Email Signature Format

Just wondering how people format their signature on work email:

-what is the structure (name, title, company name, address, office #, cell #, etc) -what font/font size do you use? -do you use some sort of company logo or is it all text? -does everyone within your group, or even your entire firm, have the same format, or do people differ?

F. Ro Joalways wondered why people used mobile instead of cell in signatures. happens at my firm too.
Same reason some people still use facsimile instead of fax - it's pretentious

What is the point of an email signature for a college student? Serious question. Most of the people who you will be emailing (classmates, professors, etc.) see you on a weekly basis, unlike professionals who may never see each other, making signature contact information important. I would remove it. It looks toolish (like that "incoming summer analyst" thing).

EDIT: If you do decide to keep the signature, I would remove the degrees. They are not certifications or anything. If you are a CPA, CFA, etc., put that after your name, but listing degrees (like the people who say "Jon Doe, MBA") is annoying.
