his signature was just a circle, and he is no more now.

Well I'm thinking of Giotto's famous circle but it was not a signature.
According to a Vasari's biography[1], Pope Benedict XI sent an emissary to obtain a sample of the artist's work in order to evaluate his skill. Giotto smiled and took a sheet of paper, dipped his brush in red paint, closed his arm to his side, and with one twist of his wrist drew a perfect circle freehand. Giotto handed this drawing to the messenger, who, thinking he was being trifled with, asked: "Am I to have not other drawing than this?". Giotto answered, "It's more than enough. Send it along and you'll see whether it's understood."

While I did not know it was his signature, Giotto di Bondone drew, freehand with one stroke, a perfect circle to demonstrate his talent to the pope.
