Bates logos and wordmark files for Posters in EPS and PNG format

Bates logos, or wordmarks, are available for download in EPS (for print) and PNG (for digital) formats. EPS is a vector format, you may scale the logos to any size you may require. Follow this link https://www.bates.edu/communications-marketing/design-services-1/downloads/

1) Poster size: Typical sizing is 36 x 48 in. At least one dimension must be 40” or less. It can be vertically (portrait) or horizontally oriented (landscape).

2) Credits: Remember to put your name (and any co-authors) on the front of your poster! Putting your discipline and your advisor’s name isn’t a bad idea either…

3) Printing deadline: If you are having your poster printed by Post & Print on a wide format printer, your poster must be submitted for printing with a 3 day turnaround time.

4) File Submission: All files must be submitted electronically via email. Submit to posterprinting@bates.edu The maximum file capacity is 25 mb.

5) Naming convention: Please name your poster file with your Bates network username (underscore) your contact phone number with area code, Example:  jstevens_2077771234.pdf

6) Acceptable file format: Your poster must be submitted as a .PDF file. Also, it is a good idea to use common fonts, or if possible to outline your fonts before making the PDF.

• Once you have saved or exported your file as a PDF, you should look at it on your own computer to make sure it looks OK. When you design a poster (whether in InDesign or another app), some fonts and formatting may change when the PDF is opened on a different computer.
• Due to production methods, a “live” area of 35 x 47 inches must be maintained. Images flush with the edge of the poster may be cut off. Although graphics can be “edge to edge”, anything outside of this dimension may get trimmed off so if it’s important keep it inside the 35 x 47 inch area.

7) Payment:  The cost for printing a 36 x 48 inch poster:

• Bates College students and departments $45
• All others $95

Payment is due when you pick up your poster at Post & Print. The payment options:

• We accept all major credit cards or check at Post & Print. Make checks payable to Bates College.
• If a department, program, or faculty advisor’s grant is paying for your poster, please have the professor or advisor email postandprint@bates.edu stating that he or she will pay for your poster.
• Late poster submissions (after the deadline) will be charged a $20 late fee  on top of the print cost of $45.

If you have any questions about poster submission, please email postandprint@bates.edu
