ISU Checks with U.S. Bank

**rworkman83** · 11-29-2009, 09:18 PM

Getting ready to order some new checks from US Bank. Last time I ordered and got the old logo. On the page to order, the picture shows the old logo still. Anyone ordered these and gotten the new logo by chance?

I just received my checks from US Bank. It's still the old logo, bird in the blinder with no text in the logo.

Old logo for me too - got the check about 4 months ago.

Dang. The check selections for everything else sucks too. Ours in black and white with the old logo really suck compared to some of the nice full color versions that other schools have.

Has anyone found ISU checks with the new logo from a third party site? How about a check book cover?

I asked at the local US Bank and they told me they didn't have ISU checks. My sister, who lives in South Dakota, was able to get some nice looking ISU checks from Wells Fargo. Hopefully US Bank will get something similar to those.

Order them online from US Bank and you can get them. I've had them for a couple of years.

My checks have the new logo and are in full color...

One of the benefits of small town banks i guess.

Wow, people still use checks? How quaint.

Seriously, I do 100% of my bill-paying and such electronically. I don't even have any checks at all for my checking account.

You don't suffer as much paying bills if all you do is point and click. I like to feel the pain with writing them out old school style.

As a guy that manufactures checks for a living, it's really obvious how much it is dying out.

USBank is one of the banks that our company prints for, and I can tell you for sure that we're still using the old logo. I doubt that there's about to be any big change, because they frankly aren't real popular. A run of checks will contain up to 12 orders, but most ISU runs only have 2-3.

Given that check revenues are decreasing and not likely to ever increase, I don't see them looking to spend money to improve something that few of us really want.
