Notepads
Branded tear-off pads, glued at the head, 50 sheets to a pad. A notepad gets used for months and is always within reach, so the brand stays small: a logo at the head and the phone number and website at the foot. Everything else on the sheet is room to write, ruled at handwriting spacing.
Notepad · half letter
The everyday pad: on the conference table at signings, in seminar packets, and on the client’s kitchen counter afterwards. 5.5″ × 8.5″ trim, lines 0.344″ (8.7 mm) apart.
Date Quiet and correspondence-grade. Paper does the work; the brand is a signature, not a statement.
Recognizably Pierce at arm’s length. A navy or gold band frames ivory content.
Full-bleed navy with gold ink, and full-bleed photography where the format has room. For rooms, not envelopes.
Desk pad · 4 × 6
A smaller pad for reception desks, phone notes, and welcome bags. Same layout, scaled to the sheet. 4″ × 6″ trim, lines 0.313″ (7.9 mm) apart.

| Step | Treatment |
|---|---|
| Minimal | White sheet, colour lockup, one gold hairline under the head. Lines in a light warm grey so handwriting, not the ruling, carries the page. |
| Accent | A navy band at the head, bled off three edges, carries the yellow lockup, with a gold keyline beneath. The date field sits on the paper below it. |
| Bold | A navy flood frames a white writing panel. The head and footer sit on navy in gold; the date field sits inside the panel. The panel always stays white so ballpoint, pencil, and felt tip all show. |
