- Gmail, amongst others, will only display your logo if it’s verified by a certificate authority. This process involves purchasing a Verified Mark Certificate (VMC), which costs around ~$1200 per year.

2. **Gravatar**

Some email clients use [**Gravatar**](https://gravatar.com/) to display avatars. You can create a Gravatar profile **for free** (using your workspace's email address) and if the recipient’s client supports it, your Gravatar's profile picture will show in the emails you send.

In the abscense of BIMI, Gmail will pull the avatar from the profile picture you use in your Gmail-managed email. You can do this from your Gmail inbox or follow [these instructions](https://support.google.com/mail/answer/35529)

Ultimately, the avatar that appears next to your emails depends entirely on the recipient's email client and its rendering choices.
