Business Card Design Brief
Having just developed a logo, I now want to use that logo in the development of a business card. The card should contain the logo, my name, title, phone, email, website and physical address. I would like to use one side of the card for details and the other side for logo and messaging. Use your creativity to place the information effectively. I want the logo to appear in a strong blue, which may be matched on the back side of the card, where the logo might be reversed out in white. I want the text to be in either dark blue or black (not light blue or gray).
I am consultant, primarily helping small and mid-size companies refine their strategy, reorganize their staff and propel forward in their industry. I also teach at universities and coach on a one-on-one basis. The final design should reflect expertise, guidance, judgement, perspective, experience.
The font used in the logo is ACaslonPro.
Updates
Thank you for all of your submissions for my logo. I have selected one today and launched a new project - using the new logo as part of a new business card. I encourage you to submit designs for the business card.

Added Saturday, June 14, 2014
After looking at the first few designs, I want to offer these new instructions:
1. The address must appear in two lines:
8604 Mindich Court
Orlando, FL 32819
2. I want to add the designation CCIM after my name, so it should appear: H. Blaine Strickland, CCIM
3. Please change my titles to: Consultant / Coach / Instructor (which means you eliminate "Problem Solver")
4. I am not a fan of the small icons that appear before the phone, email and web information - that may be suitable for an email signature, but I think it clutters the business card. In my opinion, it is clear what the information is without having to be further signaled by the icon.
5. I prefer rectangular cards, and not having the corners rounded off.
Thank you !

Requirements
Must have
- Card must convey my name and information clearly. Do not make it too small - many of my customers are 50+ years old. Please use all three of my titles: consultant / coach / instructor.
Should not have
- Please do not use icons to represent the phone, email, web. Do not use p / e / w either to indicate those details.
I have decided that a swatch of color, especially a "blue wave," does not work for me. I would rather have a simpler, more reserved look rather than a very contemporary, high color card.
Please do not deconstruct the logo or put it in a different font or italics.
