Help build the CPTC brand by sending emails with consistent formatting and signatures.
Visual Design Guidelines
- No background images.
- Banners and Graphics should be created by Marketing & Communication Creative Services.
- Use one font type in no more than two colors.
- Text should be left-aligned.
General Email Tips
- Proofread.
- Keep text brief and easy to scan. Most emails are read on mobile devices.
- Consider what users should do after reading your email. Include requests for action, also know as a call-to-action or CTA.
- Use headings, when appropriate, to indicate what follows.
- Minimize the use of images. Never send an email that is one big image.
- For URLs, use brief but meaningful link text that makes sense when read out loud. Do not use "click here".
- Check your links.
Email Signatures
Approved format options for brand signatures at the bottom of emails sent from cptc.edu accounts appear below. If your phone number has an extension, you can use an ‘x’ to signify the extension number, as in 253-000-0000 x000. No background images should be used in email communications.
Copy and paste the text below into your email signature block, then type over the placeholder text with your department, name and contact information.
