My signature, weirdly, looks exactly the same way it has since about the ninth grade. Though actually, now that I think of it, both my parents still have legible signatures. Maybe there's some genetic MY NAME I LIKE IT, LET ME SHOW YOU IT thing being passed on?
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
a semi-stylized way I made up many years ago
Rachel Sylvester made mine up in fifth form. And considering how I draw my name more than write it--the cross stroke of the t transmutes into the entire body of the a which then loops up back over to the i to kinda dot it...thanks, Rachel! I love my signature! 25+ years and still going strong!
Uh, I don't always sign a last name, clearly.

Because books.
My signature is very round and loopy and looks like a 13-year-old's. But it's what I've got. Took me FOREVER to learn how to sign Garvey nicely, though. And I use a print G instead of a script one.

I sign my first two initials, the first letter of my last name, and a squiggle. Works for me!
Cake for lunch is probably not good for one's blood sugar or state of mind. I'll have protein & salad for dinner, i think...

*If* I got married *and* I changed my surname (and also, should the apocalypse come...all equally likely...) I intend to just cut down to only signing ita. Exactly the same way Rachel designed it.

I don't know, Consuela. Cake is always good for my state of mind.
Sometimes I wish I hadn't changed my last name, but then I think about how confusing it could get for the kids, and honestly I can't be too stressed about it. Anyway, twenty-something years later, it is what it is.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
My signature has my whole first name, and then T and complete scribbles.
My mom eventually changed to a print "t" instead of a script "t" because everyone thought her last name was Gaylor. After 20 years, it still looks forced, as does her middle initial, which she added after she had a welfare client of the same name try to take out a mortgage in her identity.

Pete occasionally gets mock-cross about how illegible my signature is. "Venters is a fine name! It should be written clearly!"
Which is to say, you can make out a V, E, and N, and sometimes even a T. Otherwise, it's swoopy lines.

I have also modified my signature so that I can write out my surname without lifting pen from paper--that was an important exercise in high school--full signature, legible, only lifting the pen off the paper twice. I'm not going through that shit again for some new surname. He can have mine.
