Branded Email Templates
As more users join CU's eComm program, adherence to our brand standards continues to be a priority. CU's brand guidelines increase the effectiveness of communications to every audience including students, faculty, staff, alumni, and donors.
To highlight the design diversity possible with CU's brand standards, eComm has provided numerous templates, including:
- six sets with CU branding (available to all users)
- one set with CU Anschutz branding (available by request: email ecomm@cuanschutz.edu)
- six sets with UCCS branding (available to all users)
Each set contains numerous templates each so that users can vary the design of different communication (ie. an event invite vs. a newsletter) while maintaining a similar theme.
