In the Middle Ages, people were not particularly original and literate, and instead of signatures they left crosses, checkmarks or other graphic signs. Nowadays they take the choice of signature more seriously. In order to leave your signature on a document, you need to figure out how to make it original and beautiful. A person’s autograph speaks of his responsibility and awareness.

Many have observed that famous people almost always have a beautiful autograph. And this is correct, because in this way people try to be remembered and stand out from others. In order to decide what your signature will be, imagine it in your mind. And we will show you how to do this in practice.

You will need:

The nature and information conveyed by the signature

Start with the nature of your signature, whether it will be simple or more complex. It can be based on your first name, last name, or initials. When you decide on the meaning and the letters, supplement them with unusual beautiful signs or symbols. Among women's signatures, various curls and roundness are observed; men most often use straight lines. But it could be different.

A longer, more complex signature could be your signature.

The more different elements it contains, the higher the likelihood that no one will be able to fake it.

Depending on your profession, decide how much time you can spend on your autograph each time.

For example, doctors do not spend much time on their signature; most often no one can make it out, and, accordingly, no one can repeat it either. People with a creative profession (journalists, writers, artists) should think about the beauty of their painting and spend more time on it.

Most cases indicate that signatures that are made clearly, beautifully and clearly are more difficult to forge, and illegible curlicues are repeated more often. The more details, the better.

Analyze your signature today

Look at your signature and think about what you put into it. Analyze what pros and cons you see in it. Maybe not everything is so bad and you can add just a few elements.

Then write your three main letters (the first letters of your last name, first name and patronymic) on a piece of paper. Try to combine them in a fairly orderly manner and somehow emphasize and highlight them.

Choose one letter to become the main component.

Signatures of famous personalities

Review signatures of famous people. Many of them are famous for their unusual autographs. Salvador Dali, John Hancock, Picasso, A. Pushkin, Lady Gaga... If you like any element, do not be afraid to use it for your signature. Playing with letters and symbols will not harm her.

Some celebrities used this technique: first they indicated the first letter of their name, then put a dot and wrote out the full last name.

This signature is immediately remembered. You can complement the painting with an unusual curl, which will play a key role.

You can complicate your signature using different patterns. A man's strict painting with a lot of patterns will not look very representative. In this case, it is much easier for women; you can use your imagination to the fullest.

Some people make their signature unique by putting a heart or an asterisk together with the tail above the “th” or above other letters.

Highlight letters

• If your signature is neat and legible, you can highlight the first letter, making it look sloppy and weird. You can do the opposite.
• The next method involves underlining. After you sign, you can underline everything completely or underline only the first letter. You can use different types of underlines: curls or zigzags.
• Use the Latin alphabet or letters from another beautiful language. You can combine them with Russians. Put the main letter, for example, in French, and write the rest in Cyrillic. Finally, add a distinctive element.

A facsimile helps to verify a person’s identity and is present on important documents: passports, notary papers, contracts, deeds of sale and purchase of real estate, etc. It is desirable that a person’s signature does not change throughout his life. Although, a woman changes her painting with each marriage in accordance with her new surname.

However, everyone wants to make their painting the most beautiful. How to achieve this?

How to come up with an original and beautiful painting for yourself?

For the job to be successful, you should stock up on paper, a ballpoint pen and maximum patience. It is not advisable to use pens with gel refills, as they visually improve handwriting.

Beautiful paintings made using gel rods can look completely unpresentable if written with a pencil or simple ink:

• The easiest way to come up with the most beautiful painting in the world is based on your last name. Most often, the first 3-4 letters of the surname are left for the signature. The most interesting options are obtained if the facsimile begins with a consonant. You can carefully write the first letters and add an elegant flourish at the end. By the way, psychologists say that a person’s success largely depends on his strokes. If the squiggle goes down, a person is dooming himself to failure in advance. If in the final part of the signature the stroke tends upward, a positive start is guaranteed;
• Beautiful paintings on a passport are obtained if you put the first letter of the name before the letters of the surname. Strokes in which the first letter is “C” look especially expressive. It can gracefully frame the rest of the autograph. You can use 2 capital letters at once - first and last name;
• Often a person does not want to advertise his last name. The banal reason for such an act is its cacophony. Therefore, the first letters of the first or last name are used as a facsimile and the painting continues with a set of loops or curls. Sometimes, a person may have 2 paintings. One, with the full surname for a document such as a passport, and a shortened version for other needs, for example, to show the teacher that the parent is familiar with the grades given in the child’s diary;
• The most original signatures come from people who are familiar with the basics of calligraphy. The graceful interweaving of curls when writing the first letters of the first and last name sometimes creates an incredibly sophisticated picture. Some owners of such a signature specifically make stencils, not wanting to spoil the beauty of the facsimile by hasty execution. Having ordered a beautiful stencil for painting, you don’t have to worry that someone will doubt the authenticity of the autograph;
• When creating a calligraphic signature, there is a small nuance to consider. For women, it is permissible to use curls, but the male version should have firmer lines.

