I would like a (somewhat non-standard) business card designed. I am looking for a new job and I often hear my last name mangled. It seems awkward for the person that I am talking to because they can't always remember the proper pronunciation of "Pinkowski" (it's "pin" + "cow" + "ski", easy right!). So I am looking for a card that makes that easier for them. In a playful, but unpolished version that I made, I used an icon of a pin, cow and ski to help get the across.

I would also like to highlight some of the key points about my career so far. (Although, I have not finalized these.) In my own crude draft of this idea, I included the following bullet points on one half of the card. They are:
5 Years as Chief Operating Officer
SMOOTH Corporation
(www.iFLOOR.com)
• $3M->50M in 5 years, Profitable!
• 107th Fastest Growing in US
(Inc. magazine)
• 115th Largest Online Retailer in US
(Internet Retailer magazine)
• 15th Fastest Growing in Seattle
(Puget Sound Business Journal)

I don't expect to be printing thousands of these, so I need them in a format that would I could use at a Kinko's or similar. I would also prefer to be able to edit the file at a later date if I decided to make changes.

Don't be afraid to have some fun with this. I am happy to answer questions.

First of all thank you! I asked many people which version they liked best and the results were evenly divided. Every version got at least two votes.

I have selected Fran (message #2). But I never thought it would be so tough to choose. Thanks to everyone.

Michael,
thanks for choosing my design :)
Do you need any revision or could I send you the files?

I created the files by Illustrator and I could save them as .ai, .eps, .pdf. Do you need something else?
