Digital Collateral
Digital Graphics
Promote your service, project, or event with digital graphics.
- Teams: We offer graphics to post in Teams channels, chats, or teams.
- Social Media: We make graphics for use on social media outlets. Unit logos are required.
- Websites: We create graphics to add to webpages (CampusPress, Cascade, and Sitecore.)
- Email: We offer graphics to add to emails. (See this short video on why text in email graphics should be brief.)
- MavWire: We create graphics to pair with announcements for MavWire (and other newsletters.)
- Events.UTA.edu: We create graphics for the UTA events calendar.
If you would like all of these graphics, request a Communication Kit instead.
We need the following information with each request for digital graphics:
- what you would like the graphic to look like
- what text you would like on the graphic (text should be no more than 140 characters)
- when you need to review a first draft of the graphic
Please note that QR codes are typically excluded from these digital graphics due to the need to prioritize all available space for legible text, and because those viewing the graphic on their computer are unlikely to want to pull it up on their phone. Those viewing on their phone cannot scan a QR code from the webpage, email, or application where the graphic is displayed.
Teams Backgrounds
We create virtual backgrounds for Teams.
Wewill provide the graphics. Learn how to install them on the OIT website.
Digital Signage
We design graphics for monitors across campus.
Users make their own digital signage reservations.
We need the following information with each request:

We create icons for various user interfaces including MyMav and MyApps
We coordinate with OIT to get the graphics added to the appropriate platforms.
MyApps

- PNG-8 for 8-bit
- no text (except for vendor logos)

- there is text below each tile in MyApps
- MyApps tiles standards are set by Enterprise Architecture
The tiles have borders added by our team. This is what the borders mean:
- #0064B1 (blue) for that tiles are added by UTA for any user including students
- #970e48 (burgundy) for tiles that are used for testing or not for production use
- # C45517 (dark orange) for tiles that are restricted to just employees, non-students
MyMav

Digital Flyers
Digital flyers are letter-size documents to highlight an announcement, event or service.
Digital flyers are not replacements for webpages. If we can avoid the “digital content detour” created by burying things in a PDF,”we should do so.
They are saved as PDFs and hosted online. They can also be printed. They must be accessible.
Digital flyers are professionally designed and not editable by users. (See also Effective Flyers and PDF or Website?)
Timeline
We require two weeks‘ notice to schedule work.
We start designing after we receive final text.
