Woz Business Card is Still Ultra Cool

Woz Business Card

Rediscovered from the Geek Archives: Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has one of the coolest business cards I’ve ever seen.  Made from perforated stainless steel with laser-etched and painted lettering, Woz bragged on The Colbert Report in 2006 that he could cut steak with this thing!  I believe it.

This isn’t your Father’s Business Card.  Looks like Mr. Jobs isn’t the only Steve with good taste!

    The whole point of this business card is not the design but that it pisses off airport security. Woz, always the renowned prankster, told me in an interview a couple of years ago that airport security staff regularly ask “Have you got anything left in your pockets?”, and he goes: “Well, except for my business cards, can I keep those?” Of course, the cards make the metal detector go haywire and the security staff go mad. That’s what Woz told me but beware: it may have been a joke.

    That card is hideous on all kinds of levels. He probably designed it himself.

    I have one of these! I met him at a conference after seeing the original article, brought it up, and he game me one. It’s pretty spiffy, and you definitely could cut steak with it.

    Is that a unibody construction made out of a single block of aluminum?

    There’s one major design flaw. The logo appears twice on the same surface. Overkill.

  • Jack

    The material is cool but the layout and logo design is just horrendous. So far from “good taste” it’s not funny.

  • Ted

    I think it rather hideous. Way too much going on. And the font is all wrong.

  • JDS

    I wonder how it costs to make these things. Obviously us ordinary folks cannot afford these.

    The card is pretty ugly. I think if Woz had asked Jobs to design his card, I bet the card would have won an Oscar of Business Cards. :=).

    Has anyone see Steve Jobs business card?

    Ugly maybe… but it’s attention grabbing and memorable.

    But I agree, as long as you’re investing in a piece like this you might as well go the extra mile for design, font, etc. selection.

    That is one seriously ugly business card. Everything about it. Eek. It looks like it came from a 90′s computer store.
