The Modern email signature template sets your details in two lanes split by a thin line in your brand color: the photo with round social icons beneath it on the left, and your name, title and contact rows over the logo on the right. It suits anyone who wants a clean, current signature that works for a whole team.

Good for: Most teams. It's the plainest of the ten, and it reads well with or without a photo.

What's in it

  • A photo, 80px wide, in the shape you crop it to.
  • Your name in bold, then your title.
  • Phone, email and website, each after a one-letter label (P, E, W) that you can rename or remove.
  • Social profiles as round icons, three to a row, under the photo.
  • The logo at the bottom of the right lane, lined up with the icons. A square logo gets the company name beside it, and with no logo the company joins your title.
  • Without a photo, the left lane goes and the icons move next to the logo.

Like every layout, it can also carry:

  • A sign-off line above the signature, such as “Best regards,”.
  • Your company's address and a disclaimer line below it, in small type on white.
  • A “View my card” link, if you turn on a digital business card for that person.
  • A banner under the signature, if your organization publishes banners.

Font: Arial unless you pick another font.

In Gmail, Outlook and Apple Mail

We haven't tested the Modern layout in each mail app yet, so this page doesn't say how it looks there. To install it, follow the steps for Gmail, Outlook or Apple Mail, then send yourself an email to check it.

For every layout: classic Outlook for Windows blocks automatic picture downloads by default, so a reader there may see the photo and logo only after clicking “Download Pictures”.

Tips for the Modern layout

  • Crop the photo close to the face. It shows at 80px, so a full-length shot reads as a small figure.
  • A wide wordmark logo works best here. A square symbol gets the company name next to it so it still says who you are.
  • The right lane grows with your longest line, so a very long title makes the whole signature wider. Keep it to one line where you can.
