This is not the first time we are talking about Business cards on this blog. After all business cards have an important role to play in a business. They in a way reflect the core of the business. Gone are  the days when business cards used  to be simple and monotonous. Creativity has spread its wing on the too. Here are some cool examples of business cards which do not reflect the business but create a fun element too.

Business cards are imoprtant as they carry the contact details, they act as a bridge for communication. So they must be clear enough and need not to be larger than life, but shifting away from the conventions and adding a little fun to them does no harm. Infact, an innovative design can help to create a positive impression on clients. Who knows it may actually increase the number of visitors.

It doesn't matter if you have the most amazing design for your business cards, the best paper, and the latest pocket technology – if your wording isn't right, you can't expect people to get in touch.

Striking the right balance between white space and information can be tricky: the decision to keep something on a card isn't one taken lightly. Keep in mind that business cards should always look crisp and clean, something that white space helps emphasise. Don't be afraid to be different: if you use Twitter more than a phone, print your handle, not your number.

Business cards are not only handy in remembering someone's contact details and information but they also reflect a lot about the person it belongs to.

For example, if you're a comedian your business card would be colorful or would we filled with witty punchlines or be like the one on the left. This business card belongs to comedian and actor Steve Martin and is totally A-W-E-S-O-M-E, isn't it?

One problem that many of us face is to select the perfect layout and design for one's own business card. We all need examples so therefore, we decided to compile a list of business cards from some of the most successful people in the world, for your reference.

Recently, one of my friends showed me this really cool business card that inspired me to do the part III of our Business cards post.

The best thing about a business card is that it not only helps you remember the contact details of important people but  also helps you start a hobby - collecting business cards and I bet many of us are doing it, without even knowing that.

Here are some unique business cards collected from all over the internet. Have a look:

The elections  are over, Mr.Obama got re-elected, the fiscal cliff bill was tabled! That's enough political hooplah for the New Year to begin with.

If most of us thought that 2013 hasn't done anything utilitarian so far, just wait till you read this.
