Email Signature Do’s and Don’ts

  • When you customize the signature with your personal information, please adhere to the existing layout, formatting, and text attributes. 
  • When writing UConn, please use mixed case and never all caps (i.e., UCONN). 
  • Do not alter the font size or color of your contact information. 
  • No additions to the email signature are allowed, such as quotations, logos, icons (including social media), or other images. Image files don’t render on all email clients and come through as potentially large attachments in the receiver’s email. 
  • The email background should be all white (no graphics or colors of any kind are permitted).
