Business Card Design Brief

I am a high school math teacher and I would like a business card design that I can use as a classroom reward ticket. Students will earn the cards for making A's on tests, good behavior, sharing an interesting idea with the class, etc. Then, the students can cash in the cards to buy candy, homework passes, and such. The design really only needs a title somewhere on it, "Name________" blank, a place for me to initial (to authenticate it - I don't want a whole stack stolen.. I'll initial as I hand them out), and some graphics to make it look fun. A "Date _____" blank is ok to if something else is needed to balance out the design, but it's not essential. I'm going to tell students to write their name in the blank in ink as soon as they earn the ticket to prevent theft. Also for this reason, I'm planning for the tickets to be consumable - I'll only use each one once, then tear and put in the trash - so it's important that the design be cost effective for ordering many (no raised ink or metallic, please - just a standard business card). That being said, it's essential that the design cannot easily be counterfeited, so maybe some kind of watermark or graphic that doesn't scan or copy well would solve this problem. As far as the graphics and design, my last name is Springer, so I was thinking the students might really enjoy "Springer's Star Bucks." The coffee shop is popular with my students' age group, so I thought they might like the play on words. I definitely don't want to infringe on the Starbucks trademark, though. I do like green, and green is associated with "bucks"/money. Since it's a "star" buck, I'd love to see some stars incorporated into the design. Also, remember, this is a math classroom (algebra), so some math symbols could be really cool, too. The most important thing about the graphics is to keep my age group in mind (most are 15 years old). If it looks like it's for little kids, they won't buy in to the reward system. Something modern and fresh would be better for teenagers. I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
