Green City Business Card

Green City Business Card

Sagmeister Inc., New York, New York, 1996

Description

This is a business card for a gardener specializing in roof terraces in New York City. It prints one color on recycled stock — as simple and cheap as it gets.

The logo design is a fairly cheap trick as well, just combining two clichés (tree = green, Empire State Building = New York).

I was surprised that such a distinguished panel of judges picked this card for inclusion in the annual. I now think that our solution was fairly trite. The really eco-sensitive solution would have been no business card at all — does a gardener really need one?
