Borrowed concept...

Hm, does this really pass as a business-card? it's rather a give-away which is advertising. the strategy is clever, but a lawyer should be more discrete i guess. those expicit pictograms and that colour whould make me feel exploited

Unless you leave the business cards at the lawyer's own reception area for people to take, or if the lawyer gives them out in a business context... But to leave them at motels? This is advertising no matter how you cut it.

You're right. This is advertising, no doubt about it. Hence, this ambient piece is illegal. But when I think about it, I actually like illegal things...

Sorry but this does nothing for me. I´ve seen many genious business card ideas, but it takes more than this.

I think its a pretty damn good business card for a lawyer. you can't compair a lawyer's business card to any other business card out there (apples and oranges). i don't know about you, but i've never seen any good creative for a lawyer before...at least around here.

Yeah, well as they state in the description, lawyers aren't allowed to advertise. So, question here is: is that really a business-card or just advertising titled "business-card". I'm with the second

how about this one (a divorce lawyer business card): it was like "split" on the exact middle (these lines they put for you to cut, you know?), and had the exact same information in both sides... hahahahaa. I loved it, don't remember country or agency but it was very very good.

Actually, there is one lawyer's business card that I feel is pretty damn good. I can't remember where I saw it, and hope I do it justice with this explanation:

This card at first glance looks like any normal business card. But there's a perforated line in the middle that splits the card in half. And I seem to remember that the business info was repeated, one on each side of the perforation.

As for this card up here, I feel that the concept is weak. To put your business info on the back of a condom package, and then to place the condoms at a motel is a media placement idea. Concept-wise, from affairs to condoms and from affairs to divorce, well, yes there is some form of a link, but to me, it's a very weak link.

Anyhoo, the lawyer apparently got more business calls out of this idea. It did the job, we can't fault that.
