Content guidelines

General

  • Capitalize both initials.
  • Don't use periods or other punctuation in the name.
  • Include only the user's name when using a tooltip with an avatar. Don't add unnecessary content.
  • A common subtitle for the avatar is a lowercase email address. If the subtitle is a description, use sentence case. End any sentences with periods.
  • The avatar should display the first letters of a user's first and last name as the initials.
