Which one is best?
The one that is TASTEFULLY THICC.

>>215995495missing one
>>215995495lets see paul owen's card
>>215995495Paul Allen's card by far. The font is the best regarding the name and position, the borders are just wide enough, the small caps are still tall enough to not distract your eye. Patrick's font choice is really bad there, the ATRICK is way too tiny, and his card puts more emphasis on his own name rather than Pierce & Pierce. Timothy Bryce's card is boring, bland- boring font, ugly horizontal stippling on the paper, something you'd make for a PTA meeting in Paint Shop Pro. Van Patten's is less offensive than Patrick's, but the choice of a bold typeface doesn't play nice with his two-part last name.Also, Allen's card is the only one to put the address, fax and telex numbers on two lines instead of one, which gives the entire card a satisfying pyramid shape to the text and lets Pierce & Pierce remain as the standout piece of information along the right edge.
>>215995495The one that correctly spells "acquisitions."
>>215996210i saw what you did
>>215996186ironic
>>215995495
>>215996266this is magnificent
>>215996224Typing the wrong word when pointing out a misspelling isn't ironic.
>>215995495Is this a real thing that 90s businessmen stressed or was this made up movie bullshit like the thing with the garlic?
>>215995495It is funny this is treated as such a frivolous thing, but they are pretty different and also Patrick's is the best
>>215995495Allen>Bryce>Bateman>Patten
>>215997433Bryce is easily the worst. Shit list.

>>215995495In reality you have to be holding the cards because half of what makes a business card cool is the texture and weight. But off looks alone, Paul Allens card is clean and easily legible, and uses a line break in the address, and periods to make the phone number easier to read. I personally don't like rough textured cards like Van Pattens and Bryce's. Text should always be on a clean smooth background. Bryce's is the a disaster. Easily the worst
>>215995495For me, it's Paul Allen
>>215995495Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God... it even has a watermark.
>>215996210Holy shit.I work in a legal setting and lawyers cannot spell for the life of them.
>>215995495Why did Bateman think his looked good? More like American idiot.
My Leh Brothers card was like that. Companies actually had class pre-2008. Everyone had to wear a tie.
I prefer Van PattenUppercase VAN is a problem though
Check em
>>215996328It is. Just terrific.
>>215998076oof. Off by one.
>>215995495paul allen, check my 6
>>215998231that is in fact the joke
>>215998203Oh yeah, I'm very lucky.
Why wouldn’t the company standardize the cards for their employees?
>>215998692You usually get a little leeway to make it your own. A few different cardstocks, fonts, slight layout variations, etc.
>>215998692Pierce & Pierce
>>215995495I like non-lining numerals so i would appreciate that about the first onealso the text seems nicely indented so that's a plus
this reminds me that i need to order more cards, thx
>>215995495why do they all have the same phone number?
>>215995495Patrick Bateman's card is the best.
>>215995495David Van Patten, period.
>>215995495Bateman’s card is quite awful, the numbers are not in line with the letters and the ampersand is off center, Allen’s is brutally tasteful in comparison.
>>215995495Paul AllenBryce has the worst followed by Van Patten.
>>215998053The tiny & is a problem too
>>215995495they're all terrible, that's the point
>>216000085Let's see anon's card,
>>215995495Bateman's has SEVEN fucking different fonts. It's a goddamn mess. The numbers aren't aligned. There's a missing space at the "&" top right.Allen's is clean, simple, and efficient. One thing I really like is that the address and fax are split into two separate lines for easier reading.
>>215995495Texture is cringe, makes it look like it was made out of linen or some shit, so the bottom 2 are out.Bateman's looks like it was chiseled with a toothpick on a bar of soap. So allen wins.
>>215995495AllenBatemanBryceVan Patten
>>215996937It's a metaphor for the vapidity and soullessness of yuppie consumerist tier-based culture The whole point is that Bateman's delusions and him worrying about completely meaningless shit like slight differences between serif fonts and white tones is because of how utterly pointless his life is. That's also why every single other character in the scene is just another Bateman, they're all the exact fucking same. They're soulless robots with zero humanity
>>216000346see, people just don't understand that capitalism is the villainhow many times to we have to scream it in their ears until they get it through their thick fucking skulls
>>216000448Not capitalism retardThe movie isn't just "capitalism bad", it's specifically mocking idiots who waste their lives trying to get high spots in a company and basically live through work out of greed and prideJust fucking go outside, get some hobbies, go do a trek or something, ANYTHING that has some soul to it and brings joy to the spirit, not just prancing around showing off your new Mustang and silk tie
>>216000448Jews are the villian
>>215995495the joke is that the cards, like the men themselves, are nearly identical and Bateman's inferiority complex is perceiving flaws that are not there and driving him insane
>>215995495I like the texture on Van Patten's card
>>215999876It's a big law firm. The cute blonde who answers the phone knows all their extensions.
>>215995495Van Patten's is the best imo. Bateman's font is too old school/nerdy, Allen's is too modern/sleazy, Bryce's just sucks.
>>216000528Flaws that aren't there? There are spelling mistakes, text sloppily justified, different font sizes on the same lines...
>>216000486what if that stuff brings you joy
>>216000528>flaws that are not thereif you're not viscerally disgusted by bryce and van patten's cards you are a pleb
>Second oneFriend who doesn't know anything about this film, or many films. Literally watched Good Will Hunting for the first time just two nights ago. Completely unbiased take.We all knew it was Paul Allen, and that settles it
AllenPattenBatemanBryce
they're all gay and boring. Completely pedestrian outside of their specific circle jerk
>>216000346Slightly disagreement. The other guys noticeably don't care as much.
>>215995495why do the bateman and bryce cards have this excessive padding from the top? it’s distracting. (my vote goes to van patten)
Paul Allen's because the address isn't a disgusting jumbled run-on with the contact numbers. Bateman and Bryce have strange lop-sided margins at the tops. Van Patten's has too much texture and looks like a Centrelink card.
>>215995495Paul Allen's, but Bateman's is a close second. Bateman's might win out if it wasn't for the font shitting the bed with the numbers.But the ACTUAL answer here is that they're all bad because their firm doesn't have a set style guide. At the very least, the firm's name (logo?) should be identical on all four cards. It looks slapdash when all four are presented together. And I guess that's part of the point - they're all competing individually over petty shit, rather than caring about the company as a whole.
>>215995495Let's see Paul Anon's /v/animal thread.
>>215995495paul allen's organizes the info at the bottom a bit betteraddress first, then fax and telex
Paul Allen > Patric Dubsman >>>>> power gap >>>>> the other two in whatever order because both suck for having texture

>>215995495paul's card is smoother.the other ones are way to indented. and van patien's card looks weird with the texturing.
>>216000448Capitalism isn't the villain though. There's literally nothing about it that inherently makes people act like this, it's human nature.
