Gah, accidentally clicked elsewhere and lost my long ramble :P

I didn't mean I felt the title was trying to be a logo, merely that accidentally it had become one, it feels like a separate style to everything else on the card, it feels like there are two business cards on the same card.

I'd try two alt options:

1) You set all the text on the card in the same style and way as the title, and have the logo offset to a right angle of a grid around that block of information

2) You keep elements as they are (though that type still needs a lot of work, maybe its just the font, but it looks like how PC Illustrator renders some fonts before outlining or being pasted into something else) and align them all to a grid formation, so that they all feel like they belong together.


And personally I've never seen a title be kept away from everything else in this way... Yes a designer's role can be to learn the rules then break them, and then there's the rules which really should just be left alone because its information design, as it is currently I'd probably expect that title to exist on one side, and the rest to appear on the reverse.

Just need to make a tonne of options and filter through
