In order to show off its new [square business card designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-business-cards), MOO designed a series of fun cards that might be professionally used by Superman, Heisenberg, Catwoman and Dr. Hyde. On the flip side, these new square cards are presented side-by-side some fairly conventional [rectangular business cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartpress), representing the identities that these individuals use to go under the radar.

MOO imagines that by day, Walter White might use a simple card showing off his profession as a high school teacher. By night, White trades in this card for a square one printed with that iconic [Heisenberg sketch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-outfit), a phone number and text that almost menacingly reads: "Say my name." Although all of the business card designs are fun, the square business cards are really standout.
