1. Use Branded Social Icons
Designed by PauPau Design For Helena Feofanov

This business card features simple social media icons to match the artistic style. In this design, the icons are mirrored next to each other, with a nice contrast between the classic serif font and the illustrated icons.
4. Make Your Card a Link to Your Social Profile
Designed by Antonio Garcia Aprea for personal branding
This card uses the Twitter icon as a scannable QR code, which directs people to follow you on social media when they scan it. Here, the message “Follow Me” becomes an actionable part of the design.
5. Keep it Super Simple
Designed by Tamer Koseli for cisimdesign
Simple often works best. This card uses clean lines and icons only to match the minimalist design and logo. It’s not over-crowded with text, but still clearly indicates which social media platforms to use for contact.
6. Give People What They Know
We’re all familiar with the logos of the biggest social media channels. This design retains the branded colors of the social networks so recipients can instantly figure out which platform each handle is for.
7. Make it Purely Social

A unique and eye-catching design for a business card looks like a cell phone contact book. This layout could be useful when you have a lot of social media sites to share.
9. Pick Your Social Channels Wisely
Designed by Shuyue Gong for personal branding
Sometimes there is only one social media channel that you use. A great way to highlight important contact information is with a simple, clean design.
10. Keep it Colorful
This design utilizes multiple colors, but retains the brand image. Each icon is differentiated by a color that matches the logo, instead of their typical colors.
This keeps the design consistent while also making sure the social media icons are recognizable to the recipient.
