Notepaper Note that there is more room on the sheet. I reduced the tapper and hand to less than half its original size. I moved your name to the upper right to give it balance. You got loads of room. The logo in the corner should be in color like the rest of the sheet. I also distorted the logo that is beneath the beer spill just as it would appear in real life. I did reduce the logo, but I wouldn't make it any smaller. Keep in mind, the best correspondence is brief with lots of space around it. You should never fill this sheet with text. Beneath your name you can put a subject line or a "To: SoAndSo." Note that I added bubbles in strategic spots in the spill. It really adds depth and life to it. Sometimes I amaze myself. Therefore, I would recommend it be printed on a smaller stock and trimmed to a sheet 8 inches high maximum. This way it can be folded in half and put into a standard envelope, paper clipped to a report or large sheet of paper. I've resaved the file as a JPG and integrated into two Microsoft Word templates. This way you could just open it up on your computer, type away, and output the note on an office laser printer. |
This is the 6x9 inch format. Click on the link at left to download the stationery with the graphic embedded and text boxes in place. Important note: you really can't print full bleed (off the edge) when printing to a laser or ink jet printer. Now a commercial printer can print full bleed because they just trim the sheet after it's printed. There will be a white margin above the hand which will form a frame or vignette. If you don't want this and want a full bleed off the edge on top, just cut the top off to the edge of the hand. If you have a good paper cutter in the office, this will work great. |

This project is particularly interesting because the finished product is a large framed montage of images including some fascinating and colorful beverage distributor memorabilia, collected items from Kirchhoff's long history. Did you know the firm started out as an ice cream company? |

Logo Graphics, Type and Color Scheme Note that the logo at right is a full-color logo, which means to get the good blends and depth, the logo must be reproduced in a four color process which may be impractical for some applications where you can only use solid colors. In the event solid colors are used, the above color fornulas and Pantone equivelencies have been provided. A good vector logo for spot color applications is featured below. On the gold metalic part, it's best to use a gold metalic if you're working in decal vinyl. But if you are screen printing a flat color, Pantone 612 will work.

Kirchhoff Distributing Co. Stationery
This is a stationery sample prepared in Microsoft Word. When you deploy in Microsoft Word, click two times on the header in which the graphic is embeded, and you can customiz the text line beneath the logo.
Business Cards by the Sheet
The cards are layed out on letter sized sheet. Use good quality linen or textured laser paper. The lines are your trim marks. If you have a reasonably good paper cutter, trim the cards as follows. Your first cut should be down the middle from top to bottom. This way you'll have marks in strategic locations allowing you to accurately trim the rest of the cards.
