Roger's head 0 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Not in the forum, but your sign/signature with a pen. Mine just is not cool, I'm trying to make it better. Consistency is a problem, it never looks the same. How's yours? Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Not cool but difficult to change now as I've been using it with the bank and stuff since I was about 12. Can you just change your signature? Would you have to go into the bank and tell them? Link to post Share on other sites
Roger's head 0 Posted May 30, 2005 Author Share Posted May 30, 2005 I'm trying. Well at least to make it more stylish. Link to post Share on other sites
oo 1 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Mine is pretty good, when I started having to sign I "designed" it. Still pretty happy with it. You can't read it of course, just like any good signature. Link to post Share on other sites
HoTRoD 2 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Mine is a complete mess. Making it very fashionable. Probably. Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Mine is a swoosh, underline and dots, perfected over time. It looks absolutely nothing like my name. Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I'm in the same boat as Me Jane. I'd like to change mine but I've been using what I have since I was about 12 too. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Mine looks like a bunch of reeds poking out of a swamp. Bank personnel say "Is that really your signature...?" One of these days we won't need signatures. We'll just show some machine our irises (and get flown to Uzbekistan on an unmarked plane to be tortured because some guy in Delhi got the software wrong.)

nzlegend 1 Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I could copy my dads signature very effectively, that came in handy on occasions ;-} My mums was way to hard though. Link to post Share on other sites

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 farsi = persian would look something like this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/persian/ Link to post Share on other sites
Roger's head 0 Posted June 23, 2005 Author Share Posted June 23, 2005 Well I've been practising and my sig just got a レベルアップ I'm glad to report. I even might post it here for you to admire Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 I was just thinking after I get married (this Wednesday ) I will have a new name - then I remembered this thread. I will have a new signature too - now I get to "design" one! Any suggestions? Should I throw a few kanji in there? Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Signature : this is one of hard things to figure up for Japanese coz we use "Hanko" for it. But I create my own one by Romanji not Kanji because kanji for my name are really hard to design for a signature. On the other hand, kanji for my inn name is easy to design. But I don't think it's cool to put the signature for my inn name on every paper lol... Should create one for my name soon. Congrats, me jane! Link to post Share on other sites

Siren 0 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Not 酒爆弾？ (I have not come across the kanji 凡歩 are you saying Sakebomb is a 'mediocre skier'? ) By the by, Gamera, do you offer discount to forum member staying at your inn? Is it in Hakuba? Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 If you change your hanko dont you have to have it re-registered at the yakuba, and at the places where you have your bank account/postal account? Thats why losing your hanko is such a pain in da @ss...I lost mine my first year in Japan and remember having to go back to all those freaking places - have things changed since then?

me jane 0 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Thanks all. Sorry for hijacking the the signatures thread! Joshnii has made me my very own thread here . Soubriquet, I answered on Joshnii's thread. I really do need to make a new signature. Any ideas for a cool one? Should I use kanji? Link to post Share on other sites
igloo 3 Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Don't use kanji, apart from some people don't understand if English machine it appears as just mashed up symbols. Link to post Share on other sites
