Templates for Download

While we are always happy to help you with your design needs, we understand that there are some projects that are easier to accomplish with self-serve files. To help serve this need, we are excited to offer a library of branded templates for university departments and schools to download. Current templates include:

Official business cards, letterhead (print and electronic) and/or envelopes, which adhere to the university's branding guidelines, can be purchased through iBuy. Look for "Dupli" under the Office Supplies and Furniture section of iBuy.

You may also download the individual GW Brand graphic elements if desired.

If you have a recurring project and think you may need a template that is not provided here, please submit a project request. We will reach out to discuss your needs after reviewing your submission.


 

Email Signatures

Email signature templates are available for use on Gmail, Outlook, Mac Mail app, iPhone and iPad Mail app, and the Android Gmail app.

Official email signatures should only be used by GW faculty and staff. Please ensure your email signature reflects the most current template available.

 


 

Zoom and Webex Virtual Backgrounds

There are several background options to choose from featuring refreshed GW branding.

Note: Virtual backgrounds may not be available on all versions of Zoom and Webex. If you have questions about using backgrounds on your computer or mobile device, contact the GW IT Support Center.