Of course, how to make a painting beautiful largely depends on your handwriting. If a person is not used to writing out letters accurately and writes hastily and sloppily, any combination of elements will be unpresentable. Therefore, it is necessary to make an effort to sign documents without losing your “face”.

What can a painting with beautiful curls tell about?

It turns out that an ordinary painting can tell a lot about its owner. It has already been mentioned that the final curl directed upward is a sign of optimism, while downward it shows that a person is prone to depressive moods and is too unsure of himself. But a straight line speaks of a person with a balanced character, who is inclined to think about his actions and adhere to decisions “ golden mean».

Long painting is characteristic of people with a pedantic character, accustomed to bringing all their affairs to the end. They tend to be stubborn and rarely rely on the opinions of others. If the stroke is short enough, its owner is considered a superficial, hasty person who does not tolerate slowness, and is often fickle and inattentive.

Painting with a lot of curls and loops is most often feminine. Men prefer swift strokes with an abundance of straight lines.

Making a painting beautiful is not enough; you need to take into account that often there will not be suitable conditions for painting it accurately. For example, when receiving a pension at a bank branch in winter, it is quite difficult for a person in a warm fur coat to write out all the letters in the proper order.

Therefore, you should not clutter the facsimile with an abundance of elegant elements. At the same time, a signature that is too simple can play into the hands of fraudsters, since it is quite easy to forge.

A passport is a very important document for a person to prove his identity. But the document is valid only if it contains the signature of the owner. How to come up with a signature for a passport, original, unique, so that it cannot be forged, and at the same time simple, so that in the future you can easily repeat it when signing important documents.

The signature in the passport and other documents must match, otherwise they will not be recognized as valid. Once you sign the document upon receipt, you will no longer be able to change your signature. Therefore, you need to practice in advance and come up with a beautiful original autograph.

Almost everyone, before receiving a passport, experiences the pangs of creativity, scribbling through many sheets of paper in search of the perfect combination of letters and perfect lines. Yes, coming up with a signature for a passport is not an easy task.

What to do if the notebook is already full and does not contain all the options, the paste in the pen is about to run out, and the autograph has not yet been invented? Perhaps these tips will help you create the most important signature in your life:

1. Important advice when choosing a signature for your passport: remember that you will have to reproduce the personal signature in a version close to the original a huge number of times, so the signature should not be too difficult for you.

2. Write your last name on a piece of paper and look at it. The simplest option is an abbreviated surname with squiggles at the end, or the entire surname, if short, and also with a beautiful stroke at the end. This combination of letters for a signature in a passport is quickly remembered and is easy to remember and repeat in the future (however, this can also be a significant disadvantage).

3. If you don’t want to use your last name as a basis, there are other options for signing your passport:

• by combining the initial letters of your initials;
• one letter smoothly transitions into another;
• You can place a letter inside another, for example, this can easily be done with the letters “e”, “o”, “s”.

You can come up with a beautiful combination in some other way - get creative and select the options you like best!

4. See how your relatives sign their names, search the Internet for autographs of famous people. Borrow an idea from them, add your own original elements.

5. It is advisable to come up with an original signature for the passport that is compact and not very long, otherwise in some situations it can cause inconvenience: it often happens that there is very little space for a signature in documents.

6. An effective signature on your passport is of course important, but you shouldn’t worry about it so much that you give up everything you’re doing or don’t sleep at night because you can’t choose the signature option for the document. Believe me, when you put your signature on numerous contracts in the future, it will not matter to you whether your signature is so impressive among competitors (although this will probably be a pleasant fact).

Many would like to take the document home to beautifully sign their passport in a calm atmosphere, having practiced a couple dozen more times before doing so. However, this is the law; you must sign your passport at the time of receipt. Therefore, you need to come up with a personal signature for your passport in advance, practice at home and be ready to put your main autograph on the most important document in your life!

Before the most important moment, don’t worry, check your pen so that the ink doesn’t smudge - and confidently put your main signature in your passport, which you probably honed to perfection!

It doesn't matter if you're planning to become a famous person or just to pass the time - experimenting with your signature can be quite a fun activity. Use our tips and tricks to create a memorable signature.

Steps

Part 1

Take a look at your current signature. Think about what you like about it and what you would like to change. Take the letters that make up your name and think about how best to emphasize them: consider interesting (with curls, dots and intersections - Y, X or B) and simple letters (especially those that look the same in upper and lower case - C or O ). Look for something that can become the centerpiece of your signature.

