    I would say 2 or 5. Preferably 2.

    2, 3, and 6 are the only ones crisp and clear enough to really stand out as a stamp or mark signature. 5 I think would get lost and 4 is just messy.

    If you want something personal and yours, stick with 2. The letter S feels like a signature. Whereas 3 and 6 can be sort of hidden and incorporated to some images, or layered on top like a sticker.

    I think I like 6 better than 3. So I guess it's a question of is this ego and advertising you want (go with 2) or is this just a subtle barely noticeable little way of identifying a work as your own (go with 6).

    Considering 6 reminds me of Wimpy (of Popeye fame), I vote for the self-deprecating one.

    Either 1 or 2. Hmm, probably two. One has too much text for my likes.

    I voted 5 for exactly this reason (well, that and it looks good). You want a mark that is unobtrusive, that people can only see if they're looking for it.

    3 has my vote.

    It is a clear crisp distinguishable image as opposed to 1 and 2, but has the benefit of resembling a tiki mask.

    Ahh... okay. If you're just going to leave it in the same color scheme and use opacity to blend it in, then my reasoning is all wrong. And for this purpose, I like 3 best. But as a black and white sticker sitting on top, I still like 6.

    Make 2 a bit smaller and it will be fine.

    I agree with Cathal. 2 is great but a little too big and obvious. I'm also kind of fond of 1. Both are easily recognizable as yours and add a bit of a personal touch. I'd say 2, if you could make it a bit smaller.

    6 is pretty sweet in a funky design kind of way...

    2 is more profesional I suppose

    I'm not a fan of 5 because as a watermark you can't see the details so its kinda pointelss to use.

    and 4 just seems needlessly hard to see.

    I'd go with 2 and break out the 6 for special occasions.

    6 is amusing, but it is also more than a little goofy, so I wouldn't go with that.

    5 just didn't seem right for you for some reason. Didn't scream Jon.

    I'd have to say to go with a more opaque version of 2. It would be a bit larger (and therefore more noticeable) than 4, which I also liked, but it won't distract from the sig like most of the others did.
