Admit Ones: Landscape or Portrait?
"Admit One's should be printed long-ways, not with the short edge at the top." Discuss.

No. 438 in a long line of almost interesting controversies.

You could argue that Admit One's should be printed in landscape format, they're much more aesthetically pleasing that way. Of course some people might argue the other way; they're easier to hand over to the lady at the desk short-end first.

Interested to hear what other people think.

*sets up popcorn stall, sends assistant down to bank for change for float*

You've missed the important point of which side the card should be printed - the front or the back.

For goodness sakes, why don't you read what I actually wrote, instead of what you think I said.

I actually wrote a polite version of this message but decided to post the rude one instead.

Re: Admit Ones: Landscape or Portrait?
I think admit ones should not be printed landscape. Too easy to confuse them with business card....

Re: Admit Ones: Landscape or Portrait?
The really big question is... what colour should they big, with the secondary issue of which style of font to use.

And credit card size is so boring don't you think? Surely Admit Ones should be larger so you don't try to hand over your Visa or Amex card by mistake - they are too special and important just to be kept in a wallet with all your other plastic.

Re: Admit Ones: Landscape or Portrait?
This is the kind of thread I read the forum for - in depth, serious discussion of the really important issues in today's complex Ceroc world. (totally straight face) Keep up the good work, ESG.

Re: Admit Ones: Landscape or Portrait?
All this fiddling about with card ... so C20th.

Ceroc should tatoo people on the neck with "3D bar codes", use biometrics, or implant microprocessors in people's necks, then just update the "central" database with: admit one's, inclination to dance with beginners, etc, so when the punter arrives their dance experience and bill can be uniquely tailored to their personal requirements and credit status.

Get with the programme.

How can you possibly criticise the admit one cards? They are the best and most consistent out of all the dance organisations.

Some people will just grab any chance to slag off Ceroc...

I've now had my milk and cookies, and I'm about to be put down for my afternoon nap, but when I wake up I've decided to change my mind because my thinking on this matter has been all flawed.

Re: Admit Ones: Landscape or Portrait?
Why is asking if something should be in portrait or landscape being seen as a criticism of the item itself? Am I missing something?

What you don't realise is the subtext - ESG talking about landscape v.s. portrait is clearly a veiled attempt to imply that the admit one cards are all "Ceroc clones". Next he'll be saying they're all mass produced in a factory...

They are not. They're hand (beak?) scribed by a flock of specially trained consistent parrots.

Obviously some slippage occurs, especially in those that have been out of training for six months or more. They can't all be good.

Personally I think that they should be a small tattoo on the back of the hand, done when I joined.
