Business Card design for Hennessey

Logo is very cool but the whole design is very dark

It looks good to me. The only thing I would worry about would be the printing. I will most definitely turn out darker than on screen, so I would just be carefully when printing.

I would recommend printing a sample of this out at home to make sure you can read that white text. It always looks legible on the screen, but try it out on actual paper to make sure its legible.

It is a tad dark (although I really like that, I can almost guarantee you it will be even darker when it comes time to print). So I would lighten up the backside just a tiny bit. nothing major.

also, see how the logo on the front would look with that nice brighter blue from the backside.

the logo is fine. the blue background is fine too.

but it is sort of dark. n the side where the contact info is the logo might get lost at sea. Were you trying to give it that on the water feel? It's kind of pirate like now, maybe a few shades lighter will give off a different emotion. Good job on the simplicity though.

everyone agrees the logo is solid, and it just to dark.

I would suggest having the blue cut in half keeping the top half white, and the logo sitting just on top of the blue but also using the white part as it's back ground as if it's sailing on the sea.

then your dad's name on the other side can float along next to it..

I like this design, just think it needs a few tweaks. I would carry the texture used on the top side on the back. I would also try something different with the dark square with the logo on it. Maybe just make the color and texture of the logo with no logo on it. Just some thoughts, strong concept though.

I would love to see how this prints on a high gloss good stock paper.

But I can't.

So if I were you I would do that first.

Your logo doesn't have enough contrast from the dark blue background. I Would ditch the black box that surrounds your logo in the first pic.

Be very careful about using all-caps type. It feels shouty. You need to work on kerning.

This looks like you are using Myriad Pro to me, which is the default Illustrator font---in other words, it is what everyone uses when they lack ideas. Even if you don't have very many good fonts, there's a lot you could do with this type to make it interesting.

That logo is compelling. I think you did a bang-up job with it. Don't hide it. Really make it pop.

the ghost ship only repairs group I see. No but really it's fine and simple and the logo is good and the information is there but should there be more about repair?
