It's possible to have an icon show in gmail rather than just a letter that they choose. It helps make it look more professional and enhances the brand. The SP favicon we have I think would be perfect for it.

I found some instructions for how to do it here, though no doubt there are others:
https://blog.james.cridland.net/how-to-get-your-logo-or-picture-to-appear-with-your-emails-in-gmail-and-inbox-by-gmail-if-you-89650077be7

( I've already done the gmail way by setting the profile photo for sketchplanator@gmail.com as the favicon, but I don't think that's related to sketchplanations.com )

You can check if it's set up correctly here:
https://bimigroup.org/bimi-generator/

It's also showing no MX or DMARC record

James Clear's email actually has a moving gif as his icon. Probably more than is needed.

@jonohey DMARC set up. You're going to get a report every Monday on hello@sketchplanations.com (forwarded to jono.hey@gmail.com). Feel free to set up a filter to archive and ignore it when it comes in.
