 This is a trivial appliation for Context, but a useful one.
 
 I plan on designed some business cards, but am new to Context. 
 
 My idea to to have a logo image in the upper left hand corner, with the 
 company name to the right of it.   This would be two block elements at the 
 top of the card.
 
 In the middle will be the name, and below that the address, tel, etc.

...
 
 Any advice is appreciated.

Several years ago I used ConTeXt to automatically typeset business cards of a 
big company from a CSV file (processed by a small Python script). In this case 
I had logo and background graphics (everything static) together as a PDF that I 
used on a background layer and typeset only name, job title etc. on a per-page 
layer.
