It’s on every page lol. I could see it as ok if it were the first page alone. Sure it’s not the most professional thing, but it’s funny and a harmless way to make your firm stand out. But putting it on EVERY PAGE of the filing is hilariously obnoxious. It’s a legal document, not your furry/scaley fanfic.

You got me curious now. What would you prefer them to waste your tonor and bandwidth on?

Zero consideration for anything but promoting their “clever name and aesthetic.” Feels like this is close to what a legal document from Idiocracy would look like, might be an unfortunate step in that direction.

If anything, this article is a warning to never contact Dragon Lawyers. If they can’t see how a full color watermark causes issues on a legal document that might be copied or faxed, well I don’t trust them to see the details they need to see in my case.

I occasionally do scale drawings for my job, and I occasionally have to remind my coworker that her nice pretty colorized drawings will look fucking atrocious when printed in greyscale on a shitty laser printer. She likes to color code things to make it easier to communicate info… But that often ends up making things harder on the crews who are actually executing things. Because when she used color to communicate something, but the entire drawing is printed in shades of grey to hand a hard copy to the crew, it becomes fucking impossible to actually follow the drawing.

For instance… The yellow circle is the one we need done today. Here’s what she draws:

Except here’s what the crew receives:

Now imagine if this was a watermark on every page of a 50 page court filing, which then gets printed out for the judge. Now they’re seeing text on the grey background, which likely makes it harder to read and is a massive waste of toner. It also massively inflates pdf file sizes, because you’re sending that image on every single page.
