English translation:transparent logo // see-through logo
Explanation:
I think this is the meaning, a logo that if you put over a background, you can see the background around the logo lines.

(digital) watermark


Explanation:
I would go with this definition I found:

Wikipedia - Digital watermarking is the process of possibly irreversibly embedding information into a digital signal. The signal may be audio, pictures or video, for example. If the signal is copied, then the information is also carried in the copy.

In visible watermarking, the information is visible in the picture or video. Typically, the information is text or a logo which identifies the owner of the media. The image on the right has a visible watermark. When a television broadcaster adds its logo to the corner of transmitted video, this is also a visible watermark.
