EMAIL SIGNATURE TIPS

Do not add extra icons, logos, taglines or social media image links to your signature; images can come across as attachments and appear chaotic, and many email clients and mobile devices block them.

Use a physical address only if it is necessary for your job.
Use the main phone number where you want to be reached; do not include a fax number.
Manually input the colors to get the official UT colors. Do not select an orange or gray from the basic color menu.
Personal quotations or philosophical statements should not be included as part of your signature. Your email signature is a direct representation of the university’s viewpoint.
