    Default Make a digital signature.

    Hi,
    We all know you shouldn't really sign your letters if you can help it. Sometimes though they will need some sort of signature before they enter into correspondence. There is nothing wrong or unlawful and in fact is recognised as being lawful Clicky
    I now only sign what I absolutely have to with pen.
    Here's what a digital signatureicon looks like:


    You would have to resize it or reduce it in your doucument.
    Here is what it looks like in a finished document:


    It looks a lot better once printed.
    And here is a link to the website to create you own:
    Signature Creator

    Nice touch i found the same site the other week and have tryed the signeture out a few times since, although as you say it can't be used on legal documentation, ie house deeds or similar, also the CAGicon stickers are good to have, got mine from this site two weeks back and have used them on my letters to the bank to re-claim charges, rest gone in draw for any furture need.

    Good one, I'll give it a try.

    What I have done up to now is sign on a white piece of paper, scan it to my HD, resize, and add it to my letterhead template. Also done it for daughter and friends whose claims I am handling (but only ever do it for someone you REALLY trust! My daughter and friends do, obviously. ), so I don't have to ask them for a signatureicon every time I need to send off another letter.

    Apologies to people who I was in the process of helping, I may be gone some time.

    Hi people,

    Good idea using a digital signiture. I`m off to try it now.

    I like the sample letter, I`ve just realised what the post code on the DCAicon address reads like, heh heh. Has anyone else noticed?

    Catch you all later.

    A couple of tips.
    Size: I would use 36 and above.
    Pen Width: I use thick as it reduces better.
    Once created right click and save. You may need to crop the image.

    Another good site which uses a guide through wizard to help you is My Live signature
    I recommend this one if you are a novice.

    I have a font called 'Disgusting Behaviour' - it could have been made for writing to DCAs...

    Another tip for deterring scan, cut and paste artistes is to make a shaded box to sign in; hard to scan clearly, and will be obvious if pasted into a document, especially if the signatureicon goes over the edges of the box.

    Yes you can do it with fonts, I use a signatureicon creator as it gives a "genuine" feel.
    Liberate is not a native font and has to be installed manually usually.
    Here goes:
    Download your font. Liberate can be found HERE or any font you find. This WEBSITE is good for handwritten fonts.

    Once downloaded remember where you saved it.
    Go to Control Panel.
    Go to Fonts.
    You will see a window with loads of fonts in. Go to File at the top.
    Add New Font.
    Should now work with word.

    It would be nice to see your digital signatureicon on some cobbled together agreement from some of the pondlife. Love to hear them explain that to the judge

    Brilliant, Nitrous! I now have a new dig. signatureicon that looks suspiciously close, yet totally different, if that makes sense!

    Not signing removes the possibility that someone without a signed agreement may be tempted to get creative with Photoshop.

    how a about a "friend of CAGicon" logo that members could use?
    i would be honoured to use it
    ... shows you can't be bullied
    ... plus free advertising for the CAG.
    you could even have a comp for the best design.
