I have got my Outlook emails synched to my iPad (finally!!) and have since been reserahcing into getting my logo (on my normal Outlook footer) onto my iPad email footer.

There are quite a few Apps for it but they all seem to insert your image as a thumbnail and not a larger image.

Anyone got any recommendations?

Not possible as I understand it. Apple mail client works differently and doesn't format like Outlook. It's bad form to use big graphical emails signatures now. More people use mobile to read email: this slows down their email, uses up their data allowance and often gives you no clickable link to email or call back.

Totally agree!

Mobile is where it's at and the technology is limited. True about data allowance too. Businesses need to start thinking more aout of the box when it comes to graphic email signatures.

I run a creative consultancy and we dont use them at all - and were into pushing brands! 

Reasons being :

1. Data allowance usage and how people interact with email

2. They look naff and offer no value to the reader

3. Have no marketing purpose other than pushing the brand - and there are better ways to do that!

4. If you have large clients, emails with graphics in will be blocked and even if they do get through their firewalls the graphics wont show up anyway!

 

We use typography to get the brand across. You should think about how your brand is written in standard text and develop that as part of your identity. Weve done this and its very effective.

I hope this helps.

 

Many thanks
