I love the instructions at the bottom:

  One last thing: consider where you'll use it. Legal documents and contracts need a signature that's at least partially legible — someone should be able to connect it to your printed name. For everything else, go as abstract as you want.
The guy who was Secretary of the Treasury after Geithner and before Mnuchin, Jack Lew, eventually must have taken that advice [0].

Because until he changed it, he had a spectacularly hilarious signature, much derided at the time, especially for the fact that it would have made its way onto US currency [1].

I'm still kind of sad he changed it though, would have loved to have a twenty with that signature on it in my office.
