Letterhead and envelopes
In the interest of presenting a consistent visual identity, Samford University has one standard letterhead, envelope, business card and name tag format. The guidelines for these items can be found in university policy 1.04.
Stationery printing requests may be made directly with the Samford Print Shop, 726-2830.
The logo on school-specific letterhead can be the school-specific belltower logo or the Samford University logo. Schools with approved academic insignia (nursing, pharmacy, divinity, education) as of 1/1/09 may choose to use those insignia at the bottom of the letterhead. The insignia will be screened and printed in PMS 289 blue to coordinate with the official university belltower logo. Schools may choose to use only the official university belltower logo on letterhead.
The logo on all university envelopes should be the official university belltower logo.
Bulk permit mailings must use only the official university belltower logo, per USPS bulk mailing regulations. The post office will not accept bulk permit mail that uses any logo other than the primary university belltower logo because the permit is issued to “Samford University.”
Business cards
All business cards will use the official belltower logo and a standard format. The university’s primary URL – www.samford.edu – will be printed on all business cards. Additional information that pertains to a department, school or program area can be printed on the second side of the business card at an additional cost.
Designs for note cards, note pads, promotional materials and other similar items using the official logos should be reviewed in advance with the office of communication to ensure consistency with university identity guidelines.
A standard name tag will be used for all university employees and representatives using the official belltower logo.
If you need a new Samford name badge the ordering information is below:
The navy blue name tags are 1.5 inches by 3 inches printed with a white Samford University logo and letters. There are 21 characters and spaces available for names. To reinforce our message of community, we are not using other identifiers on the name tags.
Departments can place orders as needed by going directly to www.badgerelease.com.
User name is Order Admin. Password is SUBADGE. Please put your Banner index code as the PO number.
Please provide the names in an Excel file with personalized information provided exactly as you want it on the badge (using upper/lower case letters). You will not receive a proof, so please double check the information you provide. When submitting the spreadsheet, use one column for the name. The names are imported via the computer, so whatever is in the column will be printed exactly as it appears. Please do not put headers (such as “names”) at the top of the spreadsheet. If you do, you will order a name tag that says “names.” Individual names can also be entered.
The average turnaround time from order to delivery is about 10 days. Please be sure to keep the confirmation number when ordering new name badges. The vendor uses this number to track orders and to replace any faulty product.
Each name tag will cost approximately $5.40.
