E-mail Signature Style Guide
St. John’s asks faculty, staff, and administrators to help strengthen the University’s brand identity by employing a consistent look to their e-mail signatures.
The University has developed a standard e-mail signature that is simple and convenient to use. In addition to the 108 x 41 pixel St. John’s logo—which employees can insert as illustrated below—the signature features specific fonts and organizes personal contact information to ensure consistency across all University messaging.
