notecards

You may choose from two standard formats and choose one of the three logo variations for either format.

Notecards are designed to be printed in one color and may be printed in purple or black.

The back of the notecard may be imprinted with:

The department, office, or unit name, address, and phone numbers with elements appearing in the order they appear on the letterhead.

An individual's name, address, and phone number with elements appearing in the order they appear on business cards.

 

Recommended type specifications

You may choose from several recommended typestyles for the text inside the invitation. Options include a serif (Times Roman) and a sans serif (Futura or Helvetica) type, both with a regular and an italics option.

Recommended type specifications are:

13/16 Times Roman, centered.
13/16 Times Roman, flush left, ragged right.
13/16 Times Roman italics, centered.

Envelopes

Notecard or invitation envelopes follow the standard set-up for envelopes. The logo used on the card should match the version on the envelope.

You may also choose to print your return address on the back flap of the envelope without a logo. Your type specifications should correspond to those selected for the notecard or invitation.
