Hello All,
I am really interested in copy righting my work but I am not really sure how. I am confused to what or how I should go about copyrighting my images. I have investigated the copyright website but still confused to the process of WHAT SHOULD BE COPY WRITTEN.
To those of you who have copy written your work, should I copyright my signature or each image singularly?
Are there ways around this as an artist?
Thank you,

One way is to print out and sign with your signature on it whatever it is you want to copyright and then put in an envelope and mail it through the Postal system to yourself. Or put them all on a cd and sign the cd and send it to yourself as with a printed version.
Then when it arrives back, do not open it, but it should have a cancellation date over the stamp(s). That's proof of date and time of authorship by a Federal institution.
Anything produced by others after or around and about that date would be very likely considered as a copyright infringement.

Well,
I did an electronic copyright online, for my personal logo it was pretty easy!
Question is, if I put my copyrighted logo on a graphic I create, does that serve as a legal binding for a would be those that may duplicate my work without my consent?
For all those who are interested,
I found out the information that I needed for the copyright process. It was actually fairly easy. On the Copy Right website you can do whats called an ECO, for Visual Art the fee is $35, you can enter several pieces of your art under one project name, for example:
If you have 7 designs you can copy right them as YOURNAMESDESIGN Project 1. This will copyright all the submitted designs under the same copyright number. (In the USA)
What's to stop people from removig your logo?
