Email signatures

Effective 11/2/20, it is the policy of the health colleges under the UF Health umbrella that all employee email signature blocks use a standardized email signature in all internal or external communication. The email signature should conform to standards set for employee business cards and may include the employee’s name, credentials, job title, department and contact information (see business card policy).

Pronouns may be included but are not required. Personalized e-mail and instant messenger signatures, backgrounds, personal photos, personal images, avatars, quotes, taglines and marks copyrighted by the University of Florida Athletic Association may not be used. An icon for a national designation like U.S. News & World Report or the Magnet Recognition Program may be permitted; when using a secondary icon, please ensure that: 1) it reflects the current year; 2) you have the rights/permission to use it. Please link with your designated communications/marketing liaison to confirm you’re using a secondary icon or badge appropriately. Please refer to the section on email signatures.

An example of an appropriate email signature is below. The UF Health logo, when used, should appear below your name and contact information. Please do not warp or skew the UF Health logo in your email signature. If it needs to be resized, please resize it to scale. A secondary icon, if used, must be placed below the UF Health logo, and must not appear larger in size than the UF Health logo.

Specialty items

    • Lab-coats. Please always remember to wear your ID badge. Department-specific patches are discouraged. However, if approved, they must be placed on a sleeve. All new lab coat orders should use the official two-color UF Health logo. The UF Health logo should always appear on the right lapel (if you are wearing the coat). No additional information may be placed on the side of the coat that retains the UF Health logo. Your name, credentials and specialty or department name, etc., should be placed on the opposite lapel. Please limit the amount of information that is placed on the opposite lapel so it is both readable and professional in appearance.
