Resolution 

NOTE: The steps described here assume that you have already created an email signature. For more information, see how you can create a signature.
CAUTION!
- All email clients do not support animated GIFs, and you may have issues with the GIF not animating as required.

  2. From the left-hand side pane, drag the Image/Logo element and drop it onto the canvas at the desired location.
