Email is another touchpoint in maintaining our brand consistency and transparency with alumni, donors and friends of the UT System. To promote our brand and remain in compliance with the UTFI affiliation agreement, our email communications must contain reference to the UT Foundation.

Please review options below to ensure that your email signature is in compliance, as well as represents the UT Foundation appropriately.

General Policies

  • Email signatures should be in UT System Gray (RGB: 88/89/91) or black. Other colors are not permissible.
  • The preferred font is Arial, size 11. Calibri is also acceptable. Other fonts are not permissible.
  • Do not add quotes, taglines or other text outside of current university campaigns or initiatives that have been approved through UTFI Office of Communications or your campus communications and marketing department.

Use the templates below to copy and paste to customize your signature in your email client.

To maintain compliance with the UTFI affiliation agreement, emails must include reference to the Foundation by using the primary logo or the text below.

Email Signature with Campus and UTFI Logos
