I'm open to font choice. The format for the phone numbers can be any of the following depending on how it looks. Personally, I like the periods (.) ... ###.###.#### (###) ###-#### ###-###-#### I'm also open as to whether it's horizontal or vertical. I've been thinking that it might be best that a vertical look might work best and look best...

    For the letterhead _bottom_, I forgot to mention that the separation between the white area and the blue background should be _straight_... Not wavy/contoured/swoosh like the top. Thanks!!!

    For those confused, what is meant by the "swoosh" is the wavy effect between the blue background and the main areas.

    FYI, we have another project immediately after this one for some marketing collateral. Thanks!

    Cards Front of card 1) Logo and company name in upper-left. 2) Name and title below logo and company name on left side. Color for the name perhaps either as a blue or white. Color for the title as something slightly dimmer than the name – Just so the name stands out more than the title. Perhaps a yellow-ish color to reflect the same color as in the logo. 3) The icons should be present for all contact information. Please use dots (.) within phone numbers. Here is the contact info again: a. Name: Gregg Graubins b. Title: Senior Consultant c. Email: ggraubins@uberstep.com d. Phone: 630.454.7000 e. Fax: 847.346.1933 f. Address: 1333 W. Devon Avenue, Suite 320, Chicago, Illinois 60660 g. Web site: www.uberstep.com 4) “Swoosh” effect from bottom left to slightly below top right 5) A mixture of the logo colors on the top portion of the swoosh effect. Perhaps either solid colors or a gradient (from left to right or from left/right to the center) of the yellow-red. The blue theme background will be dominant on the underside of the swoosh effect. 6) Within the blue theme separation on the bottom-left is where the contact information will go. Please put personal contact information first and then the company address below with a separator line. Back of card Since we might need some sort of writing space when handing out cards, we’d like the back side with the blue background theme. Perhaps with a lens flare effect in the center. We like a gray tinted copy of the logo somewhere towards the right side; zoomed in perhaps. The company name on the bottom-left and the web site address underneath is a good look – Please make this white. Letterhead Since there may be multiple pages when sending out a letter correspondence, we should be able to print page numbers at the bottom of each page. So, we’d like the following: 1) Company logo, name, contact information, and web site address on the top within a blue themed background. 2) There should be a slight “swoosh” effect separating the top portion from the white area where the letter will be written. Between the blue and the white area there should be similar colors as to those on the business card – With the other colors of the logo. It should be consistent with the cards. 3) On the bottom of the page, there should be a blue-themed background. Between this background and the white space above, the use of the colors from the logo should also be used. This should be similar to that above (between the company info and white area). This area will allow us to put a page number in the blue area. Fax cover page This is similar to the letterhead. 1) The top portion should be the blue theme and the swoosh effect just like in the letterhead. 2) Between the blue background separation and the white space should include the other logo colors just like in the letterhead. 3) The standard fax cover letter information below in the white space. Envelopes This is somewhat similar to the letterhead as well and very straight forward. Front of envelope 1) On the top portion of the envelope there should be a blue background along with the use of the colors separating the top from the white space. 2) Within this blue background, on the left side, should have the company logo and address. Back of envelope 1) The flap should be blue background. 2) Company logo in middle of flap with web site address.

    Thanks for everyone submissions! We've had much discussion and have finalized what the look should be overall -- for cards & stationery. Here they are...

    Thank you for all your submissions! Every one looks very crisp and professional. For the business cards, here are some thoughts and some things I noticed while viewing the drafts... 1) If there is a separation between the logo and contact information, there needs to be enough room for names that are potentially longer than what I originally submitted for. 2) I like the blue background theme, e.g. in draft #80 3) I like having the icons next to the phone numbers, web site, and email 4) I like the rounded borders, but harder to find a printer having this in stock. So, I'm opting for rectangular cards. Besides, if I find a printer having the rounded, the image should still fit within the print anyways. It's hard to determine whether I like the black background or the white without seeing the full set of stationery along with it. (Please do keep in mind this is for business cards and a stationery set) I know I will probably like some white space _somewhere_ (whether it be on the front or back) because sometimes you need to have a writing area when you hand your cards out; black ink on black would not be readable. :) I'm waiting some feedback from some others I've asked for their opinions and will be sure to get back writing some additional comments and ratings hopefully by tomorrow (Saturday). Thanks!

    I've taken a look at some other business card projects on here and come to think of it a horizontal card might look good too. So I'm open to either. :) I was thinking the back of the card might look good in a solid color and the logo. Being a new start-up, I haven't put together a definitive "theme color" for the company yet.
