Coolest business card ever

Written by

February 23, 2009

My friend Charlotte works for LEGO and the last time I saw her there, she handed me her new business card.

This is it:

When LEGO employees get a business card like this, they even try to match the look of the minifig (gender, hair, glasses) to the person.

I love it. It’s a brilliant way for LEGO to use their brand and to create some happiness along the way.

What does your business card look like? Is it fun, surprising and memorable… or is it just like all the other ones out there.

Update: I should probably add that only a few LEGO employees get these – they’re expensive to make so only a few executives and people in PR roles get them.

Plus 1 for creativity. This is one business card everyone will put on their desk and it will remind them of Lego whenever they take a look at it. Brilliant idea. But let’s hope it does not become an industry standard or I may have to get a second desk to display all these awesome cards.

LEGO definitely gets the award for coolest business card ever. I would love to hand out a little plastic replica of myself at my next event. It’s a great lesson on staying creative, while having some fun, in every area of business.

That IS the coolest business card ever! Lego is the best. I just love them. They are fun photo objects as well.

@lucy: They have this little plastic box to lug them around in. Not as convenient as a card – that’s for sure :o)

Very cool! If I got the Lego business card, I would definitely keep it on my desk – until my 3-year-old absconded with it. And the list of creative business cards were extremely inspiring for my upcoming biz card redesign, so thanks much!

As far as carrying around business cards of other people ,that is the purpose of a pda. I mean how many cards can you comfortably carry in a wallet or card holder. As far as where to put them, you build a roledex or a merry go round out of Bricks and then attach. Or if you want to get fancy you build yourself a NXT robotic roledex that will twirl it for you and stop at the correct fig. Or if using Business Bricks(tm) you simply stack them up. And build things out of them or create flow diagrams with them on baseplate so you get a 3d representation of your network.

If you got one, and you liked it, I am sure you would find a good place to put it.

Not to be a wet blanket, but for all the commentators who say the Lego is impractical or “doesn’t fit in a Rolodex” – how many people even still use Rolodexes?

Once I get someone’s contact information it goes into my PDA/phone and that gets synchronized with my electronic contact list.

And even if I did have a Rolodex (I do have a box with assorted business cards from various and sundry contacts and vendors I’ve worked with), and I wanted to keep this Lego employee’s info in it, I’d just use a blank card (or the back of one of my own) to write the info down and stick it in.

Meanwhile the little Lego figure would help decorate my workspace.

@ sara – The function of business cards is changing. I agree with Leroy43. The contact information goes directly into the smartphone / PDA. That’s where the contact info is pulled from in case you need to contact that person, rather than carrying around the lego person in your pocket. I don’t know of anyone that carries around a stack of contacts’ business cards in their pocket everyday.

My business is turning business cards into business cards on steroids with BusinessCard NoteCards. We take client’s existing business cards and spiral bind them to blank note pages and a year-at-a glance calendar on the backs. Even though they have been around for 20 years, very few know about them. I’m always looking for new ideas and this selection of unique cards was appreciated.

Great Business Card!

I have always liked the lego idea! I’ve seen some who have the lego blocks for their cards, but not a minifig. Very cool. I’m jealous of lego executives. For us normal folks we just look for great deals on printing our cards.

Well, I have a double take on the Lego Cards. As a cute idea between company divisions, etc..it seems like a great idea, but as an ‘Actual’ business card it seems rather cumbersome, and just really down right dumb. Everyone knows what Legos are, and don’t need to be reminded, and no one would want to carry one of those around with them, so they would probably put it up, and just write down the information that is on it. That is just my opinion, that’s all.

Fabulous idea! I just just imagine the army of Charlotte’s lined up like March of the Wooden Soldiers in her office. As a take away Charlotte can say, “Now let’s build a strong relationship”, or “Let’s snap to it”. Anyway a fabulous idea and the begining of a great marketing non-traditional tactic. Now how can I get my army of Joe’s, so I can start build strong relationships with clients.

I got some more posts cute and clever designs of business cards on my blog as well. Check us out whenever you have the time.

I cannot print corportate logos directly onto the fig, but can do names, email addresses, tele numbers.

I am working on new product to be released soon called a Fig-TEE which is essentially a tee shirt for a minifigure for LEGO(tm) and other LEGO(tm) compatible brands. On these I will be able to print logo and you can just put them on your favourite fig.

Update: Just got in my sample of injected priatable part and it looks excellent. So you can go out and buy your own minifigure (or buy from me or anyone else) and dress him with a custom printed Tee Shirt, a fig-Tee(tm).

For those who might want a custom fig whether a LEGO(tm) fig or other compatible ones, I have now had custom made a tee shirt that will fit onto a fig. These are call Fig-TEEs(tm) Since these are my own part and are NOT a LEGO(tm) part, there are no legal restrictions to printing your company name and logo onto them. Of course I still can decide what is aprropriate in my estimation and can of course refuse to print anything I do not deep appropriate.
