Signature plays a whital role in every one. Most probably all of them has different styles and types of signatures. Each of them represent a personality as citizen of a country. In my opinion a persons signature must be unique. It should change from time to time. Once a person select a particular type of signature of a style, the person must be capable to put the same signature on any piece of paper. There are many people around us who used to put fake signatures of other personalities. Honestly i also do the same but it is just for fun. Did you ever put any fake signatures in a piece of paper of other personality? What do you think of such pratices? . What made you to create your style and pattern of your signature? How does it look? .Must a signature be unique for every personality? . Do you use your signature in every day life? How important is your signature in the day to day life? Share your thoughts!

Hi the wonderboy, I have two signatures which I have been using for ages. I sign the same signature on checks and other important documents. The other is a rather short and simple one which I usually drop it on notes conveniently to friends and dear ones. They can see it when receiving my Chinese New Year and Birthday cards Happy posting

I have two signatures one is with my maiden name and with my husband surname. But I normally used with my maiden name. I'm more comfortable using that since I don't sign any important things only bank accounts.

I do use my signature most everyday. I remember being a child and practicing my name but as I got older and perfected it, that is when it became mine. I practiced making it "pretty" or original. I think it's neat how everyone writes so differently. I think it would be nest to know how the handwriting specialists determine the differences in some signatures. Some of them can look very much alike.

I don't use my signature regularly, only when there needs to be signed. But, it rarely happens, so no I don't use it in my everyday life. I think signatures are important for that is a unique way of knowing who you are. Frauds may be able to follow your signature but experts can easily identify it. My signature is really bad, I hate it. I just can't change it because that is the one I am using for most of my important documents.

I wonder why you did not make your signature stylish in the early ages ?

I have no interest in others' signatures. I have mine with the bank and i guess that is what matters to me. Okay, I have no issues of the preferences of others but that faking of signatures or even the celeb signatures never interest me. I am about me, myself and am happy that I am that way. My signatures are quite simple, easy and reflect that I am open and do not hide. Yes, that is the way my persona is. So I do agree with you that the signature does describe the personality.

@wonderboy Dear, I told you above on my response - my signature is just a simple one written quite simply. Nothing artistic. It is my handwriting which always is as clear as this typed out text. I cannot feel comfortable with complex writing as that doesnt go with me. And I know it is bad as it is the easiest to copy. This is why I have different signatures all around - when I was working, my attendance sheet had a different version, it is different for the bank, it is still different for when I write letters to friends or even my wife. I try to stay away from complexities as I already have many in my life.

@saumitraa Bro, there is only one thing which I see important - doing things the way you are comfortable with. Your signature is your identity and many a times, people always get us the wrong way.. and it is quite difficult to change for each and everyone in the world. So dear, just be your self. That way you are at peace and happy that you are doing something which interests you

Hey thesids, I always make sure that my signature is is unique and difficult to others to use it. Now there are a lot of people who uses them. So i select my signature as a very difficult one. What about you? Do you make sure that your signature is very tough and cannot copied by others?

yeah, sighature plays a very important part in all walks of our lives.When you take the express,depositing or reckoning,etc you must sign your name on the paper.As for me, my signature is always the same(signed by myself).For the fake ome, I think that it is a only a means of commercial speculation reflecting how beautiful this word it is.So no need to put a unique style or pattern on your signature, because it is your name, you must write it by yourself.

Since they are used in all paths of your life. Do you case it. Do you take safety measures not to copy by others?

HI! Signature is our public image and our hand writing is our private image and both may differ. There are some persons whose hand writing and signature are similar, but they are few. I do not try to fake others' signature as this would be unethical and unbecoming of me. I also do not change my signature, I've been doing the same signature for years together even in my bank accounts and I never faced any problem that my signatures were not matching. I have been working on such a post that am required to sign lots of paper everyday in my office.

I believe each of the persons signature is very significant and on one has the right to copy or make it wounded. I had created my signature from a collection of all other good signature and i enjoy putting them. Did you ever fed up by putting signature continously from the office?

