Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, so if it isn't mods please move...but which program have most people used to design a logo and/or watermark?

    For the logo design I use Inkscape (free vector graphics program). For the watermark GIMP or any other photoshop will work.

    Use whatever you know how to use.

    I would suggest using a vector program (illustrator or something free). This will reduce your chances of any resolution problems as it will remain scalable to use at any size. Above all, keep it simple. Your logo should serve a purpose not be the focus.

    That's what I had done as well since I already had Illustrator for Design work.
    Several years ago, I had an Illustrator logo/icon and learned how to create a Photoshop action to import it into images after I found this video tutorial: http://av.adobe.com/russellbrown/BrandingSM.mov
    I included it in my batch processing workflow back then and could just do something else while all hundreds of my photos were getting watermarked (and resizing, etc.). I have an Illustrator wordmark now, but still use the above method with the batch actions. I love how the action is done with just a click.
