[Cfat] Re: Director's Office : TRIUMF Style Guide - Our Visual Identity

[Jennifer Kaban]

Hi Isabel,

I'm working on putting up the non-40 year templates right now. In the 
meantime, here's the basic letterhead to get you going.

As for the fonts, you're right, a second-choice for Garamond is one that 
we forgot to address. We were discussing Times New Roman, but no one was 
really happy with the choice. Any ideas as to an alternative to suggest?

Thanks for putting time into this!
