Great idea, Brian, and thanks for including my own card here.
David Airey’s last blog post..Logo design for Dosh Dosh
It is really a wonderful site to look into. So many pieces of work are in display.
The logodesigns inDavid Airey’s website are great. I hope to see some more colorful designs in his portfolio soon.
Great job. Keep it up.
I will add mine once I get back to my workstation. I will also write a side blog post about this now
Good idea. Maybe a flickr pool too?

Hi, Brian -
Great idea. Love seeing other folks’ creative ideas and since I’m sitting at bloggers conference (SOBCon 2008) right now, and so many of us are on Twitter, I’ve twittered this URL.
I’ve sent you my link via email.
Tammy Lenski’s last blog post..3 simple tricks to calm down during disagreements
Yeah…this is a great idea. I’ve emailed you my business card!
Yeah, a flickr pool sounds like it could be cool
Tammy,
Very cool, thanks for the twitter message. I’ve finally given in to joining twitter so I haven’t got many followers yet!
Hope you are enjoying SOBCon! Relevant to this post, as I wonder if many bloggers are handing out business cards?!
Hi again, Brian -
LOTS of biz cards being exchanged here at SOBCon. And some very cool ones. I’ve told folks to check out your post!
Tammy Lenski’s last blog post..3 simple tricks to calm down during disagreements
Thanks for visiting, your card is on there now
Tammy,
I imagine there may be a post from someone after SOBCon with a picture of the pile of business cards they collect from it!
Brian -
Yes, I just saw someone take a photo of my card to post. There are two places that are capturing who’s doing what:

and

Brian,
I think I followed all the requirements. My email’s on its way to you. (Thanks Jacob, for mentioning this!)
I can hardly wait to see how many cards you get. What a fun idea!
Regards,
Kelly

Great, thanks for the great post you did and for emailing! Your card has been added! Thanks to Jacob also for spreading the word, nice link on his sideblog will help a lot
Great idea, Brian! I love browsing through all types of designs … And while there are a lot of business card sites and/or blog posts out there, your “of bloggers” bit is a nice twist. Keep up the great work.
rob’s last blog post..Shameless Self Promotion
Hi,
Excellent blog - I really appreciate your blog about “Business Cards of Bloggers”, I have bookmarked it for later viewing and forwarded it on.
Cheers.
Brian,
Glad you liked my post. I had to be kind of fun with it, as I recently answered a challenge from a friend that was also rather self-promotional (link in the post I did for you—it’s a good challenge). You’ll have the last laugh, though, because I suspect this is going to take off!
Regards,
Kelly
Kelly’s last blog post..Brand Propheteers: Part Two Is Tricky
Hi Brian,
This looks like a runner! Thanks for including mine here with a link.
Rob Cubbon’s last blog post..Simple design idea for corporate marketing
Yeah, I thought it would be fun to see everyone’s cards. I figured most bloggers are involved with a company, or work for themselves, so really everyone is going to have a card of some sort!
Also, my website here has been ranked pretty well on Google lately along with a PR 4, so I thought I would give some of that link juice back to the people that have helped get this blog off the ground.
Thanks for your addition.
Nancy,
Thanks for your comment.
Kelly,
I did see that previous challenge you did, and thought it was quite interesting. When I started this blog, the finishing touch on the layout was the big “Brian Joseph Studios” graphic at the top right!
Hey Rob,
You know, when I started creating this post…meme… (whatever it should be called!), I wanted to display a few cards right away. So, I went on the hunt for business cards of the blogs that I read, and all that I could find was David Airey’s and yours.
I didn’t really search too hard, but it did make this post all the more purposeful so that we could display everyone’s cards and get them out there. My goal for this post is to have so many participants and visitors that my website crashes one day! That’s always a good sign when starting a website! haha
Hey Brian, thanks for including me in your business card bash. I’m looking forward to seeing who else gets included.
(And I see David had two cards listed - his own and Tammy’s. Good going David!)
Catherine Morley’s last blog post..Brian Yerkes: Business Cards of Bloggers
Brian, thanks for the add, I really appreciate it. Best of luck with the project, I hope to see an entire site full of cards in the near future.

