Thanks Rick With regards to the calendar, and any other content that is time-specific, the inclusion of such information renders the cards useful only for a specific timeframe. That's not a bad thing, just an element to consider. That could also dictate the quantity produced.

I'll forward a file later as it's on my other machine. I'll also forward the fonts I used, (Although I think you may have them from the NL). This year I also added a Calendar of meetings to the back of the card. I'll forward that as well, although I think you'd be able to figure it out ;). Thanks for all your contributions.

I've not heard from the board that they would like to proceed with this idea, but I would be willing to produce two or three soft proofs to serve as examples of what a new card would look like. So, yes send me the logo as a native Illustrator (.ai) file. Rick: send me the version of the card you have in its native format, which I beleive you indicated was Publisher (.pub). Also, if anyone has ideas for content, send those along too. The obvious content would be: Club name: Saguaro Astronomy Club URL: www.saguaroastro.org Club mailing address: ? Does the club receive its mail at a PO Box or alterante to a residence as the leadership changes? Email address: an address someone could use to inquire about the club. If the club's email provider supports aliasing it might be a good idea to use one for this purpose. That way the card can continue to be used even as leadership changes. Back side: anything we may want to have printed on the back side. Any ideas anyone has for the general look of the card. I happen to prefer the look of a card that utilizes a full-bleed background image over one that has a plain white background; to me the former is more visually appealing, the latter more business-like. But, others may have differing opinions. Also, if you have any opinions on typeface, please share them. I tend to use Open Type fonts more than True Type fonts, so I may (and likely do) have typefaces that you don't necessarily have. For example, the typeface on the cards I gave to Joe was Tekton Pro. Once I receive the input I will create the card (using InDesign) and produce the soft proofs (PDF). I'll put them on the website with a blind url posted on the sac-board forum. Then the board can decide whether or not to proceed.
