Email Signatures

When promoting the brand, consistency is important, whether in print or electronic communications. For emails, the background should remain white, with no colored backgrounds or graphics/photos added. Additionally, other than your email signature, there should be no other copy on your outgoing emails (e.g., quotes, additional graphics/photos, taglines, personal information, etc.).

When using an email signature, use one of the following options. The primary option contains your full information. The secondary option contains your contact information and physical address, and the third option can be used for departmental email or for mobile devices.

Note: You aren’t required to include your cell phone or fax numbers. These examples are to show placement only.
