10 Modern Letterhead Designs for Inspiration

When it comes to the importance of design, letterhead is often one of a marketer's lowest priorities. But when much of your most important information is conveyed via letterhead, it makes sense to put in the time and effort to ensure your letterhead design commands attention and accurately brands your company. The following letterhead designs represent modern examples of stationery that does a great job of branding.

1. Genevieve Dennis self-promotion

This letterhead design features a prominent logo and plenty of white space in an otherwise empty sidebar, save for the contact information at the bottom. This layout is perfect for branding that does not distract from the body copy.

2. Augustine Claret by Stephanie Malak

In this example, the logo is shifted down and to the right, while the contact information is printed on the back of the letterhead sheet so it can be viewed when folded.

3. Wanderlust Hotel by Foreign Policy

A subtle, subdued logo at the top right of this letterhead design won't be ignored; on the contrary, the fact that it is so different means it will earn attention for the Wanderlust brand.

4. Otto Climan self-promotion

Bold simplicity is a strategy for letterhead design; however, I would have preferred a color logo in this example.

5. Studio Cap by Andrea Mantuano

This letterhead features a traditional upper left corner logo, but that's it – no other contact information clutters the top, so attention is focused on the brand name. Plenty of white space should make concise body copy easy to read.

6. Anastasios Mavrommatis by Paul Hector Theofanous

Letterhead logos don't have to be positioned in the top left corner, nor must they be surrounded by contact information. This letterhead design showcases the brand with a central, color logo on top and reserves the contact information for a simple line below the body copy.

7. CHMA by Daniel Reed

A simple, clean, blocky letterhead design makes this stationery seem powerful yet fun.

8. Star Builders by Mohd Almousa

This letterhead design plays on the company's industry, mimicking drafting paper with a grid background.

9. Cooper & Ford by Robinsson Cravents

This gorgeous letterhead features a full-color printed back page, a big splash logo and die cut rounded corners.

10. SHE by Blok Design

This letterhead design conveys a message with powerful branding that's also fun and inviting due to the bright theme colors.
