    You can read the first letter.. the rest is squiggly!

    Depends on if I care if anyone can read it. Most of the time, my signature is just a scribble. My hand has gotten as lazy as the rest of me over the years.

    Usually it's just the first letters of my first and last name that is legible...the rest....sort of like a Richter scale read out.

    You'd need an Egyptologist to decipher mine.

    Mine looks like a chicken has stepped in a bottle of ink and walked across the page.

    I was signing the slip after using my credit card once and the person in the store stood looking at the signature for about 5 minutes and said "well there is no fear of anyone ever forging that signature"

    My signature is very legible. Handwriting has suffered from all that note taking back in college, so if its a short note-I'm good, long note, not so good.

    My maiden name was a rather simple name and that signature was always legible. My married name as a Z in it and I get rather happy when writting that z and it makes for a rather sloppy signature.

    My signature is neat. I don't know how people can write their names to be unlegible. I always wonder if they have to practice to write like that.

    My writing is legible..just. It's why i learnt to type. Can type far, far faster and more accurately than writing!

    And McKay...is that 2 hairy balls in your handwritten sig?!

    You can read my Julie quite well but the rest is slop. I always got in trouble in school for the way I made my Js though.

    My maiden last name was (is) soo long, 11 letters, too long to write so I just scribbled it, with my married last name its nice and neat, its way shorter.

    Signatures and Handwriting are two different things.

    I absolutely practiced my signature to make it look awesome, and it's sloppy with just enough legible letters to correspond to my name. My handwriting is pretty neat, but still has character. It has a tall x height and short ascenders and descenders, generally. Sometimes when I have to write small, it's the opposite and has a short x height and long ascenders and descenders. They're both pretty regular and geometric.

    Mine is horrible and since I don`t move my arm across a page as much as I use my elbow like the point of a compass the slant of the letters moves in an arc.
    I mix printed letters with cursive as well.

    My handwriting is very unusual. My signature is illegible--like a symbol--like "the artist formerly known as Prince."

    My signature is as legible as my hand writing.
    I'm seriously an emotional writer. If I'm relaxed, its all neat and sort of bubbly. If I'm angry its all pointy and jagged. If I'm tired its everything all together. Even the slant changes, and that's supposed to be one of the things that stays the same. If I'm trying to write neatly, its forward slant, small, narrow letters. And most of my capital letters are printing, as well as any lower case x's or z's. If you read any of my essays in high school, you would be able to tell just from the handwriting how I felt about the subject. :-)
