Who had the best business card Yea Forums?

Allen > Bateman > Bryce > Vanpatten

Bryce was a top bro for pretending to appreciate those other two awful cards.

Van Patten > Bryce > Bateman > Allen

PAUL
ALLEN

objectively Timothy Bryce dubs confirm

How the fuck were they all vice president?

In the banking world, you're either a clerk or a VP. Seriously, everyone with more than 5 years exp is a vp

Patten has the best font, Bryce has the best material, Bateman has the best colour, and Allen's card is shit because he has to use two lines instead of just one for his contact info.

oh my god it has a watermark

How many vice presidents does this company have

Definitely Paul Allen

the ampersand on Bateman's is too close to the second 'Pierce'

Allen > Bateman > VanPatten > Bryce

Paul Allen. Serif a shit.

No the joke is that Bryce and Patten retained that "more is more" mentality that usually lower class people have. Bateman is frustrated at this because he's egotistical and wants to show off his refined tastes, but it's pointless because the people he's showing off to have poor tastes (they think the shitty parchement texture looks good) and therefore actually think less of him for it. The complete opposite of what Bateman intended.

Allen's card has subtle Serif notes if you look at a high res image.

Should a company really have four vice presidents?

Bryce's card gives no indication of a more-is-more mentality. Why would he go for barely (if at all, its hard to tell) embossed helvetica if that were the case? It's the most minimalist card by far.

take a look at at any bank/lending institution on linkedin, click around on titles. a "vice president" in their world is essentially a department manager for normal ego people.

Pretty sure they aren't actually vice presidents. Depending on your job some companies are fine if you say you're higher up so the client has more trust in you. Like I just work at a liquor store but they're fine with us referring to ourselves as managers, in case the manager isn't on that day and you have people asking "can i speak to the manager".

Do high level businessmen like them care this much about their cards in real life?

Well they have to leave room for Patten to one-up it so they apply the most noticeable change to Bryce's first (the texture), then along comes Pattern with the weird and bold font. Bryce then agrees that Pattens is better which suggests he actually dislikes the minimalism that his own card has despite it being better.

How do Brycefags excuse that disgusting font?

Knew a cunt of a banker in the City of London who made me realise American Psycho was based on real people. They cared about everything that didn't need to cared about. Honestly the most reviled boring specs of life you could imagine. I am jealous of the amount of money he and his 'friends' earned though.

meant for

Helvetica is the most ubiquitous typeset of the western world, you goof. Besides that, Bryce knows that his and every other P&P card is inherently unremarkable and without character and his minimalism embodies that with confidence.

paul allen

It doesn't even have serifs. He will never get a table at the Dorsia.

Nobody goes there anymore.

Also how rude of me, checked those repeating integers.

It needs senior or executive in front of it to actually mean anything.

Allen's card is the only one thag actually draws attention to the name rather than the card. Batemens embossed font, the others textured, Allen's card is perfect

Most companies do not give you a choice to customize your card like this.

My card is better but maybe these have the '80 feelings...they remember me of my how my dad cards used to be.

Allen>bateman>Bryce>Patten

how come the cards are literally identical minus the coloring and font tho?? how can they all be VPs?

Why the changed the names from the book?

Oh shit you're right.

While the doubled line on a the bottom is a little tacky it works decently enough since his name is small by comparison and the font choice is as subtle as it needs to be.

Think I wouldn't sprung for some gold trim though.

You'd better believe it.

Kevin Mitnick also has a nice one.

Bateman and Bryce have too much blank space at the top so Allen > Van Patten > Bateman > Bryce

It speaks to the degree at which Bateman is obsessed with this kind of insignificant minutiae.

The only way they could've made it more like the book would be spending another 7 minutes on it.

His morning routine alone is practically a chapter in itself a three pages in you're asking yourself what the fuck you're even reading.

I love that whole chapter when they waste 2 hours at telephone because they cant decide what restaurant to go to dinner. Book is brillant.

I think in finance everyone is a VP but if you're important you're a Senior Executive or some bullshit

i cant see the watermark

I wish that the guy who did this series did the whole movie

Careful gramps you might have a heart attack.

>earned

As far as adaptions go it's way up there. Female director really nailed the tone but it's easy to imagine just how far south it could've gone in the hands of someone else.

paul allens card is the best, why did everyone else try fit all the information at the bottom onto one line?

Huh, learn something new everyday here.

better optical rhythm
t. flunked out of design school

the murders are insane in the book. also I like the entire chapters dedicated to music review. something movie gets really close to without perfecting

on a good day, it can be my favorite movie ever

I should add that font also refers to weight and size of a particular typeface, not just the file format, which is not mentioned in the image.

>this fucking thread again
>for the 14,871st time
>the answer is still Timothy BRYCE

does Dorsia even exist? Paul Allen was obviously lying about having reservations there, right? we never see any evidence for his many claims.

>all these plebs saying Allen
Copperplate Gothic is an amateur choice. Bateman unironically has the best for using the most patrician serif font.

Van Patten's card is terrible and I share Bateman's dismay.

>serif
>patrician
What is this, the 19th century?

Bateman's is frustratingly offset to the left, the phone number is scrambled off of it's line in places, and there isn't a space between the ampersand and the second "Pierce". Those are just objective design flaws. From my own perspective, the bottom margin is too low (admittedly shared with Bryce) and the deepness of the embossing is pretentious and betrays a lack of confidence.

guess who asshole

most VP’s at banks aren’t customer facing. There’s a lot of VP’s but many facets to running a bank so it’s highly compartmentalized. The VP’s, although there are many of them, have plenty of executive authority, though Seniors and “execs” obviously have even more.

