Business card required

I provide support for start-up businesses, business mentoring, innovation training and I.T. development.

No.

Attached are some card designs that I like, so that you get a sense of what I am looking for.
I include the logo that I had designed, of which there are some slight variations. I tend to prefer the version shown in Simon_Bowen_logo_1_lo-res (slightly 3-d with gradient) but I am interested to see what version you think works best as a busienss card design. If you choose the version Simon_Bowen_logo_1_lo-res you will need to re-create this as I don't have the original artwork. An .eps file of the basic logo design is included.

Although the logo versions sent are in greyscale I am interested whether you propose any colours in the design, so feel free to experiment with this.

The card can be single-sided or double sided, depending on what design you propose. I also need a proposal for what typography to use for 'Simon Bowen' (or 'SIMON BOWEN'. Again, feel free to experiment.

I attach my C.V. so if you also feel inspired that other information could be presented on the card then please also feel free to propose your ideas.

I am looking for something original, contemporary, but still professional and business-like. No overly-funky fonts please - I want something modern and stylish.

If you have ideas fo special printing, such as embossing, rounded edges, spot varnish etc then feel free to show me your ideas.

I have decided to omit the address from the business card - please just include the telephone number, web URL and email address.

Also, one designer has already used the tagline "Independent
Consultant". I do not like the term 'Consultant'. Please instead use the
tagline 'Business Strategist and Mentor' and separately somewhere on
the card, list the following services that I offer:

Business:
Mentoring
Start-up support

Web & e-commerce development
