Professional image: A consistent and good-looking signature reinforces trust in your company.
Ease of reading: A legible signature makes it easy to contact you.
Communication on multiple devices: Your signature should look good on both a computer and a smartphone.

Limit the number of elements: Too many graphic elements can cause display problems on some email clients.
Choose a readable font: Avoid ornate fonts that can render poorly.
Use simple colors: Contrasting colors make it easier to read.

Userthumbnail variable: This variable allows you to dynamically insert your profile picture. You can define its width and roundness to suit your preferences. And when the photo is missing because some employees don't have one, it's no problem. By using the userthumbnail variable, the missing photo will be automatically filled by the rest of the signature.
Other variables: check the gSignature documentation to learn about other available variables that you can use to personalize your e-mail signature.
