poll: which business card do you prefer?

Written By Robin Wade

I'm designing new business cards, and narrowed the choices down to two.

A) (below) is the logo I recently came up with originally for a branding iron. Now I'm using throughout.

B) (above) Uses the same design and

adds a photo I took a couple of years ago at my (then) kiln operation. They were moving the cherry lumber that had just been debarked with a draw knife to dry stack for a couple of years. In Iphoto, I just used a sepia tint. Seems to convey the speed of my process. But, I have some concerns about it getting too busy, etc. Please let me know what you think before I go to press. thanks in advance!

Robin Wade Furniture is a celebration of nature—a melding of a forward thinking commitment to the environment and a quiet, harmonious design aesthetic. From his "slow studio" in North Alabama, award-winning wood artist Robin Wade designs and crafts one-of-a-kind handmade furniture. Years before a piece is ready to enter a client's home or a gallery, the process begins—naturally—with the tree. Sustainably harvested, each specimen of hardwood is flitch sawn into natural-edge wood slabs, debarked by hand with a draw knife, and stacked to dry, usually for years, before the final cure in the kiln. From here, Wade and his team use both hand and power tools to bring Wade's vision to life, and then finish each piece with a hand-rubbed oil blend. Each organic furniture creation by Robin Wade Furniture balances the raw, natural beauty of environmentally, locally sourced hardwoods with minimally invasive, clean lines—a juxtaposition Wade calls both rustic and modern. “I haven’t yet found a better artist than nature,” he says.
