Is your SIGNATURE readable?

Question

One of the most famous signatures is that of John Hancock, the President of the Continental Congress, who proudly signed the Declaration of Independence in large letters so the king could easily read it.

My signature is just a repeatable scribble. You can't read it but I can always recognize my signature.

What about your signature?

Is it neat and legible, easy to read, just a scribble, or maybe something in between?

Well I don't know about you lot but I have multiples levels of passwords.

For sites like GAG I use a low level security password that I have changed for many years. Do I care if it is breached? But I will care about my bank and other financial institutions. I kinda middle level care about Amazon because sometimes I make expensive purchases.

I take exactly the same attitude with my signature. A higher level of secure signature for bank and financial institutions which does look like a repeatable scribble. At the bottom level I have one which looks remarkably like MS Brush Script that I use to sign things I don't care about and want to do on a computer anyway.

Another signature for receiving parcels which is only slightly more complicated than a cross mark.

Best to have several levels of signatures so there are fewer specimens of your bank signature floating around. A girl tried to appropriately recompense herself using my old security pass signature. She was indeed a good lay but not that good.

My initials are clearly legible, but the rest of my signature is scribbled.
My penmanship has never been exemplary, but i had a few jobs in which i had to sign my name frequently. The more i signed, the less i cared about my penmanship. I don’t think it has gotten any worse in years, but another job like those earlier sign-a-thons could change that.
I actually once considered getting a rubber stamp. Ell oh ell!

I purposely make my signature not readable by writing it in an unpredictable and bizarre way, so con artists cannot forge my signature on documents.

I used to know a guy who would forge my signature on documents and I prayed for him to get fired from his job and he got fired less than 2 weeks later.

I received harassing phone calls on my cell phone after talking about him online, which I suspect are him trying to get revenge for exposing him to his ex-coworkers.

They are bot calls trying to steal my credit card information.

I'm a MD if my signature was readable I would lose my license. XD

In certain documents like contracts is readable name and surname obligatory in my country so I have to put occasionally readable signature.

My signature is fairy readable.

CuriousTenya · Answer

My signature looks similar to what the writing of Polish kids (who write since half a year) looks: I never stopped writing like that. It is much more rounded than John Hancock's, and less stylized

Mine was almost an imitation of my father's but his was neater. It's not legible and I chuckle at sites trying to make you sign on trackpad or mouse.

Mine is very readable. It's a holdover from a teacher I had in elementary school who was very strict about penmanship.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

Not really. I see it more as a personal symbol based on what once were letters.
