If you’re concerned about forgery, it may be a better option to make your signature a bit longer and legible by including your entire first and last name and writing clearly. It is so much easier to forge scribbled signatures than to copy the nuances of a legible one. Signatures that include just your initials (with or without the middle initial) are typically considered more formal and business-like than full-name signatures. Sometimes, people who don’t like their first name will leave it out entirely and sign with just their surname, or they may include just their first initial.
Determine your favorite qualities of your printed signature. Do you like the slant, size, shapes of certain letters? Keep track of these so that you can recreate them when personalizing your signature. Pay attention to the size of your handwriting. Studies show that people with very small signatures tend to be overlooked, while people with very large signatures often are arrogant or grandiose. Try to keep your printed/signed name at an average size, similar to the size of your regular writing. [1] X Research source
To make your signature more difficult to read, you can either push letters closer together, or flatten them and spread them further apart. If you don’t want to make your signature easy to read, avoid doing so by leaving out letters or using bad handwriting. These tactics are unprofessional and won’t make your signature look all that great.
Greatly increasing the size of the capitalized letters in your name. Adding a flourish to the tail ends of letters (particularly ‘T,’ ‘Y,’ ‘E,’ and ‘G’). Changing the shape of round/elliptical letters (particularly ‘O,’ ‘U,’ ‘C,’ ‘R,’ ‘B,’ and ‘P’). Incorporating traditional cursive and calligraphy into your signature. Underlining parts of your name. Adding additional shapes and decorative elements.
Practice writing your signature on a daily basis to help expedite this process. Consistency is a key element in changing your signature. If you can’t keep your signature relatively the same between each signing, then you should probably limit the number of changes you’re making. When in doubt, less is more. Although you may want to have a hugely elaborate signature, for the first few months that just might not happen. Keep it simple, and over time add more detail.
