Google Business Card
I can’t help but laugh at all the attention being given to the business card on GeekSugar and iMod reinterpreting it as the business card being used by Google employees. Even though I think it’s very creative and could even be a great idea (except for when somebody else uses your keywords and outranks you), Google’s actual business card being used by employees is nothing as creative or exciting, I might even add it’s downright boring compared to the amount of creativity going into their other services (although they did give the word “Google” a textured feel by machine pressing the letters from behind, probably to help blind people identify the card as a Google business card)
Since business cards is not their trade, I’ll admit that they did a good job creating a functional, professional looking business card that will probably appeal to business owners and a little less to artist.

It’s a wicked business card, wouldn’t mind one of those ;)
Got the card somewhere close to the end of 2007, was doing research on keyword generation for image search engines at the time and they were looking for students to participate in summer of code or join them permanently. Had an interesting discussion with them about their plans for expanding to Africa, but never took them up on their offer.
I’m surprised they dont have a few adwords thrown in there :)
Google ads for your business cards, lol
LOL – good find, was wondering about the business cards on the other blogs, and also thinking about how they’ll rank their employee at the top ..
@Arné: Was also thinking the same thing, especially in cases where people have the same name, surname or initials.
