{{strong|Images of any kind must not be used in signatures}} for the following reasons.
* Excessive or large images can cause issues for users on low-performance devices.
* A new image can be uploaded in place of the one you chose, making your signature a target for possible vandalism.
* They make pages more difficult to read and scan.
* They make it more difficult to copy text from a page.
* They are potentially distracting from the actual content.
* Images do not scale with the text, making the lines with images higher than those without them.
* They clutter up the "file links" list on the respective image's page every time one signs on a different talk page.
* Images in signatures give undue prominence to a given user's contribution.

[[Unicode symbols]] (including [[emoji]]) may be used in your signature, as long as the signature complies with the other guidelines on this page.
