Stationery

The Wake Forest University stationery system is designed to unify all correspondence under a consistent graphic identity. All stationery items, including letterhead, business cards, envelopes and note cards, will be printed by our designated vendors and may be ordered for each University entity. Do not attempt to re-create any item in the stationery system. 

Order stationery

To order stationery for your department or entity, set up an account through Allegra Printing, our approved supplier. You can order customized business cards, letterhead, envelopes and note cards on their site.

Inclusive features on business cards

Through Allegra, Wake Forest staff and faculty can select personal pronouns and braille embossing to add to their business cards. Brailling does incur an additional cost, but we recommend it for those who are regularly giving out business cards.

Sharing personal pronouns (e.g., he/his, she/her, they/them) helps those just meeting you know what pronouns you use and can ease the way for more respectful communication. If selected as a business card option, personal pronouns are included in parentheses after the person’s name. For more information on personal pronouns, please reach out to Wake’s LGBTQ+ Center at lgbtq@wfu.edu.

The addition of braille to business cards allows those who are blind or have low vision to have access to essential information on your business card. If the braille option is selected for cards, the braille will be embossed on the back of each standard card. The information included in braille is the staff/faculty member’s name, Wake Forest University and the individual’s email address. Brailling on the cards requires an additional fee and a longer lead time. For more information on the braille option or accessibility in general, please contact Eudora Struble at strublej@wfu.edu.

Microsoft® Word online template

The Word online template can be used for letters that will be shared electronically rather than printed. The template is intended for electronic distribution only and should not be used for printing items from an in-house printer. Please do not print stationery from this template because the graphics will be fuzzy, and the communication will look unprofessional.

Email signature

Every communication from Wake Forest University is part of our identity, including email. An email signature acts as a business card and lets the recipient know that the email is an authorized correspondence from Wake Forest personnel. Therefore, it is important to follow the email signature guidelines for all external emails. Faculty and staff should use the signature configuration shown below.

Please do not use an electronic version of a business card in place of this email signature — they often fail to render correctly, particularly on mobile devices. For similar reasons, we do not recommend including images in your signature, using decorative color backgrounds or typeface colors other than black.

Name badge

The Wake Forest name badge is constructed with brushed brass plastic and black etching. You may work with a vendor of your choice to create name badges using the approved template, or you can order a badge by email from Crown Trophy, our preferred local vendor.

Name badges should include the vertical Wake Forest logo, your name, and your department.

Email Crown Trophy at crowntrophy419@bellsouth.net with the subject line “WFU Name Badge” to order name badges for your department or office.

Microsoft Word name tag template

An electronic user template of the Wake Forest name tag has been created in Microsoft Word. This template is for the Avery Label 5395 peel-and-stick label.

Slide templates

Several presentation templates are available in PowerPoint and Google Slides formats. Use these templates to easily create presentations. As with any large-format medium, the fewer words, the more effective the message. Follow the layout style shown and create the presentation using clean, uncluttered pages.

Signage

All Reynolda Campus signage requests are processed through the Department of Facilities and Campus Services.
