Which logo/watermark

[Maddog12]

I have been messing around and creating a new logo/watermark for my photography business. My first and last initials are "m" and "o". You can see the "m" and the "o" wraps around the "m". When I initial stuff (at work or whatever) I also initial like this. I got the idea a long time ago from the "@" symbol.

Which one do you like better?

Watermarks have to aims AFAIK:
1) To make an image ugly to try to prevent people stealing the images.
2) As advertising, to direct people to your website.

Your watermark succeeds at #1, making it ugly, but doesn't do #2, directing people to your website. I wouldn't say it's elegant either.

When I first read that, I thought you were making a dig at Tim (regarding point #1)!
