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?

@AlEverett no, it doesn't. I have the rich signatures discussed there, but I can see how to float an image to left. – Joel Coehoorn Dec 6 '11 at 2:45

Please follow the steps

  1. Create a table of one row with two column having border none in Microsoft Word.

  2. Place the image on the left column and Signature in the right column.

  3. Copy the table and paste it in the signature area.

You will find the image on the left side and the text on the right side.

Haha, that worked great! The image didn't show at first (didn't upload), but it created a space that I could move an image I added to the signature separately into. – Joel Coehoorn Dec 6 '11 at 15:50
To follow up, since I just had to repeat this: This method works, but when you paste the signature into gmail the images won't show up. To get the images to show up, you then have to place them to a public web space of some kind and open them up in a web browser. Then you can drag them (probably requires google chrome) next to the placeholders that show up in your signature settings, remove the original placeholder, and all is well. – Joel Coehoorn Oct 12 '12 at 20:18

You can also do Hoque's suggestion via Google Docs. That's what I did. That 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.

Thanks Hoque for providing the suggestion!
