<div class="text"> <h2>Ordering & printing</h2> <p>Letterhead, envelopes, and business cards with the Yale logo and wordmarks are exclusively produced by <a href="http://ypps.yale.edu/">Yale Printing & Publishing Services</a> (YPPS). This is to ensure design and editorial consistency as the system is adopted university-wide. YPPS has streamlined the design and production processes for print and digital letterhead and business cards, ensuring both economy and timeliness in the fulfillment of stationery orders. Organizations within the university are asked to consult with YPPS to develop coordinated stationery suites and bulk business card orders. For digital stationery, “lockup” files in Microsoft Word format—corresponding to the typography and layout of the printed form of Yale letterhead—are produced. Please note that digital stationery is intended for email and other electronic communication only; all print communication requires official printed Yale letterhead.</p> <p>Official Yale letterhead is printed on high-quality, 100% post-consumer recycled paper watermarked with the Yale logo. Second sheets, envelopes, business cards, notepads, and other related materials are available in matching—but non-watermarked—stock. Blank sheets of watermarked Yale stock are not available for purchase.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div data-component-width="site" class="divider__wrapper"> <div data-divider-position="left" class="divider__inner"> <div data-animate-item="enabled" class="divider" data-divider-width="75"></div> </div> </div> <div data-component-width="site" data-component-alignment="left" data-component-variation="default" class="text-field"> <div class="text-field__inner"> <div class="text"> <h2>Stationery design</h2> <p>The following guidelines apply to both print and digital letterhead as well as to business cards.</p> <p>The Yale stationery system combines a “wordmark” (the Yale logo plus a small-cap or italic extension) and a single column of contact information set in a format approved by Campus Mail and the US Postal Service. Additional lists of names (board members or advisers, for instance) may appear on stationery. A brief slogan, service line, or description of a collaborative venture may also be used on letterhead when set according to the template. Only <em>one</em><strong> </strong>Yale logo or wordmark may appear on a letterhead or business card.</p> <p>Except as noted above, emblems or logos other than the new Yale logo, wordmarks, and Yale shields may not appear on Yale stationery. Legacy logos may be used in other publications, but the new Yale logo or appropriate wordmark must also appear in these publications according to the guidelines.</p> <p>Users of Yale letterhead are encouraged to employ the Yale typeface for the content of all paper correspondence; Times Roman or Courier (typewriter type) are also acceptable.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div
