If you own a domain (www.xxx.com), you can sign up for a free Google Apps Standard Edition Account for your domain email (abc@xxx.com). It looks more professional than abc@gmail.com or abc@yahoo.com. Google Apps has two editions - Standard (free) and Premier (paid). I believe most people would be happy with the free version which gives you up to 50 email accounts per domain. It also offer you features like Google Calendar and Google Docs.
However, it only allow you to set up text version of signature, no image or logo.
So, if you want to have a custom signature with your company logo, you need to first download Google-Chrome.
Second, download Autopen (google-chrome extension).
And then upload your logo on to Picasa (free google online album).
Drag your logo to the "http://" area, it will show up the image's URL. This URL will be use later.
Back to the Autopen Signature Editor page - Add New >
type in new signature name > check Insert signature
after reply/forward > check Enable Synchronization > type in the
email and
password for the new signature account > Click on “Insert/edit Image”
icon.
The Insert page will show up. Copy and Paste the logo's URL here, select the Alignment Left, type in the logo size you want in the Dimensions (try 130x130 if your logo is square), and the click Insert. Your logo should show up in the edit box.
Continue typing your contact information > click
Save > Click Sync Now > It will redirect to your email account.
Now, you should see your newly designed signature show up in your compose email page.
If you have different email accounts using Google Apps, you can repeat the steps to create different signatures for different email accounts. You will have the options to choose which signature to use.
Remember, this custom signature feature only work with Google-Chrome. It will not work if you are using Firefox, Safari or IE.
