2. In Gmail, click the gear icon, then See all settings.

Works the same in Safari or Chrome, on a Mac or a PC.

Apple Mail rewrites anything you paste into a signature, which is why a pasted logo can come in oversized. Installing it as HTML avoids that and gives a clean stacked layout that stays put. There’s a simpler drag method at the bottom if you’d rather not edit a file.

Your Apple Mail signature code

Copy Apple Mail HTML

Install it (one time)

1. In Mail, go to Mail, Settings, Signatures. Select your dudetalkdinners.org account, click +, and type any placeholder text (like “temp”). Uncheck “Always match my default message font.”
2. Quit Mail completely (Cmd + Q).
3. In Finder, press Cmd + Shift + G and go to ~/Library/Mail/. Open the folder named V with the highest number (for example V10), then MailData, then Signatures.
4. Find the file ending in .mailsignature that you just made (sort by Date Modified; it’s the newest). Open it with TextEdit.
5. Leave the few header lines at the top alone. Delete everything below the blank line under them (your placeholder text), then paste the copied code in its place. Save.
6. Back in Finder, click the file once, press Cmd + I, and check Locked so Mail doesn’t overwrite it.
7. Reopen Mail. Your stacked signature appears. Set it as the default for your account.

If it doesn’t stick, iCloud is probably syncing your Mail signatures. Turn off Mail in System Settings → Apple ID → iCloud, or just use the simple method below.

Simpler alternative (no file editing)

1. In Mail → Settings → Signatures, add a new signature and uncheck “Always match my default message font.”
2. Click Copy signature at the top of this tab and paste it in.
3. If a large logo appears, click it and press Delete, then drag the signature logo (already sized) into place. Use only one logo.

Set your signature up on a computer instead. When you send from Gmail on the web, your signature is applied automatically no matter which device you started on, and it’s far more reliable than the phone apps.

The Mail and Gmail apps on iPhone and iPad only allow plain-text signatures and won’t show the logo, so there’s nothing to gain by setting it up there. Do it once on a computer using the Gmail steps above and you’re covered.
