The point of the scene is that they are all the same and they're psychopaths fighting over tiny differences, so should just be Skyrim, Skyrim SE and Skyrim Anniversary.

Unless you're arguing that all modern Fallout games play exactly the same. If that's the case, well played.

Not a fan of the textured ones, but I have to agree that Allen's is the best simply because of the off-white color. Although I do appreciate the embossing on Bateman's card and believe it would be the superior card if it had that coloring.

Merida, again
Can't say which one was the best, but Allen's card was the most "simple" of the bunch and you could say the one that stood out the most. While all of them where just variations of the same, with small differences to try to one up the other, Allen's card is different enough in that it does not bother with "extras". This "different" is what caused Bateman to sweat and even start to think Allen was better. Personally I prefer Allen's and Bryce's. Bateman's is like that kid that adds all the extra shit that he thinks is cool.

Bateman's also has very nice typography, I especially like the telephone number. But it may be too nice.

I fucking hate that. The different sizes feels to me like nails scratching on a chalkboard

I hate how most of numbers are placed in his card, it's like the guy couldn't keep the card in place while printing it.

It's old style typography. It makes sense to use it in body text (e.g. in a book), it has better legibility. But yes, it looks a little odd when the numerals are separated from the text like that.

Anyway, these different business cards make no sense, in a company like this every card would have the same design, typography, paper etc. It's part of the company image/identity.

Well, they're placed correctly, it's just that they're not lining figures. They're called text figures and are designed to look somewhat like lower-case letters. But it is an odd choice to use them in a small caps only design.

If the lower two chains of numbers were people I'd have to resist the urge to commit a hate crime.
