Email signatures

Using consistent signatures for @isothermal.edu email accounts creates brand alignment and provides needed contact information. In addition, consistent and clear email signatures present a professional appearance for conducting college business through email.

Avoid the use of graphics, links to websites outside the college, symbols, inspirational or funny quotes, background stationery, symbols, and signature cards.

Do not include logos other than the official Isothermal logo in the approved formats for email signatures. Use of the WNCW logo is permitted for radio station staff. Do not use logos for social media platforms or graphics to promote events.

Font: 12-point Helvetica or Arial. These are standard fonts on both Mac and PCs and work in all email clients. Non-standard fonts and HTML may not translate across email clients.

Color: Black is consistent with the brand color palette. 

Phone numbers: Include phone and/or fax numbers you use regularly to make it easy for others to reach you. Only include a mobile or fax number if it's a number you often use or want to broadly share. When disclosing multiple numbers, label each with the type following the number.

Example:
828-395-XXXX Office
828-395-XXXX Fax
828-289-XXXX Mobile 

URL conventions: There is no need to use the "www" in a URL unless the URL won't work without it. For example, isothermal.edu is used in the approved email signatures and the link is embedded. There is also no need to include your email address in your e-signature, as the message is coming from your email account.

Pronouns: You may add your personal pronouns by which you would prefer to be addressed to your college e-signature. If you would like to list your personal pronouns in your signature, place them after the web address and before the logo. Do not link to external pages as part of this. Examples of the style for pronouns include: "She, her, hers" or "He, him, his."
