Business Cards + Hackergotchi = Awesome

I was looking for something zesty to personalise our 2007 business cards, and stumbled on the idea of putting hackergotchis on them. At first I thought it would suck pretty badly, but on changing the effective DPI of the image (meaning no interpolation or lossy scaling), I discovered that the average hackergotchi will be about 8mm² at 300dpi. Perfect!

Has anyone made hackergotchi-powered business cards before?

    I like the t/f/m/e. I’m sure I’ve seen it before, but it hadn’t *stuck*. I’ll keep that in mind for my next set.

    Yeah, it’s good. I usually use ‘p’ instead of ‘t’, but it looked really ugly with this layout and font. ‘t’ seems so… archaic. ;-)

    Odd question. :-) We use the local branch of a small print shop chain, We Print It. They’ve been really good with us.

    I like the back. That’s awesome.

    Did you check out cards from moo.com? I have some and they’re nice.