Think about what information you want to include in your signature. A simple and uncomplicated signature is easier to read, but a more complex signature can be your highlight. The more sweeping your signature is, the more colorful you will seem. Think about how much time you spend signing. Busy doctors usually have hasty and unreadable signatures, while famous writers can spend more time on all sorts of calligraphic delights.

• Signatures that include only your initials are generally considered more formal and businesslike than signatures that include your full name.
• If it is important that the signature cannot be forged, then make it longer and more readable. Place your first and last name in it. Write clearly and legibly. It is much easier to forge unsightly signatures than to imitate all the nuances of a well-developed and clearly written autograph.

1. What parts of the name would you like to include in the signature? Some people like to write their full name, while others just use their first or last name. Still others use only initials. If you are known by name (like Beyoncé), then only your name will be enough in the caption. If you are a professor who is addressed by first name, patronymic or last name, then use the option with last name.

   Get inspiration from other people's captions. Study celebrity signatures and think maybe you should come up with something similar. Kurt Vonnegut, Walt Disney, Salvador Dali, Picasso and John Hancock (and many others) are known for their unique signatures, among other things. Don't be afraid to borrow catchy elements and incorporate them into your signature.

   Part 2

   Experiment with your signature

   1. Experiment. Take a piece of paper and put a lot of signatures on it - try different options. Relax and let your imagination run wild, try out different styles and curls. The signature should be easy to write, organically combined with your name, and easily repeated by you many times. Use comfortable writing instruments. You can work with a pencil to erase the signature and make corrections.

      Highlight some letters. You can make the letter larger so that it stands out among others, or vice versa - make it smaller. This will make your signature brighter without increasing the time spent. Try using a large first letter of your first name or the first letters of your first and last names.

      • If your signature is illegible or curly, then you can highlight one letter, making it clear and readable. Conversely, you can make one letter look sloppy or odd to make it stand out in a neat, legible signature.

   2. Emphasize with underlining. This is a classic way to add extra flair to your signature. The underline may take longer to produce, so consider its practicality.

      Use a retro font. Double the horizontal intersections and finish the twisted letters with curves and curls. Use a fountain pen whenever possible. Get inspired by calligraphy, ancient signatures and gothic fonts. This way you can decorate even the simplest signature.

      Add some flair to your signature. Sweeping is a great option to make your signature more unique. Choose letters that lend themselves to unusual curves and try to write them in an unusual way. Consider the following options:

      • Repeating elements. The three large ovals in the signature will create an echo effect and tie the rest of the design together.
      • Capital letters can surround lowercase letters. This way you can add brightness to the signature if the name does not have letters with lower tails (U, L, X and others).
      • Outline your signature with swirls. This will give her a very official, royal look.
      • Make the bottom of the letters larger. This is one of the simple and common ways to decorate a signature.

   3. Add numbers or symbols to your signature. Such symbols could include a team jersey number, a simple sketch, or graduation year. If you associate a specific number or symbol with your identity (for example, if you are an important member of a sports team), then this is a good way to stand out from your namesakes. If you want to go this route, it's best to keep the rest of your signature simple to save time. A large number of characters can overload the signature and take a long time to display all elements.

   Part 3

   Choose the best option

   Combine your favorite elements into a caption. Put together all the details you like. Determine which ones are extra and which ones go well with your personality. As you perfect your signature, make small changes until you feel like you've found the right combination.

   Determine the best option. Don't choose a signature just because it looks cool. It should be not only stylistically verified, but also practical.

   • You should be able to easily reproduce your signature. You should not have any difficulties writing it, and the process itself should take no more than a few seconds.
   • Your signature should be consistent with your personality and goals. If you want to seem special, then use an artsy signature. If you want to appear before people as an elegant and neat person, then reflect this in your signature.
   • The signature must be recognizable. It doesn't need to look like a scribble (unless it's a well-recognized scribble), but it should always be the same. Make your signature unique and as recognizable as possible.

   1. Practice your new signature until writing it is no longer difficult. Don't forget that you can always make changes to it. If you use one signature in all legal documents (licence, passport, bank card), then changing the signature may cause inconvenience. In some cases, you may be identified by your signature, and if it changes, you may arouse suspicion because the signatures on the documents will no longer match.

      Make sure you can easily repeat the new signature. The most beautiful and original signature in the world will be useless if you cannot quickly put it on the right document. When practicing your signature, do not forget about practicality: you need to be able to sign quickly, you need to decide on the accessories (what you will use to sign), and in all cases it should look the same. If you're having trouble repeating your signature, it's best to simplify your design.

