Shortrunposters: Brand overview
Shortrunposters.com is an American company specializing in printing posters in small quantities, starting from a single unit. The company’s origins date back to 1972, when Copies Unlimited was founded in Nashville, Tennessee, as the city’s first public Xerox copy shop. As demand grew, the business transitioned into a broader printing service, adopting Nashville’s first Heidelberg QM 45 DI press and rebranding as Midtown Printing. The introduction of an Xeikon 5000 digital printer led to the creation of an affordable poster printing service, initially offering a single standard size at a competitive price. Officially established in 2006, Shortrunposters.com quickly gained popularity by allowing customers to purchase as few as one poster at a time with no minimum order requirement. Poster sizes eventually expanded to include larger options, such as the popular 24×36 prints. With affordable pricing, a simple ordering process, and a flat shipping fee, the company soon developed a loyal customer base across all 50 U.S. states and internationally. It began providing foam board mounting and framing options to further meet customer needs, enhancing product offerings. The company consistently receives positive reviews for exceptional service, affordability, and high-quality prints. Embracing new technology remains essential as Shortrunposters.com continues its mission of making professional-quality posters accessible to everyone.

2006 – today
The shortrunposters.com logo is designed clearly to communicate poster printing. The main focus is on the text, positioned over a symbol depicting a stack of paper sheets in the background. The sheets are drawn with thin gray lines and covered by a grid pattern, resembling layouts or posters prepared for printing, stacked on top of one another.
The text is written in a modern, bold, slightly italicized sans-serif font leaning to the right. The name is divided into two parts: “shortrun” is slightly thinner, and “posters” is bolder, emphasizing the company’s main specialization. The letters “n” and “t” in the middle of the word stand out interestingly, they are slightly larger than the others and highlighted in bright blue. This accent adds uniqueness and catches the eye.
Completing the logo is a small and neutral “.com” in gray, underscoring that the brand operates online. The color palette of black, gray, and blue is balanced and calm, aligning with the company’s goals of printing small runs of custom posters in various formats, from compact to large, including design and installation.
The logo clearly and calmly describes the company’s entire line of work, with an individual emphasis.
