Social Media Avatars

To maintain a consistent look and feel across all of Texas State University’s social media accounts, University Marketing has designed social media avatars that properly incorporate the university’s brand.  

 Do not use social media avatars outside of social media. Use our approved logos in publications or on merchandise.

What Are Social Media Avatars?

Social media avatars are graphics or images that represent a user on their social media profile(s). The use of a branded avatar can help social media users instantly recognize your official university account.

How Do I Get My TXST Avatar?

Review our policies for new accounts and register your new or existing official account(s) to receive your pre-made avatar.

All social media accounts created to represent Texas State University and any of its divisions, units, colleges, departments, programs, offices, or centers must utilize the branded social media avatar. Exceptions can be made for select accounts with unique, previously approved, logos.
