CAP Business Cards

[EMT-83]

When you design your card, I would say that less is more. Use the proper logo as specified by regulation, and limit the use of fonts and colors. In other words, keep it professional.

There was an "official" CAP business card available through the (now defunct) CAP Bookstore. It was printed in two spot colors (reflex blue and red) on white, with the seal in the upper left corner.

There was no other art element on it.

There's nothing wrong with that. Keep it simple, keep the permutations down.

Fax...heh...

Yeah, I know. I need a new mug. 

Replaced some personal ID info with generic stuff. You can add or remove to it, I don't care.

Why would you list your name as Last, Middle Initial, First as opposed to First MI Last?

This is my own card design. I did not follow anyone's specific format I just did this myself. I have a small print-shop of my own where I can do raised printing and such. I do calligraphy as a business and make wedding invitations and other related things. I do the calligraphy by hand but use the machines to "mass produce".

I make my own cards on various kinds of paper depending on the intent and the audience. If you like the design, feel free to use it. I print on both sides and once again it depends on the audience. This has worked out well for me. The front part stays the same but the rear of the card changes.

If I am going to something AE or CP related than I will put that information on the back. If it is history related than I will change it. I usually print about 50 of the cards when I go somewhere.

Is there an "official" CAP business card?  If so, where can it be found?

There isn't one. Just remember to keep it simple and don't misrepresent yourself.

OK, here's a question. On a business card, would you use www.cap.gov or www.gocivilairpatrol.com for our website?

I think listing both national and local websites are appropriate.  The national site (www.gocivilairpatrol.com) is specifically designed for recruiting.  If you want to display credibility, that site's videos say more than a .gov extension can.  Seeing what we do is a major selling point. 

Another major selling point I think is to emphasize the volunteer nature of our organization.  Listing the .gov extension (though not bad per se) could potentially convey the opposite meaning to some people.
