email-signaturegmailgoogle-workspace
I have a Google Apps e-mail account. I want to include the company logo to the left of my signature text.
The only way I can find to do this so far is to build it so that the text is part of the image. I do not want to do it this way, because then the text part would not be visible to anyone not showing images in their e-mail client.
Is there a way to make this work?
Google recently announced support for rich text in signatures. That means you can now configure the font family, size and color, as well as insert images into the signature. Just go to your gmail settings and you'll find it right there, no need to enable as a lab feature or anything! It's possible it hasn't been expanded to Google Apps for your domain yet, in which case it should be coming pretty soon.

You can keep a draft ready with the signature to be used as a template every time you want to send a message (time consuming). Wisestamp will also use external hosted images (feature already in Gmail).
Considering all this, using a mail client is the only option if you want to use inline images in signature.

You can do this via Google Docs. That's what I did. Just as with the MS Word solution, make a Google Sheet or Document with the table arrangement you need: in this case, one row and two columns. Put the image in the left column and your signature text in the right column. Now share the document as public, so that anyone with the link can see it. Then copy/paste from the document to your signature.
In this way, the image will show up the first time, as your Google Doc is like a space in the web from which the signature can draw the picture from.
