My email signature is as follows:
Name
Email
PhoneWebsite
Personally, when I see graphics as signatures I cringe. I think email signatures should be simple and never contain images. Just curious on other's views.

My name

Address line one
Address line twoOne thing I absolutely HATE is clients who include a little logo gif and an eco-awareness gif in their emails as attachments. If they include actual attachments necessary to the work I'm doing I have to save everything into the job folder and that pisses me off.

Logo (optional)(By adding all of these things to your signature, it makes it really easy for Outlook or other email clients to easily store your contact info.) In Microsoft Outlook, I can select all of this info, and then click a button to add it to my contact manager in one click.

what about work hours? I put work hours on my sign so customers no when not to call me :D

agreed. I work in house and it's funny how I have a plain text signature and everyone else has hacked .gifs from the website as their signature.
and like someone else said it's annoying because all of your job folders get's filled with people's random signatures.
I also hate annoying formatting, all upper case emails, backgrounds, comic sans, upper case comic sans, and most of all– emails marked as urgent.
- +1. I particularly enjoy the client who responds with "Please see my edits below in caps, light blue bold and italicized."awkwardmedia
