Tom Hanks weird signature

I know he has signed differently over the years and also signs differently when he is in a hurry but I can't find any exemplars consistent with this one. It is an original "Bachelor Party" poster in pretty rough shape. I was thinking it could possibly be a short version of his earlier signature but it still looks off to me. It has a COA from GAI signed by Justin Priddy. I have no provenance info. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

It does not look like one I got in person 27 years ago.

Thanks Mark. I have seen a few variations of his auto that do not look very similar so I thought it could possibly be one I have not seen. It seems strange to forge a signature in a style that Hanks has never signed in when there are versions of his signature that can be forged pretty easily. I guess it could be a similar variation to the one attached to this reply, or a bad copy of that variation. If no one else has any thoughts on it then I will pass.

This is the one Tom Hanks signed for me in 1992.

Mark's look good--early and full--but neither of the ones you posted looked close to me. 

This is a typical Tom Hanks from about 2006, certed by PSA/DNA:
