Digital Signage at San Pedro I
UT San Antonio uses digital signage to visually showcase events, announcements, deadlines and information on flat panel screens located across UT San Antonio's campuses. It's a cost-effective, eco-friendly and efficient way to widely distribute your information and strategic messaging to the university community and visitors.
We only accept and review digital signage submissions from across the university for possible rotation on the San Pedro I playlist.

- Consult the UT San Antonio Visual Style Guide for more information on complying with the UTSA brand.
- For legibility, please use 24 pt. or larger font size. Keep text copy to a minimum!
- QR codes are acceptable for digital signage at San Pedro I due to screens at eye level.
