Email signatures

Here you will find help in setting up your email signature with the Aarhus BSS logo and accreditation logos. This is what the email signature for Aarhus BSS looks like (with guidelines):


The signature text here is set in the Aptos font, size 11, which for many is the default in Outlook. If the body text in your version of Outlook is, for example, Verdana or Calibri, consider changing your email signature text to one of these so that you have only one font in your emails. If your title and team/department do not fit on one line, move the team/department to a new line. Just make sure that your final email signature aligns with the lines shown in the image.
