Our new business card
Posted on 09. Apr, 2009 by Jonathan Cherry in Design
Inspirational business card design idea from Japanese designer Ji Lee. You can download the template and print your own 'Google me' card here.
We're going to have ours mocked up and printed out in two shakes of a lamb's tail.
Final result should look something like this:

pardon me but that’s a stoopid idea.
business cards have to have relevant contact info on them. We KNOW that you’re on the internet, that goes without saying and it’s a bit rude to just say “google me” to a person who wants your details.
business cards are so that your contact details are in someone’s little pile of business cards, so when they want a business they’ll go to their business cards. You don’t WANT people going to google. Because then they’ll find out about your competition.

Thanks Brent. See you point, but at the same time the numbers of optional communication channels that we’re building up these days is calling for a more flexible solution.
Some people make use of the cellphone VCard as a business card option [which certainly can't sit in a pile on a desk] while others prefer a Linkin account to maintain their networks.
We’re not suggesting that the ‘Google Me’ card will replace the traditional Rolodex info option, but we thought it a fun and different take on what you’d expect.
That’s how we roll over here.
If we were worried about our competition, we wouldn’t have them all on speed dial.

I think the card is simple, yet pretty cool.
Since you rank in several of the top spots for that query I don’t think it is that bad of an idea.

You should show enough confidence to either remove the “Google search” button (leaving only the “I feel lucky” button) or at least put a mouse-pointer over “I feel lucky” like I did on http://stefan.waidele.info/bilder/google-visitenkarte.png
Especially if you put your own brandname into the searchbox.
