Business Cards, Ads & Stationary

[jeremy]

Here's my card:


I print them myself on Avery Clean Edge Business Cards media. Eight cards per sheet. Then I fold it forward at the scores, and the cards break out with perfect edges.

Apparently LP101 does not allow domain forwarding when displaying images. So here it is again, referenced directly this time:

you might want to hide you phone number to stop the internet prank calls

[jeremy]

I'll consider it if I get prank calls. But a business card is, after all, intended to give contact information.

I like your logo. Who designed it? I might like to hire their services.

[jeremy]

Yes, I might like to offer them some money too, if I could locate the author of the picture I based it on, but I'm having trouble determining that.

[Raccoon]

Did you or an artist you hired, draw the actual final image from scratch-- using only a visual reference?

[jeremy]

No, I copied and pasted the small portion of the image that I wanted, then edited it. I am considering drawing something comparable from scratch.

"For security or breach thereof"

You are willing to breach someone's security for payment ?

[Raccoon]

Well, duh. Someone's gotta do it. Breaking into homes and safes is a good living-- especially when the owner hands you cash instead of calling the police.

[Magic]

Well, we obviously have different definitions of 'breach security'.

The fact that we are discussing it here would suggest that it is an ambiguous statement. Should we make ambiguous statements on our business cards ?

Duh?

[Raccoon]

*shrugs* I got it right away.

A safe cracker is a unique line of work, and people go into employing a safe cracker with this in mind. Customers can't help but think of the last dozen movies where someone broke into a safe, so the job has a certain mystique to it. A hired professional who breaches security. I can't think of a better way to word it than jeremy already has.

[Magic]

I may, one day, need to have a safe opened. I will never want to have my security breached.

[Raccoon]

Don't take the fun out of it for the rest of our customers. For a customer who needs a locksmith, they have given up and resigned to defeat. It's time to call the hollywood james bond locksmith to put on a show and bust that safe like they've seen on TV-- but right there, in their own home, a for-real locksmith!

When the hands are thrown in the air, it doesn't matter how you word it. Whatever gets them in.

[jeremy]

The term "safecracker" seems to be more controversial than my phrase "For security or breach thereof". Overall, my business cards seem to clarify what I do and leave very few people concerned. I hope the rest of the card and the way I present myself don't contribute to any idea that I may have criminal interests.
