Change the font color of your name to match the branding of your facility. This helps it stand out and adds consistency to your overall marketing.
Go a step further and change the font color of your title and email address to match your name. This helps your referring physicians quickly identify what they need in a well-organized signature. Another benefit of adding color to portions of your signature is that it will break up your name, title, and website from the middle portion featuring your business address.
Remember to test your color on multiple devices to be sure it is clearly visible.
3. Get Creative With Your Layout

For example, add your facility’s logo to your signature and move it out to the right of your contact information. Enlarge your logo to cover ⅔ of the signature. Since we read from left to right, your contact information is the first that is read and your logo is the last. Embed a link to your website within your logo for an interesting Call to Action.
