I think your idea is ridiculous. I'm not sure how you plan on overcoming years of muscle memory in order to provide... what? Some kind of extension of my person

I think your idea is ridiculous. I'm not sure how you plan on overcoming years of muscle memory in order to provide... what? Some kind of extension of my personal brand? I really don't care what my signature looks like. I can't even remember the last time I signed for something, and I'm not bothered about what the UPS guy thinks of my signature. Maybe I'm missing some cultural difference here, but I've never judged anyone on their signature, nor do I expect to be judged by my own. As for Graphology being a science? It isn't. I realize that saying so supports your marketing copy, but the style of someone's handwriting is purely a product of the method by which they were taught to write.

May be you are not the target audience for this site. But there are many people who hates their Signature and want to change it for better. They feel let down by their Signature. I was one of them and thus this idea started. I am not sure Graphology is science or not but to the people whom we have given handwriting analysis we have accurately identified their personalities from their handwriting sample and current signature. We have received the feedback on the same saying "we have done the great job in identifying my personality traits". This is true for even those people for whom we have given negative review of their personality. Your feedback is totally appreciated though. I also need to know why people may hate my concept.

  I've got to say, you're handling a lot of negative criticism very well. Kudos. I don't understand why anyone would feel let down by their signature - you need seriously low self-esteem to feel that your scratch on a page is something worth getting worried about. Will your audience be large enough? Are there enough of those people out there? Do you REALLY have 5000 customers? Paying customers? As for graphology, it falls in the same area of astrology and spiritualism in which the proponent can toss out any reasonably broad trait, and someone will say "thats JUST like me!" - it's basically all bullshit.

    Yeah I guess I can take negative criticism :) People like you may never understand this but not liking your Signature does not mean let down feeling. You simply dont like something and you want to change it. In case of Signatures we come into picture. We do have > 5000 customers not all paying customers but yes hundreds of customers who have paid us. We used to run a free services for the first 3 months and because of our mention in CNBC India we got thousands of visits in couple of nights. We stopped shipping free after that and started charging for the Signatures. In graphology we toss lot of specific personal traits which does not qualify in the broad spectrum. I can send you one sample analysis if you want.

      I'd love to see that, actually. My email address is the first three letters of my username, followed by @, followed by my entire username, followed by .co.uk

      I think it would be a good idea to put one sample report up on the site.