Allen

why are their last name’s capitalized?

Gothic is a fad.

Paul Allen. Check it.

>have plenty of executive authority
To do what for instance? This is all very interesting. I'd like to know more.

to catch your eye, in theory.

Zagat is a real thing.

A thirty year old fad?

there’s a ton of calls that have to be made on a daily or weekly business and you have to be able to trust people who are mostly proven to not be retards to make them. There are small things like what type of info you should include on monthly statements to big things like which software vendor won’t absolutely fuck up the system that keeps track of all our clients’ mortgages. Most people who work at the bank, managers and down are just pions whose decisions don’t really move the needle. Once you get that “VP” in your title it’s a big deal for almost all FDIC backed institutions.

Van Patten
Allen's is the worst for using Copperplate Gothic and having abysmal use of negative space
/gd/ would annihilate you for this

I hate seeing that fucking shit everywhere I go. If it's not that, it's Brush Script. Or Hobo. Oh, how I loathe Hobo.

Fascinating. How do you know all this?

Not that guy, but have you ever held a full time job?

I worked for really successful bank that was small enough to allow me to see how everything worked but big enough and competent enough to steal clients from the JPMC’s & Wells Fargo’s of the world. My dad is either one of these aforementioned VPs or Sr. VPs, I forget which, and has been in banking all his life so I’ve been listening to it all for 20+ years.

what clients does a bank actually have? just dudes with a fuckton of money?

m-maybe. But I mean like, he knows a lot about banking shit, i was wondering if that's what he does.

>bateman
- awkward space at the top of the card
- the address below isn't centered properly and veers off to the left

>allen
- probably the best card

>bryce and van patten
- weird texture to their cards
- mergers and aquisitions and their titles (vice president) in lower case
- bryce suffers from same awkward centering

luis carrathers had the worst card though of all

But Bryce is the worst in that list.

I hate that re-reading it last time i had to jump most of his tortures. I remember reading it in my 20 did not affect me at all. Kinda sucks to grow older apparently...still one of my fav book btw.

he's also the only one who rates van patten's card

If you have a very high IQ, you know it's that gay dudes card.

This has happened to me with a bunch of stuff, things that I thought nothing of back in 2007 are just too uncomfortable for me now.

>his card fits in a rolodex

Okay let's be real
Did Paul Allen ACTUALLY get a table at Dorsia or was he just bullshitting about it like Bateman was?

Pretty much. Our particular bank’s model is to focus only on people who are making like 100k and above - they make the checking and savings accounts pretty expensive - but plenty of the bigger banks are focused on the filthy rich too. They’ll do a mortgage and then the relationship manager, or RM, will see their tax returns / statements and essentially say “yowza! How’s about putting some of that money in our fancy mutual fund or checking account?” Then they take that money and invest it in other stuff. When those rich people buy other houses, cars, student loans, etc they hope to profit off those too, essentially trying to carve themselves out a portion of their clients future & lifetime earnings if they play their cards right.

Of course Bateman has the best business card. Also I have the best identical numerals.

e.g. the bank I’m referring to has Aaron Rodgers, Mark Zuckerberg, a few other higher ups as clients. Lots of pro athletes for some reason.

Dorsia doesn't even exist:

Why don't you get dubs? I'm sorry user but I just don't have anything in common with you.

But Patrick called them
Who was laughing at him at the other end of the phone if Dorsia isn't real? The reason we never see Dorsia is that nobody goes there anymore.

I'm into murders and executions

you can't be certain that anything Bateman experiences is actually happening

unironically bateman

Helvetica is goat but it's quickly becoming bastardized trying to make it work with higher and higher dpi and mobile shit.

It was never meant to be compact and it seriously hurts the readability being thin and tall instead of wider and bold.

Just read a book.
All this brand and shit. This was painful.

I tried but the book was insanely boring.

In the book Pat go to Dorsia because his younger brother manage to preorder a table. Fuck, a scene in the movie with Bale and that Dawson creek fag at Dorsia would've made this movie a kino beyond comprehension.

I don't think he meant he saw them on business cards. I refuse to believe anyone is stupid enough to print that. I think he means seeing them on things like business marquees, which I've also seen a fair share of using typefaces-obviously-found-on-the-default-adobe-illustrator-library-package. That's the vibe it always gives me at least.

Are both personalities faggots beyond belief or at least one is bearable?

Company name. 4 different fonts.
Isn't a company name a logo? So it should look the same on all 4 cards?

might have been influenced by the book. Bret Easton Ellis apparently made sure that everyone's outfits were hilariously mismatched and tacky

You need to be over 18 to post on this board.

It's Bryce for sure. That raised lettering. The pale nimbus white. The Helvetica font is certainly the most contemporary of the cards presented. More tastefully textured that Van Pattens, patrician taste.

Bryce will you fuck off?

I'll be going to NYC later this year, and I want to visit the restaurant from the movie, Dorcia. But looking it up, it seems to be a few restaurants by that name, and all italian family restaurants, newly opened, some not in Manhattan at all? Which one is it?

Why doesn't Bateman's card say 'Murders and Executions'

Because that's a hobby, not his job.

It's made up.

where's the /biz/ shitcoin webm version of this?

I worked as a sales slave at a regular ass electronics store and all my coworkers played out this scene when we got new cards.

I'm sorry, while his card is fairly good, and you got dubs, Allen's is the superior card, see

In Finance/Banking, Vice President is pretty much just a title. It's just one of the many titles that you will get based on seniority. While major firms differ, the chain of command usually goes:

Analyst

1-Allen
2-Patrick
3-Timothy
4-David
