cue makers logo's/names

I like a signature. It's personal & shows the cue is a part of the builder. It needs to be classy & fine, though. And it needs to be recognizable even if unreadable. I put mine in the butt sleeve or lower handle area, usually so it blends in with the natural lines of the cue when possible. For me, signing the cue is my way of telling everybody that sees it that I built that cue alone, and that I feel it is good enough to sign my name to. In the military it was stressed on me to only sign my name to things i'm absolutely sure of. Cues are one of those things.

I like logos & stamps & engravings, too. Just don't make them or signatures overpowering to the point it takes away from the cue. I guess my opinion isn't as strong as others. I just like classy & clean & unique to the builder, regardless of whether it's a signature or logo.A sharpie should NEVER be used to sign a cue. If you're gonna sign a cue, use an ultra fine tip pen with ink that won't bleed. And sign it comfortably so it's repeatable & not sloppy looking. Practice with this goes a long way.

And thanks to all who like my signature :)

Jim Ingram, from Okla.City, stamps his last name very small and tasteful. Unique IMO. I also think it would not be lost in a refinish.
 
My current favorite is Black Boar silver inlaid double B B logo in the buttcap.

Simple. Elegant. Unmistakable.
 
coker cues.....

one of the worst..and worst of all its not even a sig, its all in print. and tom varies the location of the signature all the time. If it were a nice looking sig than I wouldnt mind where...but if I were to get a cue from him that had a sig like that then I would request it to be signed beneath the wrap..if no wrap then under the bumper...just what Id prefer
