Too bottom heavy and the design is a bit large, you could easily make it all much smaller. There's nothing more annoying than having to fit your letter into a tiny space caused by a poorly thought out letterhead.

I wouldn't add titles for each resume/contract etc. either, as you're just limiting yourself and letterhead isn't cheap to produce. Not only that but NEVER put aCV on anything other than plain paper. As someone who has to read a lot of them in my job it doesn't impress people or make them stand out, it just makes them look unprofessional.

hey, i print these off on a per need basis. I have access to numerous digital printers. so the cost-effectiveness of removing the titles isn't really necessary. I knew someone would say the design is a bit too big. i made it bigger because it is on the bottom and didn't want my contact info to get lost.

I really don't like letter heads with things at the top, I tried to go for soemthing different here.

i agree with you on the plain paper. I have never used anything but 60LB text with a brightness of 90. white, of course. I think the worst is when people get them printed on that parchment stuff, oh that really annoys me.

When you rework, think of the effect of copying or faxing. There are still companies using those technologies in their HR depts., especially companies that need to go shopping for design services.

I think your design has some cool features, though. I'm looking forward to seeing what you copme up with for a second shot.

You could always put the details down the side of the page, your logo is pretty long, so it could work. I would start near the top though.
