First shot at doing a "Business card

[thestack510]

"Quality and affordable geckos" doesn't sound quite right to me, I would change it to "Quality Geckos At Affordable Prices," what do you think? Also, I don't know if you've considered this, but using black although it looks great will raise you costs in ink. I'd use light blue letters with a dark blue stroke (outline) on a white background, in your case. It's coming together nicely. CGC!

"Quality" is a noun, and "affordable" is an adjective, so those two words are not parallel when you say "Quality and Affordable geckos."

What about "Affordable Quality Geckos" instead?

I like the black a bit better, but the white one is also very pretty (# 3 and 4). Good job. Maybe you can print 50% black, and 50% white

Quality can be used as a noun, however, it can also be used as an adjective. In the sentence that you made "Affordable Quality Geckos", you are using Quality as an adjective, as the noun in that sentence is "Geckos". As it stands your sentence is "[Adj.] [Adj.] [noun]" (Since both are describing what kind of geckos he offers) wouldn't you need a comma after affordable, as you are listing multiple adj. about the noun. So wouldn't it be "Affordable, Quality Geckos"?

If the sentence was "Affordable Quality" then you would be using quality as a noun.

I prefer the card that uses an "s" as having a business name, that does not match your site "gecko" vs "geckos" is confusing. People may remember "egecko.com" and have trouble finding you. Best thing is to keep it consistent.

LOL^ So if I use "Affordable Quality Geckos" it would be better to be "Affordable, Quality Geckos"? And yes I plan to add the "S" to it so it wont be confusing to people.
Now how about what Ken suggested, "Quality Geckos At Affordable Prices.". Now would I capitalize everything? I use to use that "slogan" on my other site, but I guess I thought the one I am using sounded better LOL

Thanks again everyone for all the help!

You don't generally capitalize filler words such as "at" "to" "and", etc. So if you wanted to use the slogan with capitalization, it would be "Quality Geckos at Affordable Prices".

But I don't think you necessarily need to capitalize. Titles are capitalized, slogans generally aren't. So you would probably capitalize "Excellent Geckos" and then the slogan would just read "Quality geckos at affordable prices."

Just a thought.
