How to Add Company Logo to Outlook Email Signature in 2018: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you tired of sending professional-looking emails without your company's branding? Adding an email signature with your name, contact information, and most importantly, a well-designed logo can make all the difference. Fortunately for Microsoft Office users, adding a company logo to Outlook email signatures is easier than ever in 2018.

In this article, we'll walk you through two methods on how to add a custom company logo to your outlook email signature: one using an image upload and another via inserting it from Google Drive or any other cloud storage service. Follow along with our step-by-step guide below:

Method 1: Upload an Image

Before getting started, make sure you have the following requirements met:

- Microsoft Office Outlook 2013 (or later) installed on your computer.

- A logo image ready on your computer in .png or another supported format.

Step 1. Open a new email message in Outlook and place your cursor where you want to insert the signature block, usually below the 'Signature' line at the top-left corner of the composition window.

Step 2. Click on 'File' > 'Options.' A dialog box will open with several tabs; select 'Mail.'

Step 3. In the left-hand sidebar under 'Email profiles,' click on your profile name and then choose 'Add signature...' from the drop-down menu that appears next to either 'New email messages' or 'Reply & reply all message.' For this example, we'll use the former option.

Step 4. Give a suitable name for your new signature in the text field provided at the top of the dialog box and click 'OK.'

Step 5. Now navigate back to Outlook's main window by clicking on its icon in the upper-left corner of the screen or press Ctrl+Shift + B (Windows) / Command + Shift + B (Mac).

Method 2: Insert Logo from Google Drive

If you have a logo stored within your Google Drive account, you can easily insert it into an email signature without having to upload and save multiple versions on your local machine. Follow these steps:

Step 1. Log in to your Google Drive account using the same browser as Outlook.

Step 2. Find the desired .png file containing your company logo within My files or any other relevant folder.

Step 3. Right-click (Windows) / Control + Click (Mac) on the selected image and choose 'Get link.' A dialog box will open with two options: 'Link' or 'Copy & paste.' Select either depending upon how you prefer to share the file.

If using Outlook for Mac:

a. Open a new email message in Outlook and place your cursor where you want to insert the signature block, usually below the 'Signature' line at the top-left corner of the composition window.

b. Click on 'Insert' > 'Media.' A pop-up dialog box will appear; click on 'Paste from clipboard.'

c. Copy (Command + C) the link or URL copied in Step 3 above and paste it into this field, then press Enter/Return key once done.

If using Outlook for Windows:

a. Open a new email message in Outlook and place your cursor where you want to insert the signature block, usually below the 'Signature' line at the top-left corner of the composition window.

b. Click on 'Insert' > 'Media.' A dialog box will open with several options; select 'Picture from computer,' then browse for and double-click on the desired .png file containing your company logo.

After following these simple steps, you should now see a small version of your custom logo displayed at the bottom left corner within Outlook's signature editor window. To adjust its size or position further, simply click-and-drag on either side edge until satisfied with its placement.

Troubleshooting Tips

If after completing all above mentioned steps and still encountering issues such as seeing only an empty space where your company logo should appear instead of the actual image; try clearing cache & cookies in Outlook first by following these instructions:

1. Close down Microsoft Office entirely (File > Options > Add-ins > Manage: Com Add-ins).

2. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager on Windows or Command Option + Shift + Escape on Mac.

3. Look for 'winword.exe' under Processes and right-click it, then choose 'Go To File Location' from context menu that appears next.

In the folder where your Outlook application data is stored (usually C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook), delete all files with .dat extension within this directory except for those beginning with 'Signature.'

Restarting Microsoft Office should now resolve any remaining problems related to missing images or grey rectangles displaying instead.

Adding a professional-looking company logo to your Outlook email signature has never been easier. With these simple step-by-step instructions, you'll be able to impress clients and colleagues alike while also ensuring consistency across all outgoing communications in no time at all!
