It doesn’t matter what industry you’re in, a great business card is a fundamental part of marketing yourself effectively and acquiring the customers that you desire. Freelancers, small businesses and large companies all have their own business card designs but more often than not, they’re pretty boring to say the least.
So how do you make yourself and your business really stand out? Well, one way is to opt for a cartoon-style design.
A lot of people think of cartoon style designs and believe that they’ll look childish and unprofessional. This isn’t the case at all and to prove it, I’ve rounded up a list of the most stunning and beautifully well-designed cartoon-style business cards ever to get your creative juices flowing. You can also find free cartoon websites over the internet.
Miles Mungo
A business card is all about telling the world what you do. These cards from Miles Mungo do exactly that, and in a beautiful cartoon style too. As the business card states, he designs things…that is all.

Brand Colbow is another freelance designer that has chosen to introduce his potential clients with a cartoon-style drawing of himself on his business card. It’s friendly and light-hearted. Perfect for winning those clients.

Jessica Nicole
Although created in a beautiful cartoon style, I hope that the green character on the card isn’t Jessica herself, or she might scare off a few clients.
