ADMINISTRATIVE ANNOUNCEMENTS LSI centers to get KU signatures KU University Relations has recently authorized major academic and research divisions such as the Life Span Institute the option of giving each of its centers its own KU “signature.” Two examples of LSI center signatures follow. LSI centers will be able to use their signatures on official KU stationery, electronic stationery as well as print and web, etc.
Each center and the LSI central office communications staff (Henry, Lorenzen, Rosdahl and Simpson) will have full sets of these signatures that will include horizontal and vertical, 1-color, 2-color, etc. versions. Karen, Drew and Chris can help you adapt these for Microsoft Office use in Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc. But you will not use these for stationery use. Once University Relations is done with the LSI center signature sets (and we are on their schedule) they will be available from the KU stationery ordering site at: http://www.identity.ku.edu/stationery/order.shtml. As most of you know, you essentially assemble the stationery piece online. The new signatures will be available via a pull-down online list at the above site. Questions? Call or email: Karen Henry or kahenry@ku.edu. |
