I've got two sets of cards: One set that I designed before I got my job that says "PhoenixAzul, Museum Professional, address, phone, e-mail, website." The back of the cards feature images from my photography portfolio (I used www.moo.com for them, and I can't recommend them enough). Another set are my boring work ones that have the logo and my work contact info. If I'm out making personal connections or in a situation where it would be inappropriate to give my work card, I give the other one. In some work situations I give both. I always have them with me, and I'm shameless about giving them out. Shameless.

Thanks for the moo plug, because I just checked them out and think they look far better than other suggestions I've gotten for my show announcements. Are they quick?

I like this whole idea. It's genuinely never occurred to me but I think I might have some made for both social and academic situations. Sounds like a great way to stand out a little.

Yes, I found their turnaround to be very quick, and I get a load of compliments on the cards I designed there. Their in-house design thing on their website is fantastic and easy to use. Plus, I chipped in the extra $2 and got the recycled ones. I'm a dork.

My work ones are just so boring (and ugly), but they're still my work ones, so I have to have them.
