I only ask to keep the logo in the rendering when I "donate" work. Other than that, I just try to sign it in a region that can't be photshopped out easily. I don't want to push it, so I try not to make the rendering about me or my business, it's about the customer's car. I expect the same recognition a shop gets when they build a car that ends up in the mag, no more, no less. If my name gets mentioned, (and actually spelled correctly) great. If it doesn't, no biggie, they don't owe me anything.
Kris and Jason, your styles are so instantly recogizable that you (almost) don't need to sign it. That's a very good thing for you.
Just my $.02.
