Digital Signage Submission Rules

Send all digital signage requests to coecommunications@ua.edu.

Specify the date you would like the slide to begin running and the date you would like it removed from the screens.

Submit all slides in a 16:9 aspect ratio. This is the size of a PowerPoint slide. Design programs such as Canva and Adobe Creative Cloud come with pre-sized 16:9 templates you can use.

Slides that are not submitted in this size are not accepted by the TV system.

Only submit graphics in a PNG or JPG file format. All other formats are not accepted by the TV system.

Use the official logos for the College and/or individual departments on slides. If you need a copy of an official logo, please email coecommunications@ua.edu to request it.

Use limited text. Slides only run for nine seconds at a time, so they should be formatted in a way that individuals can read them quickly.

Include QR codes rather than typing out websites/URLs when possible. Please make sure all QR codes are active and working properly before submitting your slide.

Ensure that the design elements used on your slide adhere to UA brand guidelines. Details regarding UA brand standards can be found here: https://brand.ua.edu/brand-guidelines/.

• UA’s colors (crimson, white, gray, black, etc.) should be the primary colors used on the slide when possible.
• A legible and appropriately sized font should be used.
