University of Houston Stationery Receives a New Look
University of Houston is changing to new letterhead, envelopes and business card formats to reflect the updated UH
branding. The last update was made in November 2005. Having a consistent and professional look on all university
stationery communicates a unified message to these audiences and reiterates the traditional colors and symbols that
give our university its unique identity. The new stationery will become available in February 2010.
All university stationery was developed by the UH Branding Committee and is printed by the University of Houston
Printing Services department, a professional printing facility that is available to the entire UH community. Our
stationery features a watermarked paper stock specially created for the university.
In order to maintain consistency and make the process of ordering stationery as easy as possible, UH Printing
Services features templates for all of your stationery needs. These templates have both set design elements and
blank fields where you can customize information. All you need to do in most cases is provide the correct text to fill in
the blanks.
Please review the following policies for using UH Stationary:
•
Departments and colleges can switch to the new stationery gradually. It is recommended that they use up
current supplies of stationery on hand and switch to the new versions upon reordering.
•
Stationery should only include the tagline, "You Are the Pride". Alternative taglines are not permitted.
•
Only the "new" University of Houston logotype can be used on the stationery. Please do not use alternate or
older logotypes or the interlocking UH heritage mark.
•
Both older and newer college, department and program logos are permitted for use in the appropriate space
on the stationery under the following circumstances:
o
College, department and program logos cannot contain the old University of Houston logotype.
o
Recommended placement for college and department logos on the letterhead is in the lower left
corner, in place of "You Are The Pride".
o
Recommended placement for college and department logos on business cards is on the reverse
(back) side of cards that are blank on that side.
o
•
Only the University of Houston logotype can be printed on envelopes.
All University of Houston departments and colleges will be asked to use new stationery by
September 1, 2010 in order to present a unified brand identity to all audiences.
