Signatures play a pivotal role in our lives. Signing your name on to a covenant not only binds you to adhere to it but also symbolizes your acknowledgment. Apart from a signature's legal significance, there is a quirky branch of science dedicated to finding out the deeper implications of signatures. Signatures tend to reflect some traits of the person who signs it. Some of the most legendary people in the world have some of the most distinctive signatures.

Let’s check out few of the most iconic signatures of all times:

1. Pablo Picasso:

This artistic signature reflects the creativity of a man whose first word was 'pencil.' Pablo Picasso was formally schooled in arts since the age of 7 by his father, Ruiz Blasco. By the age of 13, Pablo Picasso had surpassed his father, which made Ruiz give up painting. Despite being a great artist, he was a terrible student. He was frequently thrown into detention because of his royal ignorance towards instructions given by teachers.

2. Walt Disney:

Walt Disney's signature is as quirky and eye-catching as his work. His first iconic cartoon character was Oswald, the lucky rabbit, which he created under contract with Universal Pictures. Since the studio owned Oswald, the lucky rabbit's rights, Walt Disney created the beloved Mickey Mouse after leaving Universal Pictures.

3. Buzz Aldrin:

This beautifully embellished signature of Edwin Eugene Aldrin Jr. reflects his view of outer space. His iconic nickname "Buzz" came from his sister Fay Ann. While growing up, she would often call him "buzzer," which was her way of pronouncing "brother." His relatives shortened it further down to "Buzz," and by the 1980s, Edwin Aldrin had officially become Buzz Aldrin.

4. Bruce Lee:

The strokes in his signature reflect his precision and agility for which he is known for. A fact that might be little known about Bruce Lee is that he was partly German. His grandfather was a purebred German catholic, making it really difficult for him to secure his place in some of the top Kung Fu schools.

5. Albert Einstein:

Albert Einstein’s signature focused more on his last name, which is interesting because he renounced his German citizenship. After the first president of the State of Israel, Chaim Weizmann died in 1952, the Prime Minister asked Einstein to step into the role. He turned it down as he felt he lacked experience to deal with people.

6. Michelangelo:

The artistic signature of Michelangelo looks more like a fine piece of calligraphy. Even when he was 74 years old, the Catholic Church summoned him to assist them in completion of St. Peter’s Basilica. He worked for 14 years, supervising the construction and sending designs to the foreman.

7. William Shakespeare:

This highly articulated signature perfectly encapsulates one of the most influential writers in human history. William Shakespeare is the second most quoted writer having written one tenth of the most quoted lines ever spoken or written in English.

8. Rabindranath Tagore:

This enigmatic signature belongs to an equally enigmatic mind. Rabindranath Tagore was one of the most brilliant minds of India with some of the most prominent achievements. He was knighted by King George V for his work in literature which he renounced after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in 1919.

9. Elon Musk:

This time-efficient signature belongs a genius, billionaire, and philanthropist. Elon Musk developed a game called “Blastar” at the age of 12 and sold it $500. He even purchased the submarine car which was featured in the James Bond movie “The Spy Who Loved Me”.

10. Kobe Bryant:

This legendary American basketball player grew up in Italy and had fans all over the world. His parents were particularly fond of a Japanese delicacy called “Kobe Beef,” so much so that they named their son after it.

11. Queen Elizabeth II:

This royal signature belongs to the monarch of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms. Queen Elizabeth II was the first female member of the royal family to join the armed forces. She joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service during the Second World War.

12. J.K. Rowling:

This signature belongs to the famous author J.K. Rowling. She was the first person to become a billionaire solely by writing books.

13. Amelia Earhart:

This signature belongs to the first female pilot in the world. Her birthday, 24th July, is celebrated as Amelia Earhart day to commemorate her adventurous and intrepid spirit.

14. Oprah Winfrey:

This articulate signature belongs to one of the most influential women in the world. As a child, Oprah used to recite Bible verses during her visits to the church. As a result, she has been nicknamed ‘the preacher.’
