a list on the back? I would focus on a single theme or maybe 2 themes for the front. Like "fine woodworking and installation of museum grade stripper poles".

I think it's a little (a lot) too busy. Your eye doesn't know where to go first since every element is "screaming".

In my old life I was a graphic designer.

If you email me a copy of your logo and contact info, I will layout a card for you to check out. I would post mine here, but am VERY VERY leary of putting anything like that in a public place.

As it is, I'm suprised at how many people are able to track me down just based on my sig pic.

What are you hiding from Greg?

Is there a reward?

Bob,

I see you have a website. I don't see that listed on your business card. That's like Rule #1 for anyone who gets a website... make sure its on your business card!

Otherwise, I hate to say it, but I agree with everyone here.

However, in its current state, it gets the job done. But there is always room for improvement.

Good Luck!

Bob, with all due respect. You build houses. You probably do it well. Hire a graphic designer to do a card for you, its cheap and thats what they do.

Here is mine on Keith Bruce's site (I've since had it updated). He can do a one sided design for you for $85. I recommend a two sided so you can get all you wanted on it and that might be an extra twenty bucks.

Black helicopters follow me everywhere...

Seriously, I don't want potential or current customers reading posts where I bitch and moan online about the particular dilemma of the day.

However, thanks to google, people find our threads on whatever the topic may be, read a post and track me down since I guess I "appear" to be knowledgable.

I probably did $75k gross in 2006 based on people who found me somehow through CT.com. Go figure.

Glasshousebltr,
Since I joined I've been curious as to how you came up with your name. At first I thought you built glass houses. So what's the story?
Please don't take offense but I am into how companies promote themselves and the strategies behind them. I learn that way.

jproffer

If memory serves, his last name is Glass, but I could be wrong.

In the 80s I built glass room additions for a few years. I think I've built about 5 or 6 hundred. Any how, I was hoping to get back into it however the demand isn't anything like it used to be. The name just kinda stuck like a peanut butter sandwich.

Pedantic, I know, but that "dump truck" on your card looks like a haul truck for a rock quarry. Not even street legal.
