Perhaps a tiny cross stitched heart with your initials backstitched onto it? Then for contest pieces replace the heart with the logo and stitch your initials into the heart of the logo?
Thank you! I'm going to try this for sure!

Therein lies the challenge, to make it small and unobtrusive yet personal and recognisable as you.
ps. have you tried using some multicoloured thread? or perhaps some small flourish of backstitching around it?
I usually use a thread which stands out against the background, but maybe I can do something. Something like how J.R.R. Tolkien did with his initials. Sadly, mine are pretty plain: SDS.
Honestly, I don't think I've ever really given a huge thought to how I sign my works. Just did my initials and the date. Hm....something to think about....
I wanted to do a wolf paw but I couldn't get one small enough and still look good. I got one 14 x14 but that's a bit big, I think and I can't see a way to make it any smaller. lol
Except for keychains, I place my 'vanity tag' on every piece of work I do.

When I first started out last year, I wasn't very subtle about how I added it in, lol. Look at my previous postings to see what I mean. Now, I try to make it unobtrusive. It's fairly small, so that's not too hard to do. My goal with large projects is for nobody to know where it is except for me (unless they're foolish enough to look really, really hard!) The charity quilt submissions I'm working on will be the first stitchings I make without the tag. It makes me feel slightly disappointed, if I'm being honest. I know, I know, silly.
BTW, the tag is a graffiti mashup of my initials, JNC.

I'd like to see what you come up with!

nothing plain about any initials! I've been playing around with them which I'll share with you once I have enough time
