What these signatures include
- Name, title and company on line one.
- Email, phone and site on line two.
- At most one social icon and one text link.
- A small logo if you have one — never a photo.
What works in this style
- 1
Use compact for internal mail and replies; keep a fuller version for first contact.
- 2
One social icon at most — the layout is meant to be short.
- 3
A small logo fits; a photo does not, by design.
Common questions
- Can Gmail use a different signature for replies?
- Yes — Gmail lets you set one signature for new messages and another for replies and forwards. Use the full design for new mail and the compact one for replies.
Every template here is free to customize in the signature generator and install yourself. If your company runs on Google Workspace, the same design can be applied to every employee from the admin side — see how team management works.
