Best way to create a logo to use as a Watermark for my photos?

I've kind of come up with an idea that I want to just take the basic design (Edges if you will) of my X-T10 & X100T and add a red shutter button to them (since that's what I use on my cameras) and then be able to put my name in front of that so that I can begin watermarking all my photos that I share and at the same time be able to tell which camera I used just by looking at the watermark...what's the easiest and cheapest way to accomplish this you think? Thanks in advance for your help!

I see what you're saying and it sounds cool. Off the bat I'll say photoshop.
However, watermarking the border of your images especially with colour might draw the eyes to it instead of the photo itself and "take away from the photo" if you get what I mean. I think it would be easier if you just have a clean border and simply x100s or x... or even just the suffixes alone to identify which was used. You wouldn't even have to read them as your brain is programmed to recognized them at a glance. Sort of like "reading" in our first language. We don't have to forcefully "read" every word, we simply glance at them and know which word is written. Make sense?

The retouching forum may be a better bet - or just Google your own words "create a logo to use as a Watermark for my photos". I did - loads of info.

I think a watermark is a mistake. That is all you see when an image has one large enough to be effective. No one even tries to see the image behind the watermark. If it is a small edge watermark people will just remove it. Just make sure the image is small enough that it cannot be successfully printed in a size large enough to sell. I would not worry about people picking up a small image to share or put on their website. That size is worthless in any marketplace anyway.

I have Lightroom 5, Photoshop Elements 12, Perfect Photo Suite 9.5 and the SilkyPix RFC that Fuji supplies. They all let you create or add watermarks to your images.
