⚫︎Who are cute signs recommended for?
・People who want to express their individuality and worldview
Cute signs are recommended for people who want to express their individuality and unique worldview.
Incorporating a cute design into your sign will highlight your charm and make a good impression on those around you.
・People who want to emphasize their femininity in the casual scene of signing autographs
Signs are often used not only in business settings but also in everyday life, so if you want to show off your femininity in casual situations, please try making a sign with a cute design.
Signs have many uses, but surprisingly some people can only think of two or three.
If you are going to make a sign, you want to use it as much as possible.
I have written an article about the uses of signs for such people, so if you are interested, please read it.
13 uses for signs! Let's make a sign that suits your purpose!
・People who are active in public such as idols, singers, models, athletes, etc.
In a profession where you are in front of people, communication with fans is very important. Cute autographs are an effective way to express your love and appreciation for your fans, so consider creating cute autographs to capture and captivate your fans.
⚫︎10 tips and tricks for making cute signs
*Normally, signatures are created using a ballpoint pen or calligraphy pen, but in this article, a special felt-tip pen is used to create the signature to make it easier to see.
・Be aware of curves
This is the most important point when writing a sign that expresses "cute."
Just by changing the lines to curves, you can instantly create a softer atmosphere.
Kanji characters are inherently angular, so one way is to write your signature in hiragana, which has many curves.
Please compare the two images: a normal sign (quick-drawn sign, close to practical type) and a sign with curves in mind (fast-drawn sign, close to polite sign).
(Example: Hanako Yamada)
・Be conscious of lower right/upper right (emphasis on text)
Here, the line drawn by tracing the outer frame of the text (orange in the image) is called the outline.
By keeping the outline in mind and moving it up and down to the right, certain characters are emphasized,
It will give you a slightly more stylish atmosphere.
・Create a blank space at the top
Creating a blank space at the top creates room. The shaded area in the image will be the margin.
The top part has a blank space, and the bottom part has almost no gaps between the letters, making it dense. That kind of contrast is the key. This will make it look neater, and the elegant femininity will stand out more than the coolness.
This is a method often used when creating a speedy signature.
・It bounces at the end
The letters have a stop, a spring, and a spring, and you can arrange them to your heart's content.
Looking at the reference image ``Yuzu Leaf'', you can see that the end of the ``leaf'' is usually stopped, but I took it off and arranged it using a curly curve. If you compare it to when it's closed, it looks more like a signature and adds more cuteness. It can be applied to all kanji, hiragana, katakana, and English characters, and this point is often incorporated into the design of quick-hand signatures by singers, handmade artists, and women who write books.
・Insert a mark
Incorporating a mark that can become your trademark, such as a simple heart or star, will instantly make your sign full of originality. We use treble clefs and musical notes for instrumentalists and singers, and simple, easy-to-draw hearts for influencers. A single point at the end of the name is a sign of beauty. This time, the theme is "cute signs," so I'm using a feminine mark as an example, but you can create a stylish design regardless of gender by simply changing this mark to something else, such as a star or diamond. Quick-drawn signatures can be created as individualized signatures upon request.
・Add animals
This is a design that applies the above mark and uses mini illustrations of animals. The design of the sign looks more like an illustration than text. The reference image includes cat and dog designs. It's a design-oriented sign that makes it easy to tell whose signature it is at a glance. We highly recommend pairing it with English letters that are easy to write. Quick-drawn signatures can be created as individualized signatures upon request.
・Do not add intonation
It is designed to be flat with no peaks or valleys, keeping the outline in mind. The key is not to just make it flat, but to stretch it out with a supple line at the beginning and end. It creates a modern and stylish logo-like atmosphere.
By the way, signs with this design are also recommended for credit card signatures. Since the credit card signature field must be written in a horizontally long rectangular frame, a horizontally long, monotonous outline signature like this one is suitable.
If you often use credit cards, please read the following articles as they may be helpful.

・Use colored pens
The sign is usually black, but by changing it to your favorite color, you can make it more gorgeous and bring out your individuality. If you are an idol, member colors would be great, and if your signature is digital, neon colors would be great. *Quick writing signatures are not accepted.
・Write your signature inside the mark
By applying the design using marks, you can create an interesting sign by writing your name inside a heart. In addition to markings, you can also make unique signs by enlarging one letter and writing a continuation within it. Here, the sign for "Anzu" is written "nzu" inside the "A". It is highly recommended when you want to write compactly on colored paper, etc., where the width is limited.
・Not restricted by horizontal writing
When you think of a signature, you have the image of horizontal writing, but unless you have a fixed frame for writing your signature, there is no need to be restricted to horizontal writing. By writing vertically, you can differentiate yourself from others. In this case, we recommend designing with kanji, hiragana, or katakana rather than alphabets, but adding alphabets gently at the bottom will also create a nice balance at the bottom.
In introducing the points of cute signs, we have included some examples of signs, but if you would like to see more examples of various sign designs, please refer to the article below for examples of designs for signs with kanji, alphabets, and abbreviations. We have introduced 60 of them, so please use them as a reference.

⚫︎To create cute signatures, go to "Speed signature"
If you want to create a cute sign, we recommend a quick-drawn sign.
With quick-drawn signs, the signs are created by professional calligraphers who are familiar with the characteristics of handwriting, so you can create cute signs that are both unique and practical.
Quick Sign is a third-party survey of 1,278 people in their 20s to 60s, and was based on ``customer satisfaction'', ``sign creation service chosen by business owners'', and ``sign creation experience of calligraphers''. It has been ranked No. 1 in three categories.
We also deliver autographs in two business days, which is the fastest delivery time in the industry, so we recommend it if you need a signature right away.
Furthermore, by practicing using the included ``tracing sheet'' and ``stroke order video,'' you can learn the signature in about 5 to 10 minutes, so even those who are worried about whether they can learn the signature can use it with confidence.
・Tracing sheet (signature example: Anzu)
・Brush order video (signature example: Akira Uchiyama) *Brush letter delivery option applicable
In addition, we also provide "re-proofreading" for quick signatures.
We promise to proofread your work as many times as necessary until you are satisfied with the design and provide a signature that you are satisfied with.
*The attachments of ``tracing sheet'', ``stroke order video'', and ``reproofreading'' vary depending on the plan, so please check the following for details.
