Your summit photo didn't have you holding a sign showing the peak name and elevation as "proof".
I don't particularly like signs either, but my wife and a few relatives want me to use them so they know where I am at when they look at a pic. When available I have used them for their benefit, though I don't carry any with me. Things aren't always what they seem.

The only things missing are some stale classic rock quotes to really identify you as the main character of the collective Colorado alpine adventure - maybe try John Denver? This Fleetwood Mac person seems to be getting popular.
