If your name and logo are smack dab in the center of your personal card, try moving them all the way over to the left and putting your contact information on the right.
Experiment with Verticals. For example, you may try to print your tagline or name perpendicular to the text on your business card. It is a good way to both make your personal card look out of the ordinary and include all the necessary information.
