Watermarks

Kerioak~Christine:
Before we all load too many images maybe we should share some thoughts on watermarks?

My thoughts - I want my watermark to identify me as well as make my image a little more difficult to use without  extra work for whoever thinks it would fit their use without their paying for it (after that we have no control but at least it has been paid for once)

The big sites don't always need to put their names/web addresses on their watermarks because they are so well known (usually) and readily identifiable but I think we probably do so it is our signature as well as a watermark.

For some reason (networking and easy identification mostly) I thought that most people would probably base their watermark around the default SS, but it seems this is not the case, is it something we should think about? 

Leo Blanchette:
I think it would be awesome to see people discussing watermark drafts before committing for years to come.

Watermarks should serve their function without getting in the way of image details, and help branding a bit.

I'd love to see a watermarking thread. Its one of the more fun enhancements to do.

klsbear:
This is perfect timing. Desiging a watermark is one of the next projects on my list.  I may come up with a few options and post them to see what everyone thinks is most effective.

Kerioak~Christine:
This is what I have settled with (first few don't have it exactly like this but from now on they should)

If anyone likes the idea I can make the psd file available so you can put your own details in - the colours just layers while I was testing it

This is what I decided to go with...
