Archived discussion. This page is a verbatim copy of a thread from
community.ansel.photos, the Ansel community forum, which ran from March 2023
until it was taken offline in June 2025 after the site was compromised — a counterfeit
site had been planted inside the forum software, so the whole thing had to come down.
The original address was https://community.ansel.photos/view-discussion/new-style-for-watermarks.
No crawler ever captured this particular thread, so the text below — taken straight from the forum database — is the only copy left.

Hi all,
I am working on more modern/nice/Ansel oriented watermarks.
For example the enclosed one (Ansel colours and logo and a slightly changed graphic).
I think we could also cancel the Hasselblad watermark since it is rather unusefull (a square black frame not usable on non-square photos) and I think to replace it with a ’logo’ one (The semi-transparent Ansel ‘A’ in the center of the image).
What do you think about this?
Can I try to do new watermarks and post them here for evaluation?
Thank you,
Maurizio
