A Corporate Letterhead With Angled Teal and Navy Shapes
Corporate stationery has a particular job: it should look serious without looking dull. This design uses sharp teal and navy angles at the top and bottom of the page, small diamond shaped icons for the contact details, and a lot of white space between them. It fits an established company, a branch office, a professional association or a corporate department that sends formal letters.
Layout of the Teal and Navy Corporate Page
The page is 8.5 x 11 inches, portrait, one page. Teal and navy bands cut across the top corner and rise again at the foot. A logo area sits at the top. At the right of the header there is a single Date line. The text uses Inter, and the sample contact lines use the placeholder style: Lorem ipsum St, City State, Zip Code 12345, then two phone lines and an email and website line.
The Diamond Contact Icons
Three diamond shaped icons mark the address, the phone numbers and the email and web lines. They are pictures, so they stay as they are while you edit the text beside them. Type your address, phone numbers and email, and your website. If you have only one phone line, delete the second number and the block will still be balanced.
Replacing the Placeholder Contact Text
This template uses placeholder text instead of a real looking address. That is helpful, because nothing can be mistaken for real data, but every line must be replaced. Search the page for the words Lorem ipsum and for the sample numbers before you print. An unchanged placeholder in a finished letter is a common and avoidable embarrassment.
A Date Line Without a Reference Number
Unlike some letterheads in this category, this one has a Date line only. For a small company that is enough. If you need a reference number, add a text box beside the date and type a reference there, using the same font size, so it looks like part of the design.
Where a Corporate Letterhead Gets Used
- Offer letters, contracts and confirmations of appointment.
- Letters to banks, insurers and regulators.
- Responses to tenders and requests for information.
- Board and shareholder communications.
- Formal replies to customer complaints.
Choosing Teal and Navy Over Other Colours
Navy suggests stability and teal adds a modern note. Together they are used by banks, healthcare administrators, software companies and consultants. If your brand uses another colour, a logo in that colour will still look correct on the white page, and the angles will serve as a frame.
Print Settings for Angled Shapes
The shapes touch the edges of the sheet, so print at 100 percent scale on a printer that supports borderless output, or use a print shop. For a letter that will be signed by hand, use a smooth paper of 100 gsm, which takes ink from a pen without bleeding.
Saving a Master for the Whole Office
Keep one locked copy of the blank letterhead in a shared folder, and ask colleagues to save letters under their own names. This way the logo, the contact lines and the colours stay the same in every letter that leaves the company.
For a navy page with a side tab, see the company letterhead. For a minimal blue page, try the business letterhead. A legal style page is the legal firm letterhead. More are in letterheads.
