Maybe something like "Read the Principia Discordia online FREE at principiadiscordia.com". Or maybe something that forces them to google it.

Like "Looking for questions? Try Discordianism."

"Discordia; we don't pretend to have answers."

"Hail Eris; All Hail Discordia."


My experience has been that when people are presented with a strange and mysterious card, they tend to carry it around and show it to their friends. Putting the URL on it might strip it of mystery and reduce that effect.

Anything that says "you just got Cram'd" will lead Googlers here. "We don't get it either" is my favorite one, though, and there's nothing on it that would lead a Googler here.

I like that, it'd bring in more curious types.

"Looking for questions? Try Discordianism."
This one, I think, would go best with that card.


ETA: I added the apple because I realized that nothing about the card directly led to discordianism without it.

I STILL have cards in my wallet that don't make any sense. "Husky or Maltese Whatever" is my favorite (turns out to be a restaurant on Powell. Really.
http://www.yelp.com/biz/husky-or-maltese-whatever-portland check out those reviews!)

with my second favorite being just a white card with the name "Maurice." on it in red. It is the calling card of a friend of a friend.

"Maurice." Tiny red print, dead center. Brilliant.

Do you have that image in a larger size? I think I actually want to order some cards.

The image of EoC alone?

ETA: Eh, no that's the only one. I can whip another bigger one if you'd like. How big? With text?

Exactly like the one you made, Applek and everything, but about 1600 pixels tall? I can make it smaller, but making it bigger leads to fuzziness and pixellation. I can put my own text on the back of the card.

Hey these are cool!! I think anything that adds to the mystery. Even something that is common and has more reference to the Principia, like golden apple, or Hail Eris, Hail Discordia.

I don't think it'd be a good idea to link them directly to the Principia, only those who search get to find it through Ye Olde Google

Eh..I'm winging it with teh photoshop. Inches would be preferable. Or very specific pixel parameters.

Never mind I think I can get it.

Okay, here's a larger version, double standard business card size.
I'll just do these at this size from now on.



I wanna add, I laughed my ASS OFF making this one.

The proportions are off from the original, but I'm terrible at details like that.

OK, Vistaprint is a real bugger about hiding this info! They specify 3.54" x 2.05", or 1062 x 615 pixels. It can be larger as long as the proportions remain the same.

Small problem. The image is still too small for printing; it needs to be at least 300 dpi to print clearly at business-card size. I hate to be a bother, but I really love this image and I'll totally send you some cards when they get here, if you can make it even bigger. :) Oh, and with a little more space above the text so it doesn't get cropped off?
