  6. I think the best would be to put your info on a condom, or plaster your info on the side of Used Cars. Cars are a great advertising mechanism and can be expensed.

    ‘Got Nate’- c’mon that ad campaign is ancient…

  8. Creative indeed.

    Melvin @ Melvin.net was first. Mitnick got permission from Melvin for his card as he wanted more information on the card.

    Wow, 2 of them from Vancouver! Do you live in Vancouver?

  13. To me, its overkill to do much more than be a basic business card with a creative touch. 1, 2, and 5 are my favorites.

  14. The dentist one is really neat.

    The TedEx one is pretty lame. It seems to be more of a rip-off of FedEx than an actual spoof. Now if it was Bill and Ted’s Excellent Music, I might see a spoof in the making.

    And Mitnick (and Melvin) clearly have the most interesting (and useful) cards.

  16. Well I wouldn’t call spoofing another logo as creative, but nice compilation you have here.

  17. Balloon is the obvious winner.

    I like the facebook one. :)

    Though i like the lockpicks, i feel it’s somewhat ironic that Mitnicks cell phone number was the only one blanked out, when the both the tools and his notoriety are based on invading security, and therefore privacy. I won’t say it’s hypocritical since i don’t know who did it on the pic

  20. nice!

  21. pretty cool, BTW Fedex might want to sue u for that card

  22. 22 blobster818

    Hey, those are great!!! My favourite one is the lock picking kit business card. It would be very useful. :)

  23. 23 wanycol

    cool

  24. 24 Peter Frank

    Hard thou getting the balloon-card thru the cardscan.. crap.. got stuck! :)

  25. 25 deuteranopia

    and thus a new age on the internet was heralded

    Do you believe in lockpicks. . .or balloons ?

  26. Kewl! those are the types of cards I keep on my desk.. creativity does pay! If not.. vent it here http://www.VentingPost.com

  27. i like break-out lock picking kit…nice idea

  28. Excellent.. i personally liked the balloon one.

  29. Very interesting

    For all those who don’t know, the FedEx logo is so cool because of the arrow (between the E and X) Once you see it, you will only notice the arrow when you see a FedEx truck rolling by.

  31. I like Mitnick’s!

  32. 33 baudday

    Cool. I like the facebook one the best.

  33. Wow those ARE very creative!

  34. Cool, I want to do one like a tea bag but so far have not found a printer to do it for me…it’s for PublissiTea… get it… aka publicity…

  35. Gotta like the punch out lockpicking kit. Pretty nice marketing

  36. 37 gocains

    the lock pick one would be really impressive.

  37. My favorite is Kevin Mitnick’s. I met him at a security conference, and have his business card lock pick set too.

  38. 39 mikister

    The lock picker can lose a lot of profit…

  39. very creative indeed …
    i don’t like the ballon … but i guess its a favorite for a lot of guys here …

  40. Interesting & creative!

  41. great stuff

  42. cool ideas!

  43. Dentist is awesome

  44. 45 Mila

    Yeah, I like Mitnick’s. He surely knows the business! Nice put.

  45. Wow, these are some of the best business cards I
    ‘ve ever seen :D

  46. 47 kensson

    Nice collection! I think I’d be annoyed to have the facebook one on my desk because I’d keep trying to refresh it ;)

  47. That Fed-Ex rip-off is lame as hell. Spoofing famous logos is not a clever idea.

  48. Creative!

  49. 50 Omar

    Wow. Nice stuff. I love the face book one. Do they have one for myspace? lol

    they’re all great but if i’ve to choose, i’ll vote for the balloon idea.
    i’m wondering if you know any unique handmade gifts ideas as well??

  52. Ha, what great cards! The dental bite one is not only cool, but it’s quite a challenge to make, unless you do them one at time, I guess.

    I’m not a big fan of the balloon one, as while it’s catchy, it only lasts so long…

    Good stuff!
