Pen logos for providing a makers branding

[Bob39]

I've been making pens a few years now and some customers have suggested I should logo my pens, I'm wondering if anyone has experience of this that would be suitable for wood and other materials. Thinking about this the requirements would be;
A reproducible logo
A permanent method
A small size to fit on a curved surface
A distinctive mark that communicates the makers identity and branding
A mark that does not spoil the look of the pen
A mark that is suitable for a variety of pen making materials such as wood, acrylic, casein, horn, etc

I am aware that most logos on commercial pens consist of a stamped name, letter, distinctive clip and in the case of luxury makes, something special such as the white colouring on Mont Blanc pens.

I've seen some that are probably resin printed and applied as a finial on the cap as well. Also, laser printed pieces used as finials.

Finials is probably the easiest way. I have seen a person use small metal tags that he includes under the finish of a pen. There is alot more to getting a logo to be your own I am sure. You have to be able to protect the rights. Good luck. I will never become that big that I need to sign my work.

Some folks use laser engraved clips. Most notably Braxton Frankenbery (https://didtcs.com/)
