8+ Credit Card Designs

Credit card design—from design conception to the actual task of drawing them using either a pen or stylus—is a task often relegated to established design teams who already have a reputation in the corporate world. Mere freelance graphic artists do not routinely get credit card design assignments or job offers. And there are different reasons for this. A few are (1) there are limited number of banks and credit card offerings available and (2) banks are traditional institutions and will often hire the same set of designers or even just let their internal graphic team do the job.

If you belong to any of the groups of people mentioned above and you happen to find this article, then you are most likely looking for credit card design inspiration. If that is the case, then you have come to the right corner of the Internet.

In this article, we attempt to provide comprehensive information about credit card design and also provide actual examples of these designs. Feel free to read and/or skim through the subtopics.
