Print Guidelines
Stationery
Stationery items play an important role in communicating a consistent
image. Proper use of the corporate identity elements and adherence to
these guidelines will ensure consistency from one administrative unit
to another and convey the desired university visual identification.
The printing of stationery for use by offices of The University of
Texas at Austin should be governed by the following:
A. Only administrative offices, academic departments, and established
centers which have been approved through appropriate administrative
channels shall have their own stationery.
B. The names of individuals may not be included in the text of stationery
printed at State expense. However, the names of individual faculty and
administrative officials, and, as appropriate, endowed position title,
office telephone number, fax number and other electronic mail address
information may be added by means of laser printer or other printing
technology to official stationery as the stationery is being used. The
format design for this information is described below. Stationery not
printed at State expense may include this individual information in
the printed text but care should be exercised to avoid preparing large
quantities of stock that may become obsolete.
C. The basic format for all stationery used by University offices shall
be the design adopted in March 1984. The stationery shall be printed
on white UT Austin watermark paper stock with The University seal printed
to the left. The seal and the rule may be printed in orange if so desired
and if funds permit. For bulk mailings, the stationery may be printed
on white stock without the UT Austin watermark.
The type arrangement shall be in the following
order:
1. Major division of the institution (i.e., a college or school or other
major administrative division)
2. THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN
3. (Rule)
4. Title of the subdivision of The University (i.e., a department within
a college or another unit within a major division)
5. Address (including the expanded zip code when appropriate)
6. Telephone number (including area code)
7. As may be desired and as appropriate, information specific to individual
faculty and administrative officials may be included. The preferred
location for this information is at the left margin below the text of
items 1-6 in the following order: name, endowed position title, telephone
number, fax and/or electronic mail addresses. (See the sample copy of
letterhead.)
D. The basic format for an envelope should contain The University seal
and three lines type. The seal and rule may be printed in orange if
desired.
E. When orange is to be utilized, the shade is to correspond to the
samples available through the UT Printing Division and the Office of
University Publications.
F. It is recommended that official stationery be printed at The University
Printing Division. A sample copy of letterhead stationery and envelope
is attached.
