Business greeting card

[Simon Beck]

This is exciting! AlphaBeck has now been in business for 6 months, and I plan to print and send a multi-purpose Christmas/New Year/Hanukkah card to all my past and current clients. I've come up with the design below as a first draft, and I feel it sums up my web and graphic design philosophy, but is it too boring/impersonal/corporate? Or just suitably understated?

Hi Simon.
I would make the text of your company name larger and of a different font so it isn't lost among the other text. Other than that, it's fine.

Hi Simon
The modified 'a' in 'alpha' just doesn't work for me.

Hmmm...
Christmas colors for "Season's Greeting"?
Modified a, make it bigger and bolder maybe? So it would stand out and not look like a typo glitch?

[Simon Beck]

Right... I was hoping for comments on the design of the card rather than my logo (which I don't intend to change at the moment!)

Here is a new version, designed with some input from my wife and elder son...

Hi Simon
Keeping it simple in a complicated world is a great idea but then I think you need to keep your graphics clean and simple to keep in line with your own maxim, whereas I feel your 'alphabeck' is moving rapidly away from that idea.

hi Simon,

I have to agree with Derek on this one. Shovel the snow off and it will look fine.

Like this, then...

Hi Simon,

This latest is the best.
