crit please - new biz card

Working on a new business card and would love some feedback.

I'd like to keep it consistent with the website, (10voltmedia dot com)
At the moment, I'm leaning more toward #2...

thanks

Very attractive. I was wondering what the little skulls represent - and then I recognised US electric sockets!

I don't see much of a difference between the two except for the sockets down below too. I like the first one better I think.

Margins/Size of 2nd, layout 1st.

Both Ok by the cityscape is overkill imo - is it meaningful in a way that your (potential) clients will understand?

Agree with limbo about layout margins etc. Also feel the cityscape doesn't add anything to it. The little bush on the front is OK but i like a bit of bush. he he

The second version has better balance on the front of the card,

but the back of the card in the first version feels.... right

Correct - just the bush placement, the socket on the back and some minor margins for the back type.

Yeah, check out the website - www 10voltmedia dot com. Trying to stick very close to that and stay consistent.

I'll reduce the cityscape, although I just noticed that it's size in the 1st layout is totally wacked. It's not supposed to butt up to the top, just got mucked up when I pasted it in for the jpg.

Here's a slightly revised version with the correct sizing/margins and a smaller skyline. Still too big or does this feel better?

I like the business card, but I'm not keen on the logo at all. Looks really amateur.

Thanks - but the logo is done and out there. Not something I'll be changing any time soon.

That's fair enough. Other than that then, I don't think there's much that can be improved. Ties in with the website nicely, I'd say it's done.
