Is your company looking for a new identity?…for free? Must contact Chicago Agency by the end of Friday 2/23

I just received a note from a former Missoula CEO who now works for a major Chicago design firm. His hope is that a Montana company will take his firm up on their offer.

If you’re interested, please read on.

Mohawk Fine Papers is looking for companies in need of a new identity.

We are searching for companies that are interested in lending their name and allowing
VSA Partners, an award winning design agency in Chicago, to create a fresh new identity
and stationery system for inclusion in a Mohawk Fine Papers letterhead kit paper
promotion.

Any size, shape and type of company is eligible for consideration. Those selected will
receive a new identity along with a design for a stationery system (letterhead, business
card and #10 envelope). These identities and stationery systems will be showcased in a
paper promotion produced by some of the finest printers and distributed to an audience
of graphic designers, printers and paper merchants across the US.

Mohawk Fine Papers will cover all design and production costs for the promotion
including the cost of any identity redesign. Companies chosen for an identity redesign
will not be involved or consulted in the creative design process. Following the
completion of the promotion, final artwork only for the identities and stationery systems
will be made available to the respective companies should they want to use them for
their own purposes.

To nominate a company, please send contact info and any samples of current identity
and stationery along with the completed approval form below to:

I hereby give Mohawk Fine Papers Inc. (MFP) and VSA Partners, Inc. (VSA) permission to
redesign and use the name and identity of the company stated below (participating
company) as part of a paper promotion that will be distributed to MFP customers. The
objective of this promotion is to market the superior print quality of Strathmore writing

as an endorsement by the participating company.
MFP customers are defined as commercial printers, graphic designers, production
managers, purchasing agents and any person or company involved in specifying paper.

All costs to produce the promotion, including design fees for the new identity, will be paid
for by MFP. The participating company will be given full usage rights to the identity
developed by VSA once the printed promotion has been distributed. MFP is not required
to provide the participating company with extra copies of the printed samples utilizing
the identity from the promotion. The printed sample will be distributed in April 2007.

Please fill out, sign and return this form as stated in the attached letter to Amy Juel at
