A graphical element integrated into an email signature and stored on a server constitutes a hosted image. This image, typically a company logo or promotional banner, is linked to the email signature via a URL. When an email is sent, the recipient’s email client retrieves and displays the image from the designated server.
Employing hosted graphics ensures consistency in branding across all employee email communications. Because the image is centrally stored and managed, updates or changes to the graphic are automatically reflected in all outgoing emails. This approach also mitigates potential issues with image display caused by recipients’ email client settings or file size limitations, thus enhancing the professionalism and visual appeal of the sender’s correspondence.
