    Marko, I cheated and did mine in flickr which would have let me put the sig anywhere but there are tutorials on doing this with elements or photoshop:

    Add A Signature - Digital Photography Tutorial - Photoxels

    I have not tried it myself. You can do this as well with your own sgnature by writing your sig on white paper then scanning it and creating your 'logo' in elements that I have seen as well.

    *edit* Ok here is the tutorial for a personal signature:


    First of all you need to get a digital image of your signature. The easiest way to do this is to sign your name on a plain white piece of paper, ( Black ink ) and then to scan it.
    If you don't have a scanner, and don't know someone who will do it for you.
    Then the other thing you can do is to photograph your signature. If you do this then I would suggest signing your name with a marker pen or felt tip. Use a piece of white paper again. But for photographing, make your signature big enough so as to get a crisp clear image. Black will be good for colour again.

    Once you have your digital image of your signature.......

    Do This....

    1. Open your signature Jpg in the editor.

    2. Blow it up big on your screen. Choose the Magic Wand from the tool bar. Make sure that Contiguous is unchecked.

    3. Click on any part of the black lettering to make a selection of the whole signature.

    4. Go Edit > Define Brush from Selection.

    5. Name your Brush and click OK.

    6. Choose the Brush Tool from the tool bar. Click the small down facing arrow just to the right of the brush preset icon.

    Scroll to the bottom of the brush menu, and you will find your new signature brush there.

    You can now make your brush any colour or size you choose.
