Outlook has limited support for background images in email signatures. Instead of CSS backgrounds, try using a table with a background color or wrapping the content in a VML-based solution for better compatibility. If you're designing a professional https://exclaimer.com/email-signature-handbook/html-email-signature/, using inline styles and well-structured tables can help ensure better rendering across different email clients. Hope this helps!
