Frequently asked questions about letterhead


Was ist ein Briefkopf?

Sie können sich einen Briefkopf als Rahmen für Ihre Kommunikation vorstellen. Ein Briefkopf besteht aus Text und Grafik, die oben auf einem Stück Papier stehen. Die Aufnahme eines Buchstabenkopfes dient dem doppelten Zweck: Es hilft den Empfängern, Buchstaben schnell von verschiedenen Absendern zu unterscheiden, und es stärkt die professionelle Marke des Absenders. Egal, ob Sie eine persönliche Note oder ein Business-Memo senden, ein gut gestalteter Briefkopf macht Ihre Nachricht sofort glaubwürdiger. Die Letterhead-Designs enthalten oft Namen, Logo und Kontaktinformationen des Absenders.


What does a letterhead look like?

Anything you want! There are all kinds of letterheads out there, and each can be effective. Some letterhead designs take up only the top of the page, while others encompass full-page watermarks, decorative footers, and side margin details. The best letterhead will always fit within your greater brand story (personal or professional!) by using the same colors and design motifs. Other than that, though, there's no hard-and-fast rules to how a letterhead has to look. When evaluating your design, just make sure it reflects your brand and tells the recipient who you are and how to contact you.


Welche Art von Briefkopfpapier soll ich verwenden?

Ob persönlich oder professionell, ein Briefkopf kann für alle Arten der Kommunikation verwendet werden: Notizen, Memos, Briefe, Mitteilungen, Ankündigungen, Einladungen - alles! Da die Verwendungsmöglichkeiten so vielfältig sind, gibt es keine einzige Papiersorte, die sie alle begleiten muss. Stattdessen sollten Sie das Briefkopfpapier auf den Zweck der Nachricht zuschneiden. Für größere oder formale Verwendungszwecke (wie z.B. Lebenslauf) sollten Sie ein dickeres, hochwertigeres Papier wie Cardstock oder Vellum verwenden. Für den täglichen Gebrauch ist Standardrechner immer eine solide Wahl.
