Does anybody recognize this Chinese watermark?

(1/1)

MarcvsTvllivs:
I keep seeing images of mine around the web, mostly on Chinese websites, with the watermark that is on all images on at this address: https://kknews.cc/history/8bj62jn.html

I can't read Chinese, so I am not sure what the two characters before the "IC" mean. Googling didn't help. Does anybody know what the source of that watermark is? The background is that I would like to find out whether this is actual theft or a Chinese partner agency of one of my agencies that does not report their sales...

dpimborough:
The website is listed as kknews.cc


Paste the http address in to Google Chrome and get it translated it looks like one of the usual click bait sites with loads of ads and useless articles

The specific article is titled

Travel Atlas: When you see this characteristic building, you guess where it is

As to the water mark can't help with that

It's the logo for Imagine China a major photo agency which handles images for a host of other agencies. Google it and you will get a list of some of them (though I didn't see any micro sites listed). Hope that helps.

Awesome, thank you! Alamy is the likely one.
