Envelope

Consistent use of the university nameplate on envelopes helps establish a strong visual identity. The envelope design for colleges, departments, and units prominently features the Iowa State nameplate. A slightly different envelope 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 modifier 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.

To order Iowa State stationery items, including envelopes, contact Printing Services (294-3601).

Colleges, departments, and units

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

Option one - red nameplate and red college, department, or office name with khaki modifier and address.

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

Option three - warm gray nameplate with warm gray modifier and address.

Affiliates

Envelopes 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 envelope.

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

Envelopes for Iowa State affiliates are available in two color options:

Option one - the affiliate name is printed in red with the nameplate and address block printed in khaki..

Option two - the affiliate name is printed in warm gray with the nameplate and address block printed in khaki.
