Social Media Avatars and Cover Photos

Avatars must follow UTRGV brand guidelines. UMC can provide a fillable template to create your avatar. If you decide to create your own, you must think of legibility in small sizes, especially on mobile devices. The guidelines below ensure UTRGV brand compliance and accessibility.

Avatars may use the orange, gray, or white colors from UTRGV's primary color palette.
Acronyms are not permitted; write the unit's name entirely.

Option A: Plain University and Unit Name

University name and unit name must be in plain text. This approach is not considered an official secondary logo.
All unit names must be fully spelled out.

Option B: Photo with UTRGV in Plain Text

Units are encouraged to use photos that associate with their mission.
Please avoid using photos of buildings.
Add "UTRGV" in plain text to the image when using a photo.

Your cover photo (also known as header photo) is the image that is displayed at the top of your profile on Facebook or Twitter. Cover photos can only be produced by University Marketing and Communications.

Option A: Banner with Secondary Logo

Use initials version of the official secondary logo.

Option B: UTRGV Curated photos

The cover photo is a wonderful opportunity to highlight UTRGV's unique identity, and so we have curated a number of options for your use.

Option C: Photos related to the unit

Photos of buildings are not recommended.
