Has anyone ever thought to make ACNA business cards inviting people to join ACNA when you see another aurora on the road
I'd definatly carry a few around if we did this

Yes and yes. Been mentioned, and member TJM (who has a Saturn Aura now and isn't around here too much anymore) made some in Microsoft Word IIRC. His thread showing them is out there somewhere. But there's no official ACNA template on file or anything. If your question is an offer to make some up, go for it! They are very handy for sliding under windshield wipers as mini-invitations to check out the forums.

I have the vista version of word with all the templates and stuff... I'll do some mock-ups and get them up here. Maybe i can save them as a template and put the file somewhere where you all could download it?
Ideas/suggestions for what should be on them would be much appreciated.

I'd say "keep it simple" should be the overall theme. Maybe have our logo in the middle of the card, with some text above and below. "Nice Aurora!" above with "Check out the forums at www.auroraforums.com" below, or something like that. I have some perforated business card stock here too, and could print some up easily with a template.

Publisher is better for making business cards if you have it.

Publisher rocks for stuff like that. I used it for 5 years when I had to produce a newsletter.

Publisher is better for making business cards if you have it. I went the "home and student" route for office on the new computer, but I think I have it on the old comp... I'll do those today and get something up.

Alright it's pretty rough, but here's my preliminary results: ^^This one is with the black logo ^^My editing program is pretty crude (lol) but I found that if i simply inverted the colors, the white came out almost cream colored, so i messed with it a little and got the background to be a normal white. Again these are pretty basic, but they can be easily editied. Here are the source files if anyone wants to mess around with them on their own. I made it using Publisher 2003. Suggestions are welcome, I'll change them up until they are perfect, and maybe we can get some of these babies printed up! www.mediafire.com/?wgtlttpzlicwww.mediafire.com/?3nu3txdxy1b(I'm new to file hosting, so if anyone has any suggestions, help me out plz haha)

yea i like the black logo myself. Ima look into how much its going to cost me to print some and start putting it out and around when i see an Aurora parked or if im talking to someone who owns one.

Here's my concept for a business card: It's 150 DPI, business card sixe (3.5" X 2") and I can offer the template in Word 2003 or 2007 format. 10 business cards per page, and will work with any business card paper purchased at any local office supplies store. If you don't have word, I can put it into PDF format.