Hiya wonderboy, Love my signature it spreads all over the place and leans to right hand side too so I have a lot of trouble making it very small writing as well when the Postman delivers you a packet and you have to sign for it and the space is very small as well to put your signature in. Never thought about signing with another PersonĀ“s name but yes that is fun. One thing for sure is I would never try and use it say for my Passport lol.xxx

Over here there are less rules. It's no problem if nobody can read your signature and it's impossible to check if it doesn't already exist. I hardly use my signature, many things are arranged by the internet and even there you don't need to write your signature anymore. Mostly it's a combination of name/date of birth and something else (for example number of your bankaccount). Pay cheques already don't exist here since 15 years or so (perhaps longer). I don't think you will find many people over here who will use a fake signature, I think it's childish as well to do so, besides of the fact it is illegal. What is on your ID is your signature, if they do check it out you are in big trouble.

I mostly used to make my signature at the best. On my childhood days i used to copy some writing sty to adopt in my signature and this is the key behind my signature.what about you? What is the key behind your signature?

yes, signature plays a very important role, my inspiration behind my signature is, is my mom, when i was a child ,i used to observe her, signing on the files etc, i used to practice that, but of course as i grew up i designed my own signature, but still i feel there is something in my signature ,which reflects that of my mom' signature, i strongly feel that in some or the other way, its some what similar to my mom's sign. changing signature from time to time, i never thought about it, but got a new idea after seeing this topic here, so i might try this now....hehe what an idea... thank you

I think signature is our identity . Any one can identify itself by a signature only .

Do you keep them as very important matter? How you care it without getting the people to make a duplicate copy of it?

Well signature has a valid role in life since it gives us the identification (via certificates) and uniqueness to other people. My signature style is simple, it's just the first letter of my Given name and my Surname and I want to change it to some time. I use it only when i sign to some agreements or papers.

I think changing signature time to time can only be done by students who still doesn't sign much of significant legal papers. It's quite impossible to change it always especially if that signature is what you've used in your Citizenship or Registration thingy in your municipality, bank accounts and other stuffs like that. I have heard many theories on how signatures symbolizes the person, their success and things like that, but I don't believe them although it's kinda entertaining to hear those stories every now and then. I've been careful when I've finally chosen the signature that I'll be using probably till the end of my life. I made it hard for other to copy it. I've kept in mind to make my signature unique and hard to copy so nobody can make use of it other than me. I've seen other people copy their parent's signature when they sign their card (record of grade), I did it once too, when I've forgot to ask my Mom to sign it before I went to school, but I told her about it once I got home. My friends usually ask me to copy our teachers' signature during clearance because they thought I can do that stuff just because I know how to draw. I may know how to draw but I'm bad at writing at scripts and I don't like to involve myself in that stuff so I always refuse. I don't use them everyday, only when signing papers in school and in other business. My signature includes my whole name and surname, although many people don't know how heck did I included it when they couldn't recognize any letter in it. LOL! XD

Well, I do agree with you that signatures play a vital role in everybody's life. I certainly do have my own signature and use it sometimes. This is because I am quite young and do not have much important things where I can and should place my signature. I do not put fake signatures of other personalities but sometimes I change my own signature and put it in different styles! Lol! I do this only when I have to put my signature on places which aren't important. Umm... when I play with my friends any kind of business game or anything else for fun, I do put different signatures of mine! Lol! And the signature I use everywhere, it just came in my mind. I don't think that my signature is unique because the way I put my signature is writing the initial letter of my name. I wish and try to change my signature so that it looks unique but then it never happens sadly. Now when it is about making fake signatures for fun, it doesn't matter but if someone is putting a fake signature on some important document or anything like that, then it is definitely wrong. And importantly, according to laws, making forge signatures is a crime! So, to remain safe, we should probably avoid doing that. :)

Hi, Signatures which i use is very simple in nature and i am sure you can copy them very easily too. I have not felt the change of it as you said. Of course when i signed at my school at the age of 14 was different from my present one as those days i hardly thought of signing any paper with a value. As we grow we learn a lot and we develop our own signatures. I never do any fake signs but yes on signing some official bills, office records etc i just use my two initials and that is also easy for copying...

hi, I have chosen my style of signature and as per me it is simple and attractive and i am using it right from my school life.. Signature plays an important role in our life. It reflects our identity, personality in a society. I have never tried to put a fake signature and will never. Because it is a bad practice and one should be away from it always.
