This is my animated businesscard, I designed it after receiving a special book called magic moving images. I learned how to design it myself and developed a special way to make this. The card exist of a outer sleeve with vertical raster and the animated pictures are made in a special way.I made it with a thought to catch more attention then the standard business cards, and ad a bit more interaction between the receiver. Instead of just strict graphic and information, I added a play element because you kind of play with it and make it move. This will catch more attention and make the receiver remember the card better and stand out from the others. Effective logo items are usually the ones that have increased interaction.
To see more picture and also the video look at the full post.
And here is the video first showing an old businesscard to compare and showing the animated cards..Related post

Somebody out there will see this and take it right under your nose.
This is an ingenious idea and could really get you up there.
Could only probably patent how it is build for a business card use. And I am a student and I don't have that much money to buy a patent.
Thanks for the inspiration.
As a professional designer I think I could experiment a bit with my own business card to see if I could go out with something like this.
As for the pattent:
As Chung well said, this idea is pretty old. I am not sure if it patented or free but there are a lot of applications out there.
But Chunk must be credited to implement this in personal marketing (if it's not already implemented before).
Happy to found this blog, anyway.
You have some really clever thinks.
Greetings from Athens, Greece.
Lately, not sure why I seem to get interested in some old design that are kind of faded away.
Somehow I get lucky to discover them and bring them into live a bit.
nice work though and as I've seen it from a couple of places: eg. designer Stefan Sagmeister's Business Card or see this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzmyDR0fnHQ

Carlos Jose if you would be kindly to contact me though my email to talk further on this.
Will go to a press company to let them produce my business card so I can give them to away.

Also he posten stolen the circular design however the circular is my logo, also I think he hasn't seen the vid but only the pictures.
It will definitely be a hit wherever you take it.
As for it being original, the trick has been around for a long time. There have been many other uses for the effect, including this packaging for a hearing aid, most recently:

Still, great design and creative use of the optic effect!
And your animations are so simple yet so sophisticated and effective! I would love it if you could explain your development a little further. Mostly how you came to understand how to make a shape move under the lines?!!!!!
Bravo to you and your work!
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
