This signature is suitable for IT professionals for a few reasons:
Colors
Blue and grey are automatically correlated with IT and technology. Moreover, various shades shown as pixels look appealing to the eye and give a modern and professional feel. The template is not overly eye-catching and for a reason – it should be an integrated part of the message, with no promotional banners.
Layout
The clear sections provide an easy way to find out who the sender of the message is and how to contact them. What is more, the photo is a much more effective way of finding out the identity of the message’s sender than just their name. People like to know that there is a face on the other side of the screen. Therefore, an email signature for IT professional should definitely include a nice, smiley face.
Below personal information, a quote can be found. You can use it for variety of reasons, for example:
- as a reminder about a policy which is in action,
- in order to provide a link to a procedure or user’s manual,
- also, as an attempt at humor.
Data