   Warnings

   • Don't change your signature very often. You may have trouble verifying your identity if the new signature doesn't match your passport, license, bank records, or even your library card.
   • It's best to keep the official signature fairly simple. You'll quickly get tired of having to figure out a complex and time-consuming design every time you pay with a card at the grocery store.
   • Think twice before you come up with an illegible signature. No one argues that going beyond the boundaries is sometimes fun and funny, but think carefully about whether you need a hard-to-read signature.

Just imagine: in just a few years, you will become a popular artist, a rock star, or a champion of something. Or perhaps a famous scientist or popular politician. And now camera flashes, the intrusive attention of gossip reporters have become commonplace, and pretty fans (fans) demand an autograph. And your signature, to put it mildly, is not so great, and to be honest, it’s awkward to put such a squiggle even on a salary slip.

Or, for example, you are an incredibly cool businessman and you are just signing the contract of the century, but the signature is still so-so... You can go on for a long time, but the fact remains: a confident and swift stroke of the pen will not hurt you at all, at least for the purpose of putting him on the same payroll.
Now all that remains is to come up with a beautiful signature that will look luxurious on a multimillion-dollar contract, on the magnificent busts of enthusiastic fans, and in the diary of a growing offspring.

Before thinking through the details, you need to decide what it will be: simple or complex. Too simple – it’s like the password “12345” - everyone can easily repeat it. But too complicated one can cause a lot of inconvenience at the airport, at customs or at the bank, where a stern lady of advanced years will look at you suspiciously from under her glasses and demand that it be “like in your passport.”

So the ideal signature will not be too complicated, but with some kind of “zest” that is unique to you.

How to come up with a beautiful signature? What to take as a basis? There are a number of options.

1. Simply and without any frills, write your last name - in a legible and clear handwriting, or take only the first few letters of the last name as a basis and complete this matter with a spectacular flourish. True, this option is not very suitable for unmarried girls: over time, the surname will have to be changed, and the signature accordingly.
   
2. Initials can also be a good basis for a signature, and if you focus on the first name and patronymic, changing your last name in the future is no longer scary.
   
3. Combine both methods - add several letters of the surname to the initials of the first and middle names.
   

Having the letters “E”, “O”, “C” in your initials will come in very handy - you can use them to “circle” the rest of the letters. And the letters “T”, “G”, “P”, “B” will allow you to “cover” the signature with a horizontal line. Another useful trick is to use the ending of one letter as the beginning of another. For example, your last name is “Ivanov” and at the beginning of your signature you have the letter “I”, and after it “B”. It is easy to notice that the end of the letter "I" and the beginning of the letter "B" are the same - this is the vertical stroke "I". This means that they can be combined in an original way in the signature.

Graphologists claim that a person’s character can be judged from a signature; certain strokes of a personal monogram indicate the corresponding aspects of the personality. And if you use this knowledge the other way around, come up with a signature that “corrects” your character and introduce into it features and traits that will help you develop the necessary qualities in yourself.

So, let's decide where the signature is directed. If its general direction is upward, we are dealing with an optimist and a positive person. A horizontal signature indicates a balanced person, but its downward direction is evidence of pessimism and a tendency to despondency. So we level it and raise it.

The length of the signature speaks of perseverance, patience and perseverance, but if the signature is short, we are talking about haste, an attempt to quickly grasp the essence. So if you want to become more attentive, lengthen your signature, and to get rid of slowness, shorten it.

Which part of the signature is more detail-laden? For those who engage in mental work, this is the beginning of the signature, for those who prefer physical activity, this is its end. Decide whether you want to be a professor or a world champion and design your signature accordingly.

Another feature of the signature is the connection of the letters with each other. If all the letters are connected, we have the signature of a consistent person, with logical thinking, sometimes, perhaps, a little conservative. On the contrary, a large number of breaks indicates daydreaming, a desire to attract attention.

Rounded letters are a sign of a soft and friendly person, sharp and angular ones are about ambition, the desire to dominate, and sometimes about aggression.

A compact signature is found among people who prefer to solve specific, clearly defined tasks. Global strategic thinking usually comes with a sweeping signature. This is how the autographs of major leaders most often look - it is no coincidence that people call a sweeping and intricate signature a ministerial signature.

If the signature has symmetrical details (for example, two parallel strokes), this indicates a harmonious personality with a balanced and stable character - so get this “bell” if you think you are too hot-tempered.

Or maybe you want to learn how to finish something you started, but it doesn’t work out very well? Then learn to put a period at the end of your signature - this is what those who don’t give up halfway do.

Even if you don’t plan to sign autographs left and right, and you only need the signature for your passport, let it still be beautiful. Moreover, inventing a suitable signature is not so difficult. A couple of days of graphic experiments - and everything will work out. And then don’t forget to “rehearse” it well and bring it to automaticity, because only after that it will truly become your own.
