CanadasBest Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 If someone with some graphic design talents has the time, we should put together a standard business card promoting the V's and the website. I would be willing to get them printed and bring them to the next 3 qualifiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soju Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Colour or black and white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strobe_z Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 What information should be on them? I've got a template more or less ready to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadasBest Posted July 19, 2008 Author Share Posted July 19, 2008 We should go with colour and double sided. Anyone else have ideas as to what should go on the cards? - Have our logo - Website address - Maybe part of the "About Us" write-up on the back side: "The Voyageurs soccer fan club was founded in 1996 as a national group of fans of Canada's men's World Cup team. Since then, we have been a visible presence at Canadian national team games both in Canada and abroad, at all age levels, for both the men's and women's teams. The Voyageurs are non profit and are maintained, run, and funded entirely by its fiercely enthusiastic members, we also host the most active Canadian soccer forum on the Internet" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montreal_FC_fan Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Keep it simple with the logo and website. Whats the point of having a history page on a business card? If they are really interested they will check out the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootieFool Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I think having some info about the club on the back of the card is a good idea. If someone handed me a business card with just a logo and a website on it, I'd think it was an advert and toss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we add a contact, an email address or even a phone number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadasBest Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 Some contact info would be good. Do we have a standard voyageurs@ or something@voyageurs.com e-mail addy? I agree with Montreal_FC_fan about keeping it simple. Some information about the group should be on there, but it shouldn't be too wordy. I just copied and pasted that section as an example. Feel free to use photos or the like to dress it up if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Wordmark + website/email + something of a one-line description. French on one side, English on the other. Let me proof the French . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strobe_z Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Better late than never... (I kinda forgot about this one actually) Two quick questions though... a) Are we the "official" Canadian soccer supporters group? Does Daniel want to translate it into French so we can have a double-sided card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadasBest Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 I like it. Edit... Probably too late to get these printed in time for Toronto though. Usually 5 business day minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
