・What is a creative sign?
A creative sign is a sign that is unique to you, created using beautiful fonts and unique designs.
Not only does it express one's image and commitment to show one's identity, but it is also used in business settings such as product packaging and brand logos.
・What kind of people are creative signs recommended for?
〈People with bad handwriting〉
Many people have a complex about bad handwriting, but it is not easy to change the handwriting that you have learned up until now.
Therefore, if you want to be able to draw just your own name in a cool and beautiful way, we recommend creating a sign.
If you want to be able to write beautiful handwriting, please refer to the following articles.
Here are five points that I think are important from a calligrapher's perspective.
〈People whose name has many strokes〉
For people who feel bothered by the number of strokes in their name, a sign with fewer strokes that is a simplified version of the original name is suitable.
For example, a name that takes 40 strokes when written in block font can be simplified to just 4 strokes when turned into a signature.
〈People who have many opportunities to sign autographs〉
People who have to sign documents many times a day for work or other reasons may find signing autographs a chore.
The appeal of creative signatures is that you can write signatures much faster than writing in block font.
A name that would take about 15 seconds to write in block font can be written in just 2 seconds with a simplified creative signature.
〈People who want to draw cool and smart signs〉
Many people who want creative autographs have a desire to be able to quickly draw stylish and cool autographs.
Creative signs created by professionals are not only quick to draw, but also create unique, well-balanced, and cool designs.
〈People who frequently use credit cards〉
Recommended for those who often use credit cards.
Some people may choose to use a PIN when making credit card payments, but creative signs are superior in terms of payment time, security, and coolness.
The following article introduces the usefulness and points to note when using a signature with a credit card.

・Signs have a wide variety of uses.
When you hear the use of signs, you probably think of things like receiving luggage or making credit card payments.
However, signs have a wide range of uses and are used everywhere.
In business situations, it can be used for email signatures, business cards, signing contracts and approval documents, and logos for shops and brands.
In my private life, I enjoy hotel check-ins, golf, SNS icons, embroidery on suits, name pens, etc.
The following article introduces how to create a sign suitable for each purpose, so if you are interested, please read it!

・How to make creative signs
There are two ways to create a creative sign: ``make it yourself'' or ``entrust it to a professional.''
<Make it yourself>
Of course, hiring a professional will cost money, so I think it's a good idea to try making it yourself first.
If you want to make your own sign, we recommend following the steps below.
- Decide which parts of the name should be emphasized and which parts should be simplified, and create a prototype sign keeping in mind the overall balance.
- While actually using the signature you created, find areas that are difficult to write on or areas that you would like to make corrections to.
- Correct the parts that are difficult to write
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 to get closer to a refined signature.
The most difficult step is step 1: creating a prototype.
In the article below, we will introduce in detail the design tips and writing tips for step 1, so if you are interested in creating a sign, please read it.

<Ask a professional>
Another way to make a sign is to hire a professional.
I think it would be best if you could make a good-looking sign without spending a lot of money, but I think it would be difficult for someone who has no knowledge of letter design to create a sign.
Of course, if you want to make a sign that you are satisfied with, you can read the article I introduced earlier and you will be able to make a good enough sign, but if you want a cool sign that you won't be embarrassed to see, The best way to do this is to hire a professional.
If you want to have your signature created by a professional calligrapher or if you want a sophisticated and cool signature that is unique to you, please contact ``Kokusho Sign''.

・Differences from other sign creation services
The strengths of Speed Signs that are not found in other sign creation services include ``signs created by professional calligraphers'' and ``5 typefaces that only calligraphers can create.''
- A professional calligrapher creates a signature
With other sign creation services, a designer is in charge of creating the signs, but with Kosoku Sign, I, Nozomi Sobue, who is a calligrapher, is in charge of creating all the signs.
We create the highest quality signs using our highly skilled techniques and experience as a calligrapher, as well as our knowledge of approximately 50,000 characters.
- Five typefaces that can be used depending on the purpose
Based on our belief that signatures should be appropriate depending on the purpose, we have developed five typefaces: practical, unique, quick-writing, stylish, and polite.
We believe that only calligraphers, who are experts in calligraphy, can correctly understand the characteristics of letters and create signs tailored to their respective uses.
In addition, we provide "tracing sheets" and "stroke order videos" that are essential for learning signatures efficiently.
By using these, you can learn to sign in about 5 to 10 minutes, so even those who are worried about whether they will be able to write their signatures can use it with confidence.
