Verified (31) VerifiedDiscuss letterhead, including its design, required contents, and the placement and appearance of those elements.
(41) VerifiedLetterhead often is the first section a reader notices on a letter. Thus it is important your letterhead appropriately reflect the essence of the individual or business (i.e. formal youthful technical etc.). The letterhead should leave ample room for the contents of the letter. When designing a letterhead consider its contents placement and appearance. A letterhead should contain these elements:
• Complete legal name of the individual group or company
• Complete mailing address: street address including building room suite number or post office box along with city state and postal code
• Telephone number(s)and fax number if one exists Many letterheads also include a Web address e-mail address and a logo or other image. If you use an image select one that expresses your personality or goals.
• In terms of placement of elements in the letterhead some letterheads center their elements across the top of the page. Others align some or all of the elements with the left or right margins. Sometimes the elements are split between the top and bottom of the page. For example a name and logo may be at the top of the page with the address at the bottom of the page.
• With regard to the appearance of letterhead elements always use fonts that are easy to read. Give your name impact by making its font size larger than the rest of the text in the letterhead. For additional emphasis consider formatting the name in bold or italic. Choose colors that complement each other and convey your goals or personality. When finished designing the letterhead determine if a divider line would help to separate the letterhead visually from the text of the letter.
