Scenario
You are ready to create a new signature, and you want to build a new template on an empty canvas instead of using Exclaimer's pre-created templates.
NOTE: All Exclaimer signatures are created and edited in the Signature Designer only. You cannot access or edit the HTML of a signature as this is not possible in our Designer.
Resolution
You can open a blank canvas to start creating a new signature. To use a pre-defined template instead, see How to create a signature using a pre-defined Exclaimer template.
NOTE: If you are using an Exclaimer trial subscription, you can begin a Brand Kit from the Choose a Template window. Upload a logo, choose a font and color, then select Save and apply to proceed with creating a signature with your Brand Kit assets. For more assets (including more images and colors) and to edit a Brand Kit, see the Brand Kits screen.
To create a signature on a blank canvas:
- Log in to Exclaimer and select Signatures from the menu sidebar.
- Select Create Signature. This opens the Choose a Template window.
- From the list of Layouts, select Start With Blank. You may have to scroll. This opens a blank canvas in the Signature Designer.

Select Start With Blank.
- [Optional] Set a name for your new signature by selecting the signature name in the header. Edit the text to enter your signature name.

Select to edit your signature name.
- To save your signature, select Save Changes or select Save in the unsaved changes banner.
Next Steps: Once you have created a signature, you can start designing it using signature elements. See our knowledge base resources on all the available signature elements in the Edit Signature Design section. For tips on building a signature, see our guidelines for signature design and take a look at our Signature Lookbook for inspiration.
