All right folks, tell me what you think. Don't hold back.

If any of you guys are planning to drum up some drone business, you better get on it. I think, with all the media attention given to the new FAA rules, many companies are now really looking into drones in a serious way. Realtors (some are already into it), phone company, power company, and even the sherriff's department all want to get into it. So far no one has turned me away.

OK ... here are some thoughts.
Move the text to free up the sky space and lift the drone into clear sky.
Re-shoot the foreground image so the cabin is not in shadow.
Reduce the text size in the lower half of the card a little.
Very rough concept below:
It might be nice to move the cabin closer to the lower left corner and have the FAA etc text on the right too?

Still rough, you could lift your contact details a little higher

My opinion on business cards is 'less is more'. Include the term 'Aerial Photography' so people are clear what you do, plain text on a plain card, no image, use the best quality card and print you can afford. Look at embossing or something that adds to the feel of it. The first thing people do is touch your business card, shiny printed cards don't feel nice.

Your card shouts at me, I would rather it spoke politely to me

"Traveling Aerial Photographer"
sounds better to me, than "Have Drone Will travel".


Drop the Red Lights, or make them Blue or Green.

Put the drone Up High and Turn it so the camera is "looking down" at the house

Icarus, I'm guessing you're under 40.   Anyone who is nearly as old as dirt knows exactly where that phrase came from.

I am also out of NC. I use a two sided card. The LOGO is also used on my shirts.

First impression it looks like a card for garden renovations,business cards should be clean your company name and ph number email etc ,must be clear and precise this card is way to busy, you need a business card which is printed on quality paper feels good in the hand I would suggest you have just the drone embossed on the card you company name and details pick neutral colors i.e. Black and white save the colors for a small leaflet,your in a niche business,not selling stuff from a bazaar.
Might have laid it on thick but you did ask.i wish you the best of luck in your new venture,making your hobby into a business is very brave and for this you deserve good things to happen..
