Wordmarks

The wordmarks below have been developed for use with publishing software, such as Microsoft Publisher. Letterhead templates (Word) and presentation templates (PowerPoint) also are available. If you want to use the wordmark in special applications (e.g., large version for a display, process-color version for printing, etc.) or have questions, contact smetcalf@iastate.edu.

If you have trouble downloading the files contact extension's computer hotline at (515) 294-1725. If you have trouble printing the wordmarks contact smetcalf@iastate.edu.

Graphics

ISU nameplates are available for download in two formats, encapsulated Postscript (EPS) and tagged image file format (TIFF).

EPS files are vector graphics created in Adobe Illustrator and saved with a tiff preview so they will display properly when used in a word processing software such as MS Word or a pagination software such as PageMaker or InDesign. Because of the tiff preview, the Nameplate will display with a white box behind it if placed over a screened background in these programs, but will print on a Postscript laser printer without the white box. Unlike bitmap graphics, vector graphics can be enlarged and still retain a smooth resolution on your laser prints.

TIFF files are best for use with HP PCL (non-Postscript) laser printers but also work well on Postscript printers if they are not enlarged. They will look jagged if enlarged too much. Also, they will print with a white background. We recommend that you use the EPS Nameplates if possible.

Note: When downloading an EPS file you may get a file with a .ps extension. You will then need to change its extension to .eps.
