Cool Signature for Art?

Question

I want a cool signature to sign my artwork with. Is there any websites that shows you cool ways to write your name. I know it's a stupid question, but I can't decide.
Thanks!

Answer 1

Here's one thing they teach you in art school: do NOT sign your work in any noticeable way, unless it's on the back! It's very distracting. If you must sign the front, just do whatever is the least obvious, like printing your name in low-contrast small capital letters. Nothing takes away from a good piece of artwork more than an obvious signature... it sort of breaks the real world/art barrier and doesn't allow the viewer to get absorbed in your image.

Answer 2

I won't go so far as to call the question "stupid," but it is still the wrong approach. The signature should be, almost, invisible on the artwork. It should, at least, in no way, distract from the artwork.

Sign it with your name, or initials, or a combination of this. It will become how your artwork is know. Don't waste anytime working on how to make it look cool. If you INSIST on doing it, then, make it an exercise in creating a logo. That being the case, the logo should reflect the firm using it. If it is a person's name, (yours) then, what does it represent? Is the name legible, or must the viewer struggle to make out what it says?

In one of my design business' incarnations, I noticed that my signature took on a very simplistic form, which neatly symbolized my first initial and last name. For a while, I used it as a logo. After a time, I reaized that no one could read it, so, there was little connecting the artwork with who created it. I wanted to sell the artwork, and many more pieces, therefore, I wanted people to know who created it.

For business and tax purposes, I had to separate the identities of the artist and the business. The artist, (me) is the sole employer of the business, (Orion Graphics) solely owned by me. (the owner) Since I rarely sell an illustration, outright, I retain the copyright as the artist, but license it's use through the company.

This way, the artist and the company retain separate, but recognizable identities.

Answer 3

Personally, I use the initials of my art-site names. Gracelesslove. So it's GL. It looks like the end of the G extends down to the L and there's a wing behind the L. It's just something really simple.

Answer 4

Sign your Art!

Answer 5

the Art should be the important thing NOT the signature/

Answer 6

why not sign like picasso or dali, the simplier the better
