This is a new feat for sorcerers from the APG. It seems to be awkwardly worded, or I'm just really tired from GenCon and it being Monday. Here's the text:
Source Advanced Player's Guide pg. 140
Your innate connection to magic lets you cast more spells with greater freedom. You gain two additional signature spells, each of which must have a minimum level of 3rd or lower.
Shouldn't that be a MAXIMUM level of 3rd or lower, or does it mean that the two chosen spells must be 3rd or higher?

So, let’s say you didn’t, for some reason, choose Fireball as one of you Signature Spells as you leveled up. Firstly, shame on you. Secondly, the lowest level you can cast Fireball at, is as a 3rd level spell. It qualifies. However, Fireball can Heighten all the way up to 10th level slots.
True Strike, Unseen Servant, Spectral Hand... those are not spells that can Heighten.
Basically, it can only be used for spells that Heighten, and start at 3rd or lower.

I’ve noticed quite a few places in the APG where it’s fairly obvious words, or even entire sentences, are missing. This is one of them. Minimum level seems to universally apply only to spells that have additional effects as you Heighten them.
I think this is the same issue that Paizo has with Stances, to be honest. They know the answer to it, but because they all know it, it slips through editing without actually going into the book.

It's not weirdly worded but it's a weird rule.
You can select 3 spells with their lowest level being 3rd or lower. It means that you can select a spell higher than level 3 if it's a spell that starts at level 3 or lower. So, you can select Fireball even if you only know it at level 4.
Thanks, guys. It seems to me it would have been easier to just say to select from level 1-3 spells. That would have even been less words.
