Stationery Standards

The stationery standards established for the State of Vermont address consistent design and font specifications.

For Official State Use Only

Standard State of Vermont Stationery (letterhead, business cards, envelopes) for use by State personnel only. These items are only permitted to be used for official State of Vermont communications. These standards were established to create consistency throughout the Enterprise and should not be altered. Please use the official layout we have developed.

Specific to business cards, if staff members have questions, access needs, or would like to request a reasonable accommodation to the layout for effective communication, email the BGS Print Shop.

Letterhead 

There are four State of Vermont letterhead options. Options A, B, and C are preferred. Options A and B include the Coat of Arms and Moon Over Mountains logo. Option C is for entities with an approved legacy logos, which replaces the Coat of Arms or Moon Over Mountains logo in the lower right. Option D should be considered when there are multiple field offices and/or addresses, routine or anticipated changes to the pre-printed information will occur, the letterhead is shared among programs/divisions and the letterhead is used infrequently, reducing the risk of changes to the pre-printed information. If Option D is used, entities must add their name and contact information to the letter content.
