Creating Your Customized Business Cards

Congratulations on all the progress you’ve made so far! Now that you have a professional logo, website, domain name and business email, let’s put it all together by creating business cards. Handing someone a well-designed and professionally printed business card is still essential for small businesses in leaving a positive first impression.

If you are a LOGO Pro subscriber, your business card templates will be ready for you to customize and print!

To access your business card templates:

1. Log into your dashboard
2. Navigate to the top menu and click on "Marketing" > "Business Cards"

You'll have two options here – either choose a template or unleash your creativity by crafting a design from scratch.

If you filled your Brand Details from day one, you'll find these templates already tailored to your basic information.

Choosing a template will transition you to Stitch – our bespoke design tool. Here, you can effortlessly modify text, colors, and elements of your business card. Select the element you wish to customize, and watch the corresponding editing options in the top bar.

On your left-hand menu, you’ll see:

Elements: This section includes shapes, photos, and masks to incorporate into your design. Click 'See more' to explore all available options.

Brand Assets: Your logo and font files reside here. If you fancy a different version of your logo, simply choose it from this menu.

Text: Add custom text, such as a website link or a quirky tagline, by typing it in the box and clicking 'Add'. The text will seamlessly integrate into your design.

Uploads: If you wish to include your own images or graphics, utilize the uploads feature.

Make all the edits you need, and once you're satisfied, click 'Save' at the top. Your design is now stored on your dashboard under ‘My saved projects’ for future edits. If you're ready to print the cards, click 'Download' in the top-right corner and select the preferred file format – PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, or PDF.

Once you have the file, you can take it to your closest print shop and get them printed. LOGO.com does not offer printing services.

Now, let's ensure your business cards align with best practices:

Best practices to be mindful of when designing business cards

• Opt for a clean and simple design to ensure clarity and readability.
• Place key contact details prominently, such as your name, website, and email address.
• Select easy-to-read fonts to enhance readability, avoiding overly decorative or complex styles.
• Add sufficient white space to prevent overcrowding and maintain a professional look.
• Align your business card design with your brand colors, logo, and overall visual identity.
• If relevant, add social media icons and handles to connect with your customers.
• Maximize space by using both sides of the business card for adding extra information.
• Invest in quality printing to ensure colors are vibrant, and text is sharp for a polished appearance.
• Integrate a unique element, like a tagline, to make your card memorable.
• Double-check for typos and errors.
