Print Media
Virginia Tech works with a network of approved printers to produce branded business materials, such as business cards, letterhead, envelopes, thank-you cards, and more. See a list of approved printers.
Letterheads
Primary and secondary brand extensions may use their primary or secondary brand extension lockup logo, or the master brand logo. Tertiary brand extensions must use the appropriate master brand logo or primary or secondary brand extension lockup logo and use their tertiary brand extension name in text. Sub-brands must use the master brand logo and use their sub-brand name in text.
Business Cards
The official university logo appears at the top left of the business card. Note that no additional unit logotype is to be used in conjunction with the university logo. A secondary business card version is permitted for people whose names, titles, or department names are too long to fit the preferred format.
Business cards for primary and secondary brand extensions use their official lockup. Tertiary entities should use the appropriate master brand, primary brand extension, or secondary extension logo and use their tertiary name in text. Other alterations are not permitted.
Graduate Assistants/Teaching Assistants
With prior approval from Communications and Marketing, graduate assistants and graduate teaching assistants are permitted to use the university’s standard business card format for research-related, teaching-related, and other academic activities.
Backs of Business Cards
There is some flexibility for backs of business cards. Approved distinct identities may appear on business card backs.
Envelopes
Primary and secondary brand extensions may use their primary or secondary brand extension lockup logo, or the master brand logo. Tertiary brand extensions must use the master brand logo or appropriate primary or secondary brand extension lockup logo and use their tertiary brand extension name in text. Sub-brands must use the master brand logo and use their sub-brand name in text.
