It's hard to compute since there are times that I make a signature halfway then stop and continue the next day.. The shortest time I did was around 25 minutes (I know this because I had a Cooking Master Boy episode on my TV XD) and the longest I've ever alloted was around 3 hours, because I kept messing up with brushing.
How Long Does It Take You To Make A Signature?

For me, it can range from anywhere between 5 minutes to an hour depending on how much motivation I can get with the renders I am using. My 5 minute work is when I copy layers from previous signatures I made and stick them on a new document and add a different render that matches with the background. When I get tired of the same style then I start fresh and when I do that, it takes me a good hour to come up with something new.

Depends how i'm feeling and if im happy with it.
On average about 30 -45 mins.
On average about 30 -45 mins.
It really depends, sometimes I have a pretty clear picture in my head of what I would like to produce and the whole Sig comes together quickly (10-20 mins). Other times I'm unsure of what I want, so I just experiment as I'm making it which often takes a while (2-4 hours).
Sometimes I spend ages tweaking parts of a Sig until I'm happy with them. Other times I stop about half an hour into a Sig and realize I'm happy with it and can't think of anything I could add to it. I often take breaks while I'm making Sigs as well, which can mean that I spend a whole night on a Sig.

I am going to guess because before mitsuki leaves I am going to ask her to help me make one. My guess as a beginner is mabey 3-4 hours. I know thats long but when I make one that would be my first one.

Right well let's take my current signature for example, I find the pictures (That can take around 10-15 minutes to find the ones I like) but once I have all the pictures, I then go into Photoshop and it then takes me about 5 minutes to blend them together to make it all shiny and stuff

as I've gotten better it takes longer and longer
it started at 15 min. but now its built up to a hour to a hour and a half, with about 40 min of nothing but work

Meh around 20 mins the most unless if I want to do a siggy that I'm extremely happy with then it would go up to an hour. XP
hmm i would usually say about 20-30 mins, quicker when things go well. If its something i really wanna make look good il spend much longer, my current sig took me about an hour roughly.
It generally doesn't take me a long time to finish a signature. I can sometimes finish one in 20 mins, and sometimes it takes an hour. (not counting the time it takes to get a render and c4ds of course.) I like to take my time on signatures to make them as best as I can. I haven't got quite into the groove of signature making yet, which is why it probably takes so long. I also like to test out different filters and effects to see if they help.
I usually take anywhere between 15 minutes to a few hours when im trying new texts and brushes out etc.
But seeing as im fairly new to GFX/Sig making I tend to take a fair amount of time so as to not make stupid errors and make it look rubbish.

I spent 3 hours on a signature today 
im really pleased with how it came out though. Its completely different from anything ive ever done on a tag before. Thats probadly the longest ive worked on one in my life ^^

Since my signatures are usually quotes from other people, I just have to wait until someone says something funny
But otherwise, over half an hour until I trash it. I'm not good at making sigs. But when I somehow succeed, about half an hour ^3^
