When I was engaged, I practiced signing my new name lots of times – and lots of ways. Loopy A, the bottom stroke of the R underlining the rest of the word Rice. You guys wouldn’t understand.
My oldest (25) only uses cursive for his signature. My youngest (22) still prints his name for his signature. Hasn’t had trouble at the bank or college yet, and it is distinctive enough to recognize it as his work.
I’ve always regarded my signature as being the one thing about me that has a little pizzazz. I still have the Social Security card issued to me at the age of 14 (over 40 years ago) and my signature on that is a more primitive and less coordinated version of what I now consider to be my trademark signature.
On the subject of quality signatures, here’s a good article from last year, from the New York Times:
My computer allows me to keep a digital copy of my signature, which I can paste into pdf documents. The document becomes a legal document, which is why a good password is critical for my computer.

A well-chosen password looks like fourteen black dots.
