Description:

This collectible phone card, labeled the "THANK YOU CALLING CARD," is a visually striking artifact designed by Vince Mattua, a VM Design Consultant. Dated 01/94, it marks its production in early 1994. The card features a split-color background that transitions from a deep blue at the top to a lighter blue at the bottom, creating a gradient that highlights its key elements. At the top-left corner, bold red and white text reads "THANK YOU CALLING CARD." To the right, the VM logo stands out with a dramatic red-to-yellow gradient 'V' and 'M,' intertwined with Vince Mattua’s signature scripted overlay, adding a bespoke design touch. Beneath the logo, the words "DESIGN CONSULTANT" reinforce the professional branding. This card is more than decorative; it signifies connections to multiple corporate entities and organizations, serving as an effective networking and branding tool.

Most of the card’s surface is dedicated to showcasing a diverse array of logos from prominent companies and local institutions in the Marina del Rey area, capturing a snapshot of community and corporate partnerships from the 1990s. Notable among these are the California Yacht Club, featuring an elegant flag on a mast that evokes maritime sophistication. Adjacent is the ASA logo, with sleek, geometric red and blue swooshes that reflect nautical roots. Further down, the "Gold’s Gym" logo appears in bold, gold lettering, symbolizing strength and fitness, while Mount St. Mary’s College is represented by its official seal and stylized text, emphasizing education and tradition. The Marriott logo also features prominently, with its bright red cursive font conveying hospitality and upscale comfort.

Additional logos further enrich the card’s narrative. Hebert Management Associates is displayed in a clean, professional font within a simple box, suggesting a focus on business and corporate services. The Marina del Rey Area Chamber of Commerce is depicted with a vibrant graphic of a sailboat against a sunset or sunrise over water, reflecting the coastal, maritime identity of the community. The 241 Pizza logo, often written as "241 Pizza," "2-4-1 Pizza," or "2 4 1 Pizza," is playful with red and green tones, evoking casual dining or delivery services. The presence of these varied logos highlights the card’s role as a versatile branding tool, connecting users to a broad spectrum of local and corporate entities.
