The Luxe Project

Great designs for great causes

This month's designs: HOW Clever and Letter Love

Two designers, two very different Luxe packs. HOW Clever are brilliant ice-breakers featuring a unique design and a “How?” networking question (for the slightly shy among you!) PRINT’s Letter Love shares their love of letters with a series of energetic and colorful designs in red, white and black. Order the entire alphabet, spell a word or choose your monogram to customize your pack.

This month's designer: HOW and PRINT

HOW

This month, we have two designers – HOW and PRINT. HOW began life in the eighties as a graphic design magazine, and evolved over the years to encompass online design courses, books and more to educate and inspire would-be designers. PRINT is a bi-monthly magazine founded in 1940, dedicated to showcasing the extraordinary both on and off the page. Though coming from different angles, both publications’ work explores the environment we live in, and why aesthetics matter.

This month's charity: Epic

Epic

Chigago-based EPIC (IAmEpic.org) empowers creative people to make social change a reality. They organize 8 week, collaborative creative rallies, where volunteers are hand picked from the advertising and design industries and paired with non-profit clients dedicated to education, children and families. It’s a genuinely exciting venture, which gives creative a chance to give back by utilizing their skills, while the non-profits get the creative boost they need to make a real local impact.

What makes Luxe Cards so great?

Compared to most ordinary Business Cards, Luxe are the gold standard of paper quality at 600gsm/32pt, everyone who receives one will experience a quality and weight like no other card.

Luxe was designed by our Product Designer Paul Thorogood to be the ultimate conversation starter. With that in mind, we invented a technology called Quadplex, (entirely unique to MOO) so that Luxe cards could look as spectacular as they feel.

KidYeah!
April 2013

Small talk isn't easy - especially for a first meeting. So let your cards leave a lasting impression for you. Hand over a friendly message – rendered in a cheery typeface – and you won’t have to say a word.

Sagmeister & Walsh
March 2013

There’s a Business Card message for everyone you meet with these fun, cheeky – and sometimes rude – Business Cards. But you can’t edit these – so they’re not for the faint-hearted!

MOO Designers
January 2013

Vibrant ink dropped into water – and photographed. It’s such a simple idea and yet creates such incredibly effective and striking results. These cards are simply unforgettable– with your initials in the center.

Brian Flynn
November 2012

Inspired by his best-selling poster "Haunted House", Brian Flynn takes us inside to explore the interior. The patterns on these ghostly cards are his interpretation of the haunted house's custom wallpapers. Spooky!

Helen Friel
October 2012

Inspired by Oliver Byrne's version of Euclid's Elements, these designs are a modern interpretation. She uses her expertise to turn the grandfather of mathematics’ working into beautiful diagrams.

Pattern & Color
Sean Adams
July 2012

Inspired by the sculpture of Harry Bertoia, and the colour palettes of Saul Bass, these cards are all joy and delight. Hand one to a prospective client, and hopefully you’ll make them smile as well as want to work with you.

Tiny Papers, Big World
Katie Barcelona
May 2012

Katie’s pack was inspired by a lifelong passion for travel (which in turn was inspired by a lifelong desire to escape her small town roots.) She stumbled upon a box of vintage cigarette papers in a flea market in Barcelona – and here they are!

Camera: negativ
Dan Rubin
April 2012

Dan’s pack was inspired by a pet project he’s been working on – etching his personal collection of vintage film cameras. A lover of photography, film and product design, he jumped at the chance to explore the many sides of a camera.

Card of Hearts
Michael Osborne
February 2012

The Golden Age of Hollywood finds its home on Luxe paper, thanks to award winning designer Michael Osborne. He uses classic poses from some of the silver screen’s most iconic faces to create a pack of stunning Business Cards.