Thanks for including my card in your collection!

Brian, Thanks for the add, great idea. It’s fascinating to see the wide variety and creativity that appear in the cards. Some very creative folks out there on the blogosphere!
Tim

Thanks for featuring me on Designers Who Blog! Great traffic!

Tom, Jeff, Tim, and Randiss,
Thanks for adding your cards! Hopefully it will grow steadily!
Brian,
Glad to be of some help
cat’s last blog post..23PSI. Law. Marketing. Tshirts. All.
I just sent you my new card design and the two post where I linked to your blog. Yes, I believe if you have a blog and a business card, you should add a link to your blog. Business cards are a means of advertising.
Great idea!!! I love these business cards collections online. Really inspiring! I’ll tell our clients about it.
Regards,
Isabella
Hi, like the idea! Just added a post at my blog about it. Thank you for taking a look.
Sander’s last blog post..Business Card Design
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this–I especially like the card that looks like a Monopoly Railroad deed, very unique and memorable!
LuckyGirl’s last blog post..My Latest Kumihimo Necklace
Thanks for sharing this. After reading the entire post I do feel like bloggers do really need a business card. I’m gonna design my own business card now.
Kevin’s last blog post..Entrecard released its official eBook and offers 2 awesome contests?
We, bloggers need business card to let others know about us more. Is a new age fever now.
Jimy Wong’s last blog post..Pay Per Post Tragedy
Brian//fun idea. Looking forward to your collection. //andrea
Wow what a cool idea! Unfortunately I’ve gone off my current business cards so will leave it for the moment. It’s funny to see David Airey and Jacob Cass getting in so early!
Nathan Beck’s last blog post..Increasing and maintaining blog traffic
Hi Brian,
I’ve posted mine on my blog as well (click my name).
Mark
Nice post here, Its good to see well designed business cards, I would love to be added to this, but I have yet to design my business cards, its something I have needed doing for a while, but have never got round to it yet.
Craig Farrall’s last blog post..The Carsonified Golden Ticket.
I can never get enough of business card collections… nice one
No worries, feel free to send it along when you re-do it!
Mark,
Thanks, it’s on there now
Craig,
Send it when ready!
Rajesh,
Thanks, yours in on there now
I’ve been waiting to finally get to participate in this! Great idea, btw - I love looking at everyone else’s cards.
Here’s my post (jpg of cards on the way)

Thanks!
Selene M. Bowlby’s last blog post..It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month - Go Pink for October
Hi Brian,
I came to grab the URL for this post and recommend you to a friend today, and I noticed that my card is from before I switched the blog to WordPress which means those MCE Blog links aren’t working anymore!
I’ll have to get you photos of the revised card to put up. In the meantime, I took a look through everyone’s cards again—this is getting to be such a nice grouping! (Selene—I love that card!) I still recommend people come look and submit all the time.
Regards,
Kelly

These are a great bunch of cards. It’s always fun to see the different styles.
I have a post on my blog with my cards (and they’re also on my flickr stream).

Too late to request a critique / addition?
http://www.laffing-horse.com/grafx/biz-card-1108.jpg
I’m no longer a designer by profession, as you’ll see when you look at my card. And my card may violate every current design law.
The cards above are all quite nice, but at least 2 violate laws I learned when practicing.
Ah, well, laws change and old dogs new tricks, right?
Amazing Work,, You guys Rock - I need some inspiration for my designs
Business Cards
Business cards can be used for a lot more than just contact information. Giving out special coupon codes also help.
Small Business Help’s last blog post..How to Autoformat an Excel Spreadsheet Instantly
Great round up. Very vibrant colors. These business cards look alive.
Yet another reason why I need to start a blog!
NOW! lol
I’m so lazy!
Some great cards here! I just received my new cards last Friday, so they’re now up on my site with a link here.
I emailed you a picture and a link to the post, and will get on writing a full blog about this soon.
Keep the creative juices flowing guys and gals.
