[ARCHIVED THREAD] - How much does your signature change?

Posted: 9/18/2004 8:00:18 PM EDT

We went to Hawaii recently. We took a bunch of travelers checks. I signed some and my wife signed some. My wifes signature never changes. Same thing every time. Mine on the other hand is not the same every time. After signing a couple dozen travelers checks, my signature was not the same as it was when I started. It evolved from my standard sig to a more sloppy version after signing it a bunch of times back to back. Even day to day my sig will vary. I have the "official" version and the "I don't give a crap" version and lots in between.

Is your sig the same every time you sign or does it change?

Changes...but it is still mine.

Mine changes like yours does. The more I sign it the more it degrades in quality. Not that you could read it anyway to begin with.

My signature was forever changed after filling out military enlistment forms at/before boot camp.

It was somewhat legible before, and now is not much more than a scibble.

My signature is never the same twice. Perhaps this is the reason it was suggested that the company payroll checks (cheques) be changed to a rubber stamp.

My sig looked the same for years, then I changed the style of my "D"

I kind of like the old D better than the new D

Mine changes a little. I always do 2 very minor things to insure that it is mine.

My first name is very legible, but my last name changes a lot. Sometimes you can read the entire thing, other times you can only make out the first letter.

Mine changes too, it usually looks similar but you can tell the difference most of the time.

No 2 are ever the same...

My sig is worthless as a form of ID/Authentication...

Changes.

I was at a bank in Singapore trying to cash a traveler's check - you sign them once at the bank and a second time in front of the guy taking the check. The guy wants to see my 10 year old passport and wants me to sign my travelers checks the way I signed my passport ten years ago!

LOL, I can see that whole scenario unfolding!

Mine stays pretty consistent . Even though it really isn't any known text

It's more of a symbol that I can reproduce in a single motion without lifting the pen .
Fewer pen lifts by the way makes it harder to forge .

I knew a jewler in Kalifornistan that used a symbol as his signature. It was very distinctive and in no way represented anything like a signature.
