I want to get a stamp made for when I do layouts that will copyright my work. But I want to make sure that I have all the angles covered. Is anyone willing to share what they put on their work when they give it to a customer so that it is copyrighted for ownership?

The Book "Graphic Artists Guild Handbook : Pricing & Ethical Guidelines" (Graphic Artists Guild Handbook of Pricing and Ethical Guidelines, 10th Edition)
by Graphics Artists or go to:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0932102115/qid=1046455327/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-2658098-5991917?v=glance&s=books

Explains Copyright, Trademark and the legal issues involved with it, as well as design guidelines and proposals. Don't be fooled into thinking just a statement on yor drawing will cover it. It should be explained before hand to your client with a practical proposal that the concept and designs belong to the designer. Most here get paid very little or nothing at all for design, the steps taken in this book is for those who take design and the it's value seriously, I'm of the thought that if the designer takes it seriously, the client will as well.
Hope this helps
Rick

Inga get paid for your layouts and designs first. A stamp is useless in my honest opinion.
