Stuck in a (business card) design rut?
August 2010, by Rebeka | 3 Comments – latest by DeniseWe received such a positive response from our MOO Ideas Book, that we launched The Business Card Project to help inspire small businesses with a business card design inspiration gallery of their own. Since we launched the project back in June, we’ve tackled hundreds of redesigns spanning a range of industries from healthcare to consulting and entertainment to retail. No matter what industry you’re in, there’s really no excuse for boring business cards. And as they say, ‘the proof is in the pudding’, so here we go!
Mobile Libations, a cocktail catering company in San Francisco, benefited from a $500-share of our $250,000 design investment. We took their wonderful collection of cocktail shots and turned their black & …Continue reading this article…

The Business Card Project: New redesigns are up!
July 2010, by Rebeka | Add a commentIt’s been almost two weeks since we officially launched The Business Card Project and our designers have been working hard to rid the world of boring business cards. We’ve received hundreds of applications, so many thanks to all those who’ve applied for a redesign–you’re keeping our designers nice and busy!
Since we’re a couple weeks into the contest, we thought this would be the perfect time to share some of our favorite makeovers. Loads of new designs have been added to the Gallery, but one of our personal favorites here at MOO HQ is a redesign for a company called Downtown Custom Printwear.
Downtown Custom Printwear is a screen-printing and embroidery shop …Continue reading this article…

Introducing: The Business Card Project
June 2010, by Rebeka | 3 Comments – latest by jane nearingIf you’ve been following this blog for a while or met any of us in person, you probably know we’re passionate about design. That’s why we take great care and effort designing products, packaging and even our website to ensure anyone can easily create beautiful, well-designed cards. We know you know the difference a well-designed card can make and how it can be the difference between getting remembered or getting tossed in the rubbish bin. You only need to scroll through the MOO Flickr pool for proof of the amazing cards MOOsters have created!
Sadly, we’re still being handed limp, torn, dog-eared business cards. We think these cards send a signal that this business or person doesn’t …Continue reading this article…

May 2010, by Simon G | 76 Comments – latest by Painters MelbourneContinuing our week of blog posts in honor of ‘Small Business Week’ in the US, we’ll be blogging about small businesses and the things they wish they’d known, ways to promote yourself, and ways to get – and stay – motivated.
We’re also asking you to share your own experiences in the comments for some useful prizes, and to help out others in the same situation. We know you’re busy people, so we’ll be announcing the winners next Monday, to give everyone a chance to respond.
What’s in a name?
In Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare’s famous heroine Juliet passionately asks:
“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
