jenacolson Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 We've just developed a new website (www.weddingsbyvantage.com) and I'm designing a business card for our updated look. Which one would you choose? Thanks everyone for your input! Jena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenacolson Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share Posted March 17, 2007 Option 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenacolson Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share Posted March 17, 2007 Sorry Mary, I'm sure this is the wrong way to upload these three images... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beth_dill Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I think I like option 1 best. I'm not overly fond of option 2. Option 3 is good too, I don't like the back as well on it as option 1 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_mccarthy3 Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I'm a little more partial to option one - I am fond of the panoramic look. That might be a bit catchier, as panoramics aren't normally associated with wedding work. People have also been seeing a lot more of the "widescreen" look in commercials, and on DVD's, so it may play nicely to that trend. Option two does have a nice dynamic, with that motion look, however. I don't like the placement of the graphic with the image on #3 - it's better served with your text info. I'm not all that fond of the photo ( the hands look a bit awkward - like he wants to grab a bit lower..... ) but again, that is a personal preference. I don't think you could go wrong with #1 or #2.

annealmasy Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I like the second one. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looked to me like #1 wasn't a panoramic; just two images side-by-side. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ni_gentry Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I like #3<p> One comment I have is that I think it's confusing that your website URL is www.weddingsbyvantage.com while your email domain is vantagephotography.com You should keep things as simple and easy to remember for everyone. Also the first thought that came into mind was <i>vintage</i> not vantage which some people might not understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoneguy Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I thought it said vintage. I like #1 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primeimages Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I'd go for Option #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Michael Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Prima facie: None. But, taking the six halves, the reverse of Option 1 (five people), and the obverse of Option 2. (Black) Rationale: 1. The reverse of option 1 is the most inclusive image that whilst still appealing to the Bride, usually the most emotive decision maker, also includes the family, and presumably the Mother of the Bride, who often is the decision maker. 2. The Obverse of Option 2 is the strongest of the three options shown. > I'm designing a business card for our updated look. < If your look is, in fact, to be `updated`, an image of your current business card for comparison might be useful as would a list of the key business changes this new card is to reflect.

Upon first reading the post, my mind read `vintage` and even though I re-read `vantage` the `vintage` thought was reinforced in my mind upon seeing the dominate Black and White of the business cards. As it was a `choice` question, and I did not want bias in my answer, I only read the others` responses until after I had posted my choice. Hence this, my second comment.

elnoralouisa Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Oh, gee, I thought too it was Vintage. Ok, I'm stupid, (and I know I could look it up...but...what's Vantage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elnoralouisa Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Oh, I like 1 and 3, even though not crazy about the colors (or lack thereof). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gluteal cleft Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 #3 looks like she's getting accosted/groped to me. I like #2 myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conraderb Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 option 2 is much better than the others, IMHO. option 3 is the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elnoralouisa Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I don't like 2 because it is blurry. I realize it is supposed to be that way, but would the general public look at it that way. So...when is someone going to tell me what Vantage is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenacolson Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 Thanks for the feedback everyone. For those of you confused on "Vantage": Vantage, as in vantage point. (i.e. "From my vantage point.") The name isn't changing, though, regardless of the feedback on this thread. It's the business that we've built and people around here don't seem to have too much trouble reading it...or, at least, it hasn't kept us from bringing in business. :) I'm still playing around with different options, in light of folks' comments. Here's another option for the front... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenacolson Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 And one more. I promise this'll be the last, Mary. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenacolson Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 Sorry if that last comment sounded snarky (about the name Vantage). I didn't mean for it to sound that way, but I think re-reading it, it sounds a little...snarky. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ni_gentry Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 So why www.weddingsbyvantage.com instead of www.vantagephotography.com ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen dohring Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Overall the cards are very bold and masculine, I don't really like any of them as a whole but the BC6 front is may favorite maybe with a different dress back, that one has great curves and a good style for the card but I am thinking mummy, more than bride. I really like the V and P being in different text color. The curves of BC6 and the text are getting closer. The other pics seem to get lost in the hair being black.... I got vantage though.

mamessner Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Ni, We already have a site at www.vantagephotography.com for our commercial/fashion/portrait work and didn't want to change it. The idea with weddingsbyvantage.com is that "Vantage Photography" as a business is more than weddings, but for our brides and grooms we wanted a specialized site. Point taken on the info@vantagephotography.com instead of info@weddingsbyvantage.com. We've been debating changing that... Jena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
