Business Card and Letterhead Changes

As you may have heard, Augsburg College is enhancing our brand identity with the addition of "We Are Called | Auggies." Don't throw away your existing business cards or letterhead, but when you are running low, the new items are ready to order. Along with the change, we are adding and eliminating some styles:

• Gone is the contemporary or style 2 letterhead and business card that I describe as a "paint swoosh."
• Traditional business card remains largely the same, except room for longer job titles.
• Added a business card with "We Are Called | Auggies" on the back.
• Athletics business cards and letterhead remain unchanged.
• CGE business cards remain unchanged.
• Envelopes are not affected by these changes, other than the discontinuation of the contemporary/style 2 "paint swoosh" when they run out.

We have switched to a new method of printing the business cards and should experience quicker turn around, and prices on some quantities of business cards are slightly increased. Phone number labels are enhanced from a single letter to a word. There are several choices in a drop down menu, so you can select the word that best describes each phone number you are listing. You will be pleased to note that the order site has been enhanced to include an order history feature. When you go to order more business cards in the future, your previous order will show up. If there are no changes, you can simply re-order without having to enter all the data again.

Also, to reduce the number of websites you have to visit to order items through Central Services, you will now find name badges as a product in the left-hand column on the business cards and letterhead order site. They are the identical name badges that you are used to.

Please order online as you always have, log in to Inside Augsburg> A to Z directory> Central Services> Online ordering> order letterhead, business cards, envelopes and name badges> order business cards, letterhead, and name badges. Note the login and password in red – it is NOT your Augsburg network login.

Feel free to direct questions about the new styles or ordering to me. Click on my name above to email or call ext. 1297.
