Logos and design elements

Electronic letterhead
Use this customizable letterhead to create electronic letterhead for your program or department.
Templates
The college provides a variety of templates for departments to create promotional material. Fliers and 11" x 17" posters created with these templates can be printed through the duplicating center (please indicate size when printing poster templates). For assistance, contact the Office of Alumni Relations and Marketing at hcob-communications@wmich.edu.
Digital signs
Note: Please keep the text short and simple—event, date, time, room—and include a picture, if desired. The background and font must remain as they appear on the template. Submit your slide to the administrative assistant in your academic department. Student groups may submit a digital sign to hcob-communications@wmich.edu.

Photography
The Office of Alumni Relations and Marketing has a collection of high-quality photos taken by the University photographer for design needs. Please contact Kim Crandall at (269) 387-5964 to request photos. Please also contact the office to schedule a photo shoot for upcoming press or promotional materials.
Video production
The communications team can advise on video projects in terms of best practices, storyboarding and editing. Please contact us to meet about your video project.
Note: If you are using music in a video, you may want to consider using royalty-free music or purchasing stock music for your production. Use of many songs requires purchasing the rights to the music in order to share the work publicly as a part of your video and may be cost prohibitive. Contact the communications team if you have questions about music use in video productions.
