What do Elvis Presley, Muhammad Ali and Albert Einstein have in common? In addition to being recognized universally as three of the most influential people of all time, they all used personal letterheads.
Individuals and companies in all industries make it a point to have their own unique letterhead, and for good reason. Letterheads are certainly very effective branding and marketing tools. In addition to being used for official letters and business transactions, they carry a company’s corporate identity and can further boost its reputation. Letterheads helped even icons like Elvis, Ali and Einstein to reach out to both business partners and supporters. Sending a letterhead as opposed to an ordinary piece of paper can really make a huge difference.
We’ve compiled 40 vintage personal letterheads that belong to some amazing people we’re sure you know or at least have heard about. Kudos to Shaun Usher and the entire Letterheady team for digging out these letterhead treasures. Meanwhile, if you’re planning to make your own letterheads, have them printed by a trusted company like UPrinting to be assured of clear and long lasting prints.
