New Signature Design
10/12/2009I never really spent much time or gave much thought to my signature, and over the past two – three months, have been throwing various ideas back and forth on a new signature.
What I wanted from it was quite obviously my ability to be able to reproduce it legibly and have some flourishes to make it harder to be be forged.
This is what I’ve been able to come up with so far,
I tend to normally write my ‘d’ in the traditional fashion, whilst starting from its “belly”, and then working my way up; however, I found the method above not only flows nicely into the flourished tail of the ‘a’ but is also easier to actually write. It looks a bit like an abused ‘partial derivative’ symbol hehe!
Last evening, I went through most of the MBs in my pen box and the one nib to offer the natural line variance you can see above, was quite surprisingly from the Shaw. While I was testing my ideas in a moleskine, the Fitzgerald put down a really thick line, with almost no variance – at least on this paper. Something with ridges, like the Verge de France, G. Lalo paper should bring out its characteristics and I plan to perform a few more tests today.
