We’re getting a fresh new look for our social media profiles! Maintaining a cohesive and consistent look across UF/IFAS social media profiles is essential for several reasons:

• Professional appearance: A uniform look enhances our professionalism and ensures we are perceived as organized and credible.
• Brand recognition: Consistent imagery helps reinforce our brand identity, making it easier for people to recognize and remember us.
• Trust and reliability: When our profiles look consistent, it builds trust with our audience, as they can easily identify our official accounts and know they are engaging with the right entity.
• Individual unit recognition: We built the templates not only to create UF/IFAS brand consistency but also to support individual departments and units.  There is space to include either your name or an icon that represents your department or unit.
