Business Card Designs

The chairman of the board is a prestigious position that commands respect and conveys confidence and experience. Whether its unpaid chairman of the non profit or the head of a large for profit company, the chairman’s position requires a stylish business card that sets the right tone and exudes professionalism.

When it comes to designing the chairman of the board’s business card use restraint and think simple and elegant. Just because someone holds a higher position in a company it does not mean that they need a flashier, glitzier business card; just the opposite in fact. Restraint and simple wording give a quiet sophistication to a business card. Think carefully about what must be included and what is surplus to requirements.

The three color rule is an absolute must for the chairman of the board business card. Two colors would be even better if this is possible. Black and white, cream and brown, gray and navy blue and tan and black are effective combinations for the leader’s business card. Choose the main color of the corporate logo and combine that with a contrasting color.

The choice of card is very important to the chairman of the board’s business card. The card cannot be cheap, glossy, thin or easy to tear. Take care to choose a card stock that has weight and presence with a smooth or appropriately textured finish.

Consider engraved printing for your chairman of the board business card. This usually costs a little more than the regular laser printed business card but the finished effect is worth the money. The engraved business card is a little more expensive but actually looks a lot more expensive. It indicates an attention to detail and an understanding of what looks good without being over the top.

The chairman of the board does not leave a pile of business cards at neighboring businesses or even at the reception of fellow non profits. The chairman of the board business cards spend their lives inside the custom business card holder until passed to a new friend or client with discretion and little fanfare. The chairman of the board business card exudes simplicity, finery and confidence.
