Resources | Identity Guide | Brand ApplicationsEmail Signatures
Consistent email signatures deliver a visually coherent look across university departments and offices. Just as our business cards follow a standardized approach, email signatures should be consistent. Consider your email signature your digital business card, and include the appropriate information.
Email signatures should include:
- Your name
- Department or college
- Phone number
- Fax number (if applicable)
- Job title
- Name of the university
- Postal address
- Cell number (if applicable)
Below is an example of an appropriate UTSA email signature:
FirstName LastName
TitleThe University of Texas at San Antonio
Department
One UTSA Circle
San Antonio, TX 78249
p: 210.458.####
c: 210.###.####
Please note the following guidelines:
- Personal quotations or philosophical statements should not be included as part of your signature. Your UTSA signature is a direct representation of the university’s viewpoint.
- Watermarked, colored or photographic backgrounds in emails are not permitted as they often make correspondence difficult to read and are not always compatible with other email programs.
- Preferred font and size: Arial 10 point.
- Email address is not encouraged as it is included in your email message
- When applicable, professional designations or certifications may be placed directly after your name. For example: Jane Doe, FAIA.
- When required, the confidentiality clause can be included at the bottom of the signature
