    In the spirit of the initiative I feel the second design works better, it has less engineered elements or perfect lines. I do however prefer the choice of colour in the first. Green is a bit generic for sustainability. I like the brown - a connection to the planet earth. Just a thought, how about taking the concept even further and printing on unusual re-used materials fromthe community?

      I just wrote my client with your idea. I love it. When I saw your recycled card for Invitro it reminded me of neat card from Richard Meeneely at the flea markets in New York city. www.usbcards.net. He prints on cereal boxes.

      I agree with Angela on the card design, the second brings a more earthy feel instead of being as polished as the first design. As for the logo, I would prefer the first without the recycle symbol. The symbol is unnecessary and redundant. The text needs more leading and kerning to let it breath more.
