GRAPHIC STANDARDS

Stationary.

Stationery is a primary means of conveying the Monmouth College image at the personal level. The stationery must be visually related to other applications of the graphic standards. The focal point of the identification on all stationery is the college logo and the tartan stripe. The red ink color to be used on college stationery (and other uncoated paper stock) is Pantone 193.

Monmouth College Letterhead
Fig. 1 - Departmental Letterhead

Letterhead
In most instances, letterhead, second sheets and envelopes are to be ordered from Campus Services (ext. 2126). A large supply of generic stationery is maintained by that office and letterhead will be imprinted on demand with departmental information, as depicted in Figure 1, usually in lots of 500 sheets. The standard departmental information, which appears opposite the logo in the upper right corner of the page, is the name of the department (in bold), the college street address, the department's general telephone number, and general fax number.

For large quantities of stationery (such as for bulk mailings) it is recommended that a department order directly from the college's stationery printer (currently Kellogg Printing in Monmouth, 734-8388), which maintains the proper templates. If desired, the order can be placed by the College Communications Office (ext. 2314).

In any correspondence, the signature of an individual authorized to use department stationery should be followed by his or her title, in order to provide suitable identification for return correspondence.

Monmouth College Standard Envelope
Fig. 2 - Standard Envelope

Envelopes
As with letterhead, departments typically order envelopes from Campus Services (ext. 2126). Unlike the letterhead itself, envelopes generally do not include departmental information (Fig. 2). The generic envelope includes the Monmouth College logo and address in the top left corner of the envelope. The tartan stripe design appears horizontally at the top left of the envelope.

The United States Postal Service has established strict regulations about the placement of text and images on envelopes. For example, the return address must be placed not less than 2.75 inches from the bottom edge of the envelope. Guidelines published by USPS are available for review in the Campus Services Office.

To order custom envelopes, contact Kellogg Printing or College Communications (see information above).

Monmouth College Business Card
Fig. 3 - Sample Business Card

Business Cards
Despite its small size, the business card is versatile and widely-used document that may be retained by a client or acquaintance for years and is sometimes posted publicly, such as on a bulletin board. It is therefore essential that it reflect well on the college, both from a graphic and quality standpoint. The information contained on the business card (Fig. 3) typically includes the individual's name, title, department, street address, office phone number, fax number, e-mail address and Web site URL. Optional information may include a home telephone number or e-mail address, cell phone number, or additional job titles. Some faculty members choose to include their academic credentials following their name.

Business cards may be ordered through the College Communications office (ext. 2314). The preferred method for submitting information to appear on the card is email (jeffr@monm.edu), campus mail, or fax (ext. 2330). You will receive a typeset proof to sign off on, prior to printing.

IMPORTANT: Although business cards may be ordered through College Communications, a requisition for purchase order must also be submitted. It should be made payable to Kellogg Printing Co., 95 Public Square, Monmouth, IL 61462. The requisition should include the quantity (500), the description (2-color business cards) and the name of the individual. The approximate cost is $50. Business cards should be charged to an appropriate cost center, such as commercial printing, office supplies, or miscellaneous supplies.

Technical Specifications - Dimensions: 2" x 3-1/2"; Stock: 80# Strathmore Writing, Ultimate White; Wove Finish; Ink: Black and PMS 193.
