Email signatures are pointless. It's wishful thinking that your email will be read at all, let alone all the way to the bottom. They often have utter junk like your email address in which is already in the header. It's just bloat, don't have one. If you absolutely must have one don't use tables and 'web safe fonts', colours etc as it is awful for accessibility. Plain text only. Presumably with your phone number or something daft so people you didn't want to call you do.

It's not for me, it's for my wife's relatively new business venture (production company). They're on board with a pretty streamlined signature, but still do want one.
What's required is literally just a w200px logo image and then 3 lines of text below that. I need to specify font, font size and font colour. I can edit all that stuff in an HTML doc, my issue is that I'm struggling to actually get Mail to execute the html rather than just show the source code.

They’re helpful in telling people who’s who at a company, but they’ve now become mini emails themselves bloated with promotional material, legal disclaimers, and corporate wellbeing spiel.

Legal requirement under the companies act I thought?

Why are email signatures such a pile of bullshit?
Can anyone point me in the direction of some html code for a signature that’s literally just a logo image and then 3 lines of text, with the (web safe) font, size and colour specified.
I feel like that should be easy but I’m clearly missing something as my crude attempt at an html table didn’t work when I pasted it in to the signature settings in Mail.
