I wish I had a nice neat one. Actually can you change it? I might do that."
I tried to do a nice one but that skill is a hide and seek grand master. |

I'm glad others know the truly heartbreaking feeling of not being able to do a nice one.
Sometimes I'm ashamed when I'm asked to sign something. Snatch the paper and scribble my humiliation down. |

I spent ages as a teenager trying to come up with a good one. The result was the worst signature on any document I need to sign. Oh well, at least my signature spells a rude word. |

I don't believe it. I bet it's immaculate and written with a quill."

Damn you, you saucy fiend! Tis true! However I use red wax to 'seal' my signature on Smythson™ paper!  |

"Mine used to be pretty elaborate.
Then I worked jobs that needed 100 signatures a day, so it became a hasty version of my initial."
Same for me, too many forms I had to sign a day to worry about it being neat and legible of what my name is

A university lecturer showed me how to copy signatures. A little practice and its pretty hard to tell the difference |

I bloody knew it! Obviously your seal is a ring too. |

Same with mine. Used to be recognisable as my name and now its just a line with a couple of squiggles each end |

"Clear as writing out your name, illegible or something else. Do you have a distincive writing style for your signature?

Lol, I should hope not. ?? |

Same here it's now just a scribnled version of my initials for work and usually electronic these days.
I very rarely sign my full signature which is a semi legible version of my name.

It's scrawl. I got told years ago that if it was too neat and tidy it was easier to copy so its always been scrawl. It's now a shorten version though as mostly I cba. In my last job, I had a work signature as I had so much paperwork to sign, my real one was a pain to keep repeating. |

My first signature was my full name and very easy to read. Over the years my job required me to do my signature sometimes hundreds of times a day and gradually my signature became an unreadable scrawl. It's is now a fraction of the size it started out.
Yet it was only about two years ago that my bank made me redo my signature for their records saying it was nothing like the one they had on file  |

I have to take my time and concentrate a little more when doing my signature - ever since chip and pin and contactless.
It was a lot easier when you had to sign every time you used your card |

You can change it if you wish. Depends how drastic the change is though. You might need to contact banks etc to let them know. Or just change it subtly over a few years - no one will notice 
Mine has gotten progressively worse over time - but that's probably because I don't use it as much as I used to. |
