Cornell Bowers CIS Website
Email Signature
Email signatures are to be text-only, with no image files, including the Cornell Bowers CIS lockup or the Cornell seal. A good example of an informative, web-accessible email signature:

Web accessibility – and not design nor Cornell Bowers CIS brand guidelines – is the reasoning for text-only email signatures. As far as desired fonts for email signatures, the choice is yours. Let simplicity and legibility be the ultimate guides here. Use your best judgement on font size and color while being mindful that some lighter colors can present contrast issues against white backgrounds. When in doubt, reference WebAIM’s Contrast Checker to see if your desired font color passes web accessibility standards.
