New Idea Try to make a 3D logo but leave the effect to wear SITES -
Gregory Kendall commented:
I'm not sure I understand, "leave the effect to wear sites?" English is my second language :)

Yuriy Feshchyn commented:sorry, I meant "effect of scratches"!)

Summary:
I would consider just taking out the frame altogether, as well as, the grey background, ( which you did state was not supposed to be there.) I would then maybe make the bright gold use on the lettering and to accentuate the U and ribbon (or somehow in there with the U and/or ribbon or just the word "seduce" and " The art of French Seduction") It will look more professional without the frame. Then consider a traditional business card shape; so it will most likely be kept in the wallet rather than tossed aside in a drawer.
Minor Problem I dont get this frame thing here. It looks nice in general, but its like from paste image, and also doesnt keep to site/logo purpose . If this is regarding art - i think its much less valuable than seduction , which is not highlighted much enough French seduction doesnt say anything to me. I belive we Poles, seduce at least as good as french (customer may also think like that). French kiss is well know (with thounge), so is this mean,m that this seduction is pure sexual? If not - we have a problem. Also "The art of seduction" is easier to understand than french seduction. We try to remember what french seduction means...and we have nothing (or i don't ...and i'm good at it so..sth wrong ;) Positive Feature I like this part. To be honest, i would see this bussiness card as black, with this colors and logo in top left corner, and some writings using yellow font Summary:
See notes. I like style, but i dont see the message in it. Maybe some shadows of cupid ?;) I really like dark and mysterious feeling, but i would skip frame.

Thank Jakub. Actually the back of the card is white with the the sofa pattern in a very light gray color and the shadow of a couple kissing on top. Regarding your comments, the business card obviously contains less information than the website, where you will be able to find what this French Seduction means. It doesn't implied that American people can't seduce of course, it's means it's fresh approach to meet people and behave when meeting some one from the opposite sex. Also in France dating doesn't exist, it's either you are with somebody or you are not. Also there's nothing sexual in the purpose of this company, because what you are going to learn is purely attitude, style, behavior etc.. that can be used at work, with friends or to meet new people.

Jakub RóG commented:This is all true Gregory, but i wrote what i see from this card :) i dont see that this isnt sexual, i dont know about france and no dating , you think someone in USA will? ;) Also seducing isnt talking, isnt social skills etc. I was trying to show you, how small information you provide for person who sees this card after a while, or somewhere see this logo - no clue that this isnt all about sex. Couple kissing is what i wanted to see here, at least some kind of this symbolic shape

Patrick Niebrzydowski commented:This is a good point. Seduction IS sexual. If you are trying to sell this as a company that is not sexual in purpose, seduction is not a good word to use, at least in the USA.

Gregory Kendall commented:
Ok I know it might be a bit tricky, the "main" purpose of this company, it's not really a company, but anyway, is indeed to teach you how ot seduce, basically attracts and look interesting and act smart with someone from the opposite sex you would meet in a bar, a club or restaurant. How to take someone on a date with having the girl at the end of the evening thinking "man this guy is so boring and it doesn't know what to do with himself". If you end up having a sexual relationship at the end of the evening then good for you but this is not the main goal. They are already other services that exists specialized in this, like pick up artists it's called. Useduce goes deeper than that, those social skills you will learn can be used to meet your future girlfriend but also maybe act more interesting and open minded during a job interview for example. You will see when the website goes live I'll let you know, there's 30 pages booklet that explains the method, very interesting.

Summary:
I think the design is fantastic and I think you hit just about everything you wanted to do as far as strategy.
The one thing that worries me is how it reads. I read it as "U seduce" (you seduce?) but my thought after looking at it is that it is meant to be "Seduce U" as in university - a school of seduction. Now I'm not really sure which it is supposed to be. For me, the design fits well with the university idea, but reads more as "you seduce" right now.
Also, see my comment about seduction in Jakub's review.

Gregory Kendall commented:
Yes, the website is actually www.useduce.com (not live yet). Seduce U would be wrong as you are the one actually taking the class to learn how to seduce, they are not going to teach you how to get seduced :)
-
Patrick Niebrzydowski commented:
That's good, I think it reads the right way. I think it does have a university-esque feel to it. That might be okay though since it is a sort of school. Just not sure if it's entirely clear that it's "u seduce" and not "Seduce U" (or whether that matters)

Summary:
I would like to see the logo again on the back (which is great). The font alone is not enough.
Way not the the actual back of a painting. The border as well...
Summary:
Hello your website needs to be able to do something!!!!!! Not just look pretty, although it is beautiful.
BUT HELLO MAKE IT DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN SIT AROUND!!!!!
Minor Problem on card_front_v3c_72.jpg 1 The font use and execution needs work. Otherwise beautiful logo. Summary:
Overall this is a great improvement on the other version. Text is only thing that needs a little work.
Minor Problem This spotlighting makes the background seem a little washed out or with a transparent white overlay. Porblem with spotlighting
The spotlight seems to highlight the background but doesn't seem to touch the logo at all. The logo should punch out at you (I assume you want that to be the focus).-
Gregory Kendall commented:
Yes I removed the couple kissing in the background it was disturbing. The second version was better, thanks!
Positive Feature Great Color Scheme
Red and gold go great together!-
Gregory Kendall commented:
Thank you
This logo does have some disconnect from the background and isn't completely flat. -
Gregory Kendall commented:
Yes, I'm not sure what to do yet as the logo needs to be able to stand on his own like for a letterhead or something, it wont have this background all the time...
Summary:
Great design, it can use a few tweaks to make it that much better.
-
Summary:
Nuff said you've nailed the logo… I'd probably make this business card a die cut chaise lounge, with the U seduce sitting in the middle and the client details on the back...
Good Luck!
-
Gregory Kendall commented:
haha thanks! yeah I actually wanted to have a die cut card but have the gold frame cut, by adding some shapes sticking out. The chair might be misleading, I was already worried that I would start losing the focus on what the business does so I'll will it as is I guess.
-
Positive Feature Nice color combination
Red and gold always go well. No exceptions. Nice choice.-
Gregory Kendall commented:
Thanks!

Serious Problem The French accent is very pronounced for other countries, needs to do a better adaptation. Positive Feature The look is simple and clear! New Idea Add basic information without losing clarity! Summary:
- Love the textured sofa background
- U Seduce logo needs a third dimension
- Frame needs non-square edges
- Name sounds like it's a product for University students
- What does U Seduce do? I'm a bit unclear.
-
Gregory Kendall commented:
Yes I'm working on making the logo pop out a bit more. I hope the frame won't be square either, I will negotiate with the client to see if is willing to spend a bit to get those corners non-square. USeduce is a company who provide a service to people who lack the hability to "seduce" or socialize with the opposite sex. You get a personal coach, a relooking, some theory classes and you go out in restaurants and bars to practice with the help of your personal coach. It's a great concept.
- Love the textured sofa background
Summary:
Love it! The business card fits the theme 'seduction' and the entire card spells 'luxurious'. Could you try rounded edges? It might turn out better.
Actually the gold frame is where the business card will be cut. The white tapisserie in the background is not part of the card. It will be a square business card. Maybe I should work on the the frame so it will look less cropped when the card will be cut. Thank you!
