Guidelines

• Badges and unique graphics are not permitted. Affiliations with other University of Iowa groups and initiatives should be listed as plain text below your contact information.
• Pronouns of reference are encouraged and if used should be listed on the same line as your name so the relationship to you as an individual is clear. Visit the Trans@Iowa website for more information about pronouns of reference.
• Inspirational messages or other quotations are not appropriate and better suited for personal emails.
• Keep the order of your signature information (title, address, etc.) uniform with these recommendations so recipients can easily find contact details when communicating with multiple individuals within your organization.

Formatting

• The entire signature is set in the font Arial, 10pt, in the color black.
• For emphasis, the name line and the web address can be bolded.
• Set alt text for the university logo by right-clicking on the inserted logo and selecting “edit alt text.” Set the alt text to read “University of Iowa logo.”
• Unit lockups should not be used in email signatures. Unit names should appear in plain text as part of your contact information.
• Unit specific URLs can replace the uiowa.edu hyperlink.
