Branded Templates
Adobe Express is supported university-wide and recommended for faculty and staff. It provides access to the St. Edward’s approved brand assets and templates, making it easier and preferred to create professional, on-brand digital and print materials. The Marketing and Communications team will keep these materials updated and available via Adobe Express. If you have any questions or need assistance in making changes you can email brand@stedwards.edu or refer to our overview of how we use it.

Correspondence
Because St. Edward’s University is one brand, there is one correct format for the official letterhead, email signatures, envelope and business cards to be used across all core academic identities, brand extensions and official university business. When used consistently, our brand is undiluted and presents professionalism.
To place orders for university stationery, envelopes and business cards with FedEx, log in to myHilltop and go to “FedEx Print & Copy (Faculty and Staff)” and click "Place an order"
Email Signatures
Adding an email signature is the perfect opportunity to display your professionalism by making your contact information clear and accessible. It is important that everyone in our community use the same fonts and style to convey a consistent university brand. Email signatures should use our alternative fonts for general communication, Adobe Garamond and Helvetica LT Std.
