If I don't like the way a logo looks on a business card, or it cramps the information, I put it on the back!. The company logo should always be on the card #1!. After all, what a business card is doing is introducing people to a brand and the logo is a big part of what the company is about!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It sounds like the logo itself needs to be redesigned first!. If you are going to use the image that represents a business then you use the whole image or not at all!. The logo design was approved for a reason, but if its design needs to be revisited that needs to be done before it is put on any card or letterhead!.

You weren't clear if you are the owner of the business or if you are just the card designer!. If you are not the owner then any changes to a company logo would obviously have to be pre-approved!. It is not neccessary to put a company's logo on its cards, but it can give the potential client a visual idea of what the company is like (i!.e!. creatively, professionally, etc!.)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
