STATIONERY

Letterhead, envelopes and business cards

Because they are universally used, stationery and business cards are the foundation of the visual identity program and must adhere to identity guidelines. Artwork of all official stationery and business card formats is available through the Department of University Relations.

All stationery can be printed from authorized artwork on or off campus. Printing of business cards must be obtained through the Department of Purchasing using artwork from the Department of University Relations.

Letterhead and envelopes
Georgia State University letterhead and envelopes print in blue, red and gray on white paper. A mailing address including a mail stop code and phone number are required on letterhead. The official mailing address of most Georgia State units has a mail stop code assigned by and available through Auxiliary Services. The standard format of “By mail” and “In person” is used to differentiate the mailing address from a campus location. In person information and fax numbers are optional on all stationery and business cards.

To enhance the university’s professional image, printed letterhead, not copies, should be used in off-campus communications. Digital letterhead files are available through the Department of University Relations for on-campus memos. Units can also order half- and monarch-sized letterhead with matching envelopes.

Business cards
Business cards are available in standard or large type. Cards with numerous phone numbers or extensive titles and unit names are printed in standard type to accommodate the amount of information. “In person” information is optional on business cards.

Other stationery
Standard forms of memo pads, routing slips, large envelopes, mailing labels and business reply mail are also available through the Department of University Relations. To control costs, all print in one color — blue — on white paper. On all but business reply mail and large envelopes, most information is optional.

Invitations
A range of invitation templates using different logo configurations are available in the Department of University Relations. They may be printed in one, two or three colors with or without envelopes and reply cards. All invitations using the university logo should print on white paper.
