Thursday, August 12th, 2010

4x4_bolts_business_cards4×4 Bolts is a fastener business spun from years of experience in the fastener industry, a love for 4×4 vehicles, and the desire to help other off-road enthusiasts. 4×4 Bolts first called 509 Media to design a company logo to brand the new company.  The 4×4 Bolts logo design was first created and then the branding mark was used on the business cards, stickers, and vinyl banners.

The business card design is not to flashy yet has the ability to stand out in the mountains of business cards we receive on a daily basis. Here are 509 Media we preach to our clients it is very important to improve chances for customer recall in every interaction. By having a well put together business card you can in fact increase your chances of being remembered when your services or products are needed.

The 4×4 Bolts business cards were printed on 16 pt card stock for a thick solid feeling business card.  The front side of the business cards received a UV coating to make them shine while the rear remained non-coated.  The coating was left off the rear to allow the client to write in the card if needed.

Madhouse Fabrication Business Cards

Sunday, August 8th, 2010

madhouse_fabrication_business_cards Madhouse Fabrication from the big state of Texas needed a custom logo created.  One of the key features about the Madhouse Fabrication logo was the ability to laser cut the design into metal parts for branding purposes.  The business cards utilized the logo design to further establish the Madhouse brand.

The business cards are printed on 16 pt card stock with a UV coating applied to the front side of the business cards to make them shine.  The rear of the business cards will not receive the UV coating to allow our client to hand write notes on the rear of the card if needed.

509 Media can design and print business cards to suit your company or organizational needs.  Be sure to contact us today for details.

Peak Empire Racing Pit Stop Boards

Friday, August 6th, 2010

peak-empire-racing3Peak Empire Racing have been hard at work getting ready for the Vegas to Reno race coming up later this month.  They needed pit boards to hold up so their drivers would know where to stop.  Take my word for it pit stops are needed in a desert race.  The signs were cut from reflective orange vinyl and placed on white coroplast.  The pit boards should do the job for Peak Empire Racing.

Hammerking Productions Business Card Design (Video)

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

hammerking_business_cardHammerking Productions is leading the way in desert racing and changing the way many look at the sport.  Traditional desert racing puts drivers and vehicles through bone breaking desert terrain for mile after mile.  Hammerking started a new series that takes desert racing and adds rock crawling to the event.  Rather than driving around the mountains the King Of The Hammer event held each year in Johnson Valley California sends drivers through the desert and over the mountains.

Jeff Knoll is one of the founding members of Hammerking and a long time friend of mine in the off-road community.  He called and said he could not figure out how to make his business card look cool.  509 Media was the first company that came to his mind.  After a couple hours of design time the 509 crew nailed down a final design for Hammerking Productions.

The cards were printed on heavy 16 pt card stock in full color both front and back.  Only the front side of the business cards received a UV coating.  Leaving the UV coating off the rear will allow notes to be hand written on the cards if needed.

Crawler Ready Business Cards

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

crawler_ready_business_cardRock crawling is a sport I have personally been involved in from the beginning.  I remember when the term first started in the magazines and on the trails around the country.  After only a few short years it many people participate in this off-roading sport around the world.  The sport of rock crawling and the people involved in it were very good to me as I started and built Blue Torch FabWorks from the ground up.  I may have sold the company but I still have a passion for off-road vehicles, loud engines, and big tires.

When Crawler Ready first emailed about the business card project I was very excited to have the opportunity to work on a rock crawling related project.  The business card design we choose for Crawler Ready was to match their current look and feel on their website.  Contrasting colors and clean lines.  Spot UV was used on their business cards to highlight text that would not otherwise be seen.  Once the cards return form print we will update the thread with pics.

The business cards were printed in full color on 16 pt card stock.  Most of the card will be matte finish other than the areas defined in the spot uv process.  The spot uv areas include the company logo, branding mark, and a tag line on the front side of the business card.

Psy-Op Tactical Business Cards

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

psyop_tactical_business_cardPsy-Op Tactical was a fun project to work on.  I think one of the main reasons is the owner of the company is a friend and long time customer through a prior business I owned in the past.  Psy-Op Tactical manufactures products to give an edge to law enforcement and military personal in the field.  The men and women putting themselves in harm’s way to protect the average citizen should have the very best tools to do the job.  If you are in law enforcement be sure to check with Bruce at Psy-Op Tactical for details.

509 Media provided a number of services to Psy-Op Tactical starting with a logo design.  You can find more information about the logo design here on our website.  We also designed hanger tags or fold tags for packaging product.  These are the folded card stock stapled to the top of plastic bags for hanging retail protect on peg board.  We will be posting this project in the Graphic Design section of our website.

The Psy-Op Tactical business cards were printed on 16 pt card stock.  They are full color front and back.  The business cards match the brand and look of other marketing pieces we are working on for them.
