Email Signature

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.

Setup instructions are available below to assist you in creating an officially branded email signature.

Other considerations
Personal quotations or philosophical statements should not be included as part of your signature. Your USI 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.

When applicable, professional designations or certifications may be placed directly after your name. For example: Jane Doe, MBA

The USI email signature uses Calibri font which is a common font found on most Macs and PCs. If the instructions below do not give you the same format or look as the example, please check to make sure you have enabled HTML messages in Outlook, and you are using FireFox or Chrome Browser to view this page.
