The Fascinating Business Cards Of Famous People by ijebabe: 3:22pm On Jan 29, 2013
They don't need any introduction now but there was a time they used to.

The revealing business cards of successful artists, tycoons and politicians contain some remarkable insights into the personalities of their owners.

Donald Trump's showy card hints at flamboyance, Harry Houdini's unusual triangle gets immediate attention and Andy Warhol's demonstrates his understanding of the link between commerce and art.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg shows that when you're the boss you can put anything you want on your card, and no one can say no.

For more than a century before the arrival of 21st century tools LinkedIn and Facebook, business cards were a vital introduction and source of information.

In the infancy of business cards, lawyer Abraham Lincoln included a small essay explaining his credentials.

"Business cards provide a very pragmatic function", says corporate psychologist Travis Kemp.

"For an individual however, it can be a more personalised vehicle that enables a little more freedom to express uniqueness and to communicate a nuance or more intimate insight into who the owner is as a person, what they stand for or what they want the receiver to know about them."

Yes it is and why can't he make a card like that or why would someone make a dummy version of his card.
I have no doubt that he made that card himself. He's not immune from using the B word anyways.

The inspired logo is cool but the colour kind screams. Maybe you should upload a live pic instead.





I think there should be a thread for Nairalanders to show their complementary cards. grin

He was a great magician and can easily be termed one of the greatest that ever lived so you can't expect anything less.

Albert Eistein's kinda look too ordinary.

He probably got over excited after getting millions of dollars worth of funding from Angel investors.

What do you expect from a dude like that?
