Business Card

The business card design for colleges, departments, and units prominently features the Iowa State nameplate. A slightly different business card design is available for university affiliates. Use of the modifier "of Science and Technology" is optional. To determine whether or not to use the modifier, see the nameplate section of this website. To present a unified appearance, choices regarding use of the modifier, color and paper stock should be applied consistently throughout all stationery used within a unit.

Iowa State stationery items, including business cards, are printed by Printing Services and may be ordered online via their website.

Business cards for Iowa State colleges, departments, and units are available in three color options:

Option two — warm gray nameplate and warm gray personal name, khaki college, department, or office name with khaki modifier and khaki address.

Affiliates

Business cards for affiliates are designed to recognize that these units are individual organizations, yet are also strongly identified with Iowa State. This group principally includes institutes, centers, and affiliates. For design consistency, it is recommended that the nameplate modifier, "of Science and Technology" not be used on the affiliate business card.

Only centers officially recognized by the university may use this design.

Business cards for Iowa State affiliates are available in two color options:

Option one — the affiliate name and personal name are printed in red with the nameplate and address block printed in khaki..

Option two — the affiliate name and personal name are printed in warm gray with the nameplate and address block printed in khaki.
