Templates & Resources
This page contains instructions for setting up your institutional email signature and for ordering business cards, as well as examples of the three business card templates available.
Email Signatures
Your email signature for your @vims.edu email account should follow these guidelines:
- Keep it simple, include only essential contact information.
- Use common fonts, such as Helvetica, Calibri or Arial.
- To support cross-client reliability, dark mode behavior, and institutional consistency, we recommend using black text. If you wish to include color, please apply Marine Blue (hex ##00677e) to all lines except your title, which should be W&M Gold (hex #B79257).
- Do not include logos or graphics, as the display quality will vary depending on the browser, email client, etc. If you wish to include social media or website links, do so as plain text links instead of icons.

Business Cards
Our business card must accommodate differences in length of name, variation in number of titles and inclusion of additional contact information. To this end, we have made three design options available. Individuals may choose the option that best works for them.
The available options below are designed with flexibility in mind, to allow you to share the information most pertinent to your use. The only aspect of these designs that should be altered is the content respective to the individual. Text size, text weight, colors and our logo are not to be altered.
Business cards for VIMS & Batten School employees can be ordered through [[v|sstein,Sue Stein]].
