I'm not an expert in this but I seemed to find a good solution that worked for me that looks good on all devices and OS's.
In 2009, I went from PC to Mac. However, I liked my email signature that I had on my PC in Outlook. It just worked everywhere and looked similar on most computers. I couldn't replicate it on the Mac for the life of me.
If I remember correctly, I ended up exporting out the signature from Outlook, and then brought it into the Mac and converted it to a signature file. Now it looks the same both on PC and Mac. Degrades on phones nicely too.
Again (if I remember correctly), Outlook had all of this Outlook-specific CSS etc that made it work nicely on a PC and a MAC and all of this other code for fonts etc.
As far as converting to a Mac email signature, just Google that. I remember finding one that was pretty simple to implement, albeit a bit tedious.
I'm also linking my logo that's in my signature to an image file on my server. That way an image file isn't being attached with every email I send, same thing with the LinkedIn logo.
- Never rely on Outlook for any HTML formatting. Outlook is the rare piece of software that actually got worse HTML support with version 2007 and newer.

- Yeah, I understand that its actual HTML prolly sucks but most PC folks use Outlook.fyoucher1
- But if it's working on Outlook, then it doesn't really matter.fyoucher1
