If you want to memorize those signatures easily:

Sharps appearance in order:

[NONE,F#,C#,G#,D#,A#,E#,B#]

Names of the key signature in order (match them to the order of ths sharp appearance):

[C,G,D,A,E,B,F#,B#]

*This is called cycle of fifth (the distance between each two successive notes is a fifth)*


Flats apearance in order:

[NONE,B,E,A,D,G,C,F]

Name of Key signature in order:

[C,F,Bb,Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Cb]

*This is the cycle of fourth*
