Feedback on card designs?

BEH

My first post here. I had already graduated from college when I discovered graphic design. I’ve been trying to soak up as much information as possible on my own, and I would really appreciate feedback. Please destroy as much as you want.

These are ideas for cards for my business (an economics firm). They want a general thank you card, which would be used for our clients, primarily colleges and workforce boards. As a bit of explanation, the flourishes on the card with the thank you in the bottom left corner are supposed to be turning into wheatfields (my company is located in a very wheat-ish part of the country).

Preferences? Do none of them work? What tweaking should I do? Oh, and I just noticed that I never fixed the serifs on the bottom of the Y in the calligraphic card. Heh.

Thanks

Sorry about that. I’m afraid I haven’t figured out how to bring the images up directly without linking them.

Hey there. Nice designs! All of them are very different in style impressive. My favorite would have to be the second one (turquoise background) lovely Type treatment! :) Try to play around with that one some more
-Take care.

I truly do love the first one. Just a thought... have you thought about more subdued organic colors? And Can you extend the tail of the y? I think this is wonderful. Just ignore me if you do not agree. Good job!

Edit: No, great job!

Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate your comments. I’ve been working on tweaking the first one by changing the bottom of the card to a soft brown, and the flourishes to white. W
