Gnomon - time to move on

That doesn't look any sort of a kerfuffle, never mind a fluffy one.

smiley - ok

Mine is too complicated.
smiley - fullmoonsmiley - peacedovesmiley - mammoth
And it's confusing if you know or read the smiley names
and don't just take the images ar face value, IE: a canine,
a bird and an elephant, the three spirit animals I believe
I have been in various incarnations.

Gnomon's is ideal!
Not just because of the auditory pun of 'Gnomon is an island'
but because of the visual pun of the palm tree as the gnomon
on the sundial that is a sandy desert island.
smiley - island

Edwardo the monkey won't even acknowledge his:
smiley - nalfsmiley - nahnahsmiley - flan

smiley - magic

TRiG (Ireland) A dog, so bade in office

I try to vary my signature. The standard one is the simple smiley - smiley or (more often these days), smiley - surfer. I like smiley - surfer, and think it's underused. I sometimes use smiley - lighthouse when I've been explaining something complicated or clarifying something on which I've earlier been misunderstood (or simply when I feel like it). I often use smiley - geek when I'm saying something geeky. And of course there are a plethora of celebratory smileys I use when the occasion warrants. I often pile them up.

If I'm (a) in a hurry, or (b) talking about something very serious, I may not use a smiley at all.

It's fun having new ones to work with, and I'm trying to add them to my repertoire.

h2g2 Operations

Well, this account uses smiley - cogs partly because the smiley was launched and the account was opened on the same day, but mainly because it's the perfect smiley for the account which is all about keeping things running smoothly. I don't have one when I am logged in as me though.

Ben / Mrs Zen

I put in my name (with a link to my space so people can find out more about me) at the top of my posts. After I've posted something, I come back every few minutes to update how long ago I posted it.

I've used smiley - cat since Jan 2007. If I'm being mega formal in a post I use BMT and no smiley but thats rare these days. Its not normally a good sign if I use BMT, usually means I'm, well, lets just say, not pleased. smiley - whistle
In days gone by when a Scout and doing Scout things I'd sign off BMT Scout but in general always use smiley - cat

smiley - cat

But surely there aren't enough smilies for everyone to have a unique signature?
So it might be misleading to rely on that alone. Although it might help when people start changing names/using anagrams!

clzoomer- a bit woobly

I would use smiley - rocket for what my name implies, but the name really refers to my (lack of) use of a lense zoom. So I'll patiently wait for a smiley.

That's very clever! I'm too lazy to type all that on a regular basis, though.
