Sign Me This?
I’ve noticed recently that my signature is an evolving piece of artwork, and not necessarily getting better but rather heading the other way.
The more I sign the more it seems to look nothing like my name and the more simplistic it is getting.
My signature originally started off plain and you could read each letter as it was basically printed because I always thought it was weird how you couldn’t read peoples signatures.
It then evolved a few times before I got to the point where you could read my first initial and the first half of my surname and the rest was a single line.
Now it always looks different, but mostly looks like a C followed by a big t.
I now find myself having to forge my own signature when signing for my credit card as my current signature looks nothing like it and even then I’m not that good at forging it and am waiting to have it knocked back!
I think I might try to evolve it more and change it into a pretty cloud or some other random object… heck if it looks nothing like my name now why not go all the way!

My signature changed when I was working for the production company, and had to sign hundreds of times every day. It became the squiggle that it is now, and I’m not too keen to make it more legible.
