A company Christmas card photo is a picture of your own team, turned into the front of the card you send to clients, with the greeting and company name designed into the photo. Clients remember a card that shows the people they actually deal with more than a stock snowman. In this example, the crew and ground staff of a small floatplane airline lined up on the dock for a coworker's phone, and the office wanted that photo on this year's client card.
What changed in this photo, and what stayed the same?
- Added: "Merry" in a red script and "Christmas" in large red serif capitals, a small gold snowflake above, fine gold rules on both sides, and "From the crew at Castrel Air" in gold below.
- Added for the season: light falling snow over the whole scene, and a slightly deeper grey sky so the red lettering and the snow stand out.
- Placed: in the empty sky above the hills, clear of every head and beanie.
- Kept: all eight people, their faces, jackets and hats, the floatplane, the dock and the water.
Who uses this?
- Small businesses sending printed or emailed cards to clients and suppliers.
- Teams and departments posting a holiday greeting on the company website or social pages.
- Offices printing a framed team photo as a year-end gift for staff.
Do you need to design the card yourself?
No. Send the exact words and the occasion; the editor reads the photo first, the open space, the colors already there, the mood, and designs the lettering to fit. Here the red echoes the floatplane's paint. If you need "Happy Holidays" or "Season's Greetings" instead, or your logo, just say so.
What should you send?
The original team photo, every line exactly as it should appear, your logo file if you want one, and the card size, for example 5 by 7 inches. A photo with some open sky or plain wall above the group works best. The file is delivered digitally; check your print shop's size and bleed rules before ordering.
