    Half-way there

    Consider ditching the slight-angle. Work on the typography on the left, making it more unified (ditch the line and the white, find other ways - size/style - to emphasize the name)

    And a slight tweak, drop the alltogether C or put in Cell. Plus, do you really expect mail/personal visits? If it comes down to that point in your work, your client will most likely have other avenues of getting a hold of your info. Just my $.02

    The gradient line

    I quite like this, but I think it needs brightening up a more vibrant orange. Maybe make your logo smaller to add space.

    Definitely ditch the gradient or make it run white to orange from the y

    Too cramped

    I'm not a fan of the logo, but that's not what's in review here. Right now, there's too much. With printing costs what they are these days, a double sided card costs the same as a single sided. I recommend moving the logo to the back of the card and layout out the info on the front side in a more creative fashion, allowing for a bit of negative space.

    Right now this card is kind of rubber stamped. Here's a space for something, plunk. Here's a space for something, plunk.

    As well, try working with some different out of the box fonts. There's a lot of sans fonts out there like Klavika or Diavlo or DIN that offer some style without being crazy. This Myriad choice is plain and overdone.

    Gradient bar in the uppper right

    I think the gradient is a little strong but that's the only thing that really bothers me. I think the typography on the left could stand for more work. Maybe make the phone number stand out because all that information gets lost. You also might want to reconsider the formatting of the right side because it does not read correctly, in is the first word I read. I like the subtle texture
