If you can afford the Digimarc library (see
http://www.digimarc.com/licensing/sdk.html &
http://www.digimarc.com/news/pr00-13.html), Bill Radcliffe
<BillR@corbis.com> can send you source for an ImageMagick module to do
professional-grade watermarking.

ImageMagick's 'combine' utility supports simplistic hidden
watermarking via its -stegano option.  If you want a visible logo, you
could use -compose to compose your logo on top of, or blended with,
the base image.  Your visible logo can be mostly transparent in order
to not disturb the image too much.

See this interesting article about digital watermarking:
