Google has finally added two of the features I have really been waiting for - Rich Text Signatures and unique signatures for different e-mail addresses. See Official GMail Blog. 
Rich text signatures let you create a .sig for your e-mail account using different fonts, colors, links, images, etc. Make it as fancy as you want or keep it simple. Add a company logo, highlight your phone number, whatever.
The other feature was to allow you to have different signatures for each e-mail address you are sending mail from in that account. I use my Google Apps account as my central e-mail point. Mail from several accounts end up there and I send out messages from those accounts from there. In the past, if I let GMail add a signature, it was the same for each of the different accounts. Now I can set up a different signatures for my personal mail and my work mail. Or no sig file for the account that I use to post to Posterous with.
Much of this could be done using browser plug-ins or extensions, but this is a clean implementation that works really well. I've been using Wisestamp to do this. Wisestamp works in both Chrome and Foxpro, but had the limitation of only giving you two signatures - say one for business and one personal - but did let you embed your twitter, facebook and other social networking stuff in a really slick way.
Oh... this works with both GMail and Google Apps mail accounts.
Thanks Google.
