New signature - opinions please

Just trying to teach this old dog a new trick or two.

New sentiment, signature, and tennative business card.

Comments on the card please. Yes, there are actually 2 snakes in the picture, one on top of the other.

I did try to reduce the business card for this venue, with no luck.

You won't hurt my feelings. And if you do, I'll get over it.

After all, I did ask for it, didn't I?

Just a little shameless and egocentric self promotion, that's all.

Hey John,

My only comment is it's too small to read, Do you have the original artwork? Maybe strip away most of it so all you have left is the pic and name. If it's a jpg file, you could crop away to get just the center? Kinda like I did with mine....

My business card..

You can see how I cropped away a good part of it for my sig file

Looks very nice, what i can see of it. Maybe it's my computer settings, or maybe you need to un-reduce it...

I reduced it on purpose. That's OK if you can't read it. It is just part of my signature there.. It looks too big to me [on the signature].

I think I'll take the Bus. card out of my signature. It's a little too much. I'll work on it like you suggest.

I can send you a full sized copy of just the card.

Just remember to make sure your logo comes under our requirements too. This one is just slightly oversized. From our TOS:

You may include a small personal or business logo/avatar for use as part of your signature. Logos/avatars may not be placed within the body of a message. Any graphic/image used as part of your signature must be 170x50 pixels or smaller in size - no exceptions. Determining acceptable sizes for odd graphic/image shapes not strictly 170x50 is thus: width x height when multiplied is 8,500 total pixels or less. Example of an acceptable size: 125 x 65 = 8,125 pixels. Example of an unacceptable size: 100 x 90 = 9,000 pixels. A pattern of repeated inclusion of a particular graphic/image within the body of a message may be taken into consideration when determining if it is being used as a personal logo/avatar or not. Business logos/avatars may not include specific items for sale, prices, advertising slogans, or other text within them that is generally commercial in nature.

Personally, I'd suggest that you simplify and reduce slightly.
