Judge should be fired. Does the dragon somehow change the words on the page? If the watermarks affects the ability for screen readers, then fine. Otherwise, the judge is clearly unable to form an unbiased opinion and is willing to allow something irrelevant like appearance bias their cases.
Proof that a degrees don’t determine intelligence.
Pretending this country has any professionalism whatsoever. Considering who is president and the shitty behavior of most politicians ... get fucked.
"Federal Judge Strikes Down Rule of Cool."
It’s not even cool. It’s cringe af.
My only issue here is that it makes the text hard to read
I don't see the problem. It's from a company called "Dragon Lawyers". If it was idk "Flower Lawyers" they could put a flower with a tie or something. What is it with those snowflakes not being able to handle a decent watermark. It's not like it's somehow offensive.
NGL, I think it looks really unprofessional. Imagine “flower lawyers” putting a tulip in a cartoon suit and giving it a menacing expression, it would look just as dumb. Likewise, a dragon could make for a much classier design if approached in a different way.
Exactly. This isn't some little iconic flourish in the corner, footer, or the header. There's also some general rule of thumb with watermarks being flagrantly disregarded (keep it simple and monochromatic so it doesn't impact content legibility).
And even if I personally didn't have a problem with it, I would seriously question the competency of any law firm that mis-read their audience so dramatically. I can't imagine many courts looking at that and not having at least an immediate knee jerk reaction of "The hell is this? Are they fucking with us? Is this a joke?" which is an absurdly poor opener to your case as a lawyer.
If some firm got a headshot of the lawyer handling the case scowling and used that as the background of every page in their document they'd be laughed out of court. Just because "dragons are cool" or something doesn't make this any less silly.
Edit: The dragon icon in the footer is perfect if they wanted some visual flair to set them apart, and it's a relatively simple monochromatic design. It just makes it even more absurd that they didn't just use that and instead went for this detailed and visually busy picture.
Damnit, I thought I had something good to post finally.
makes the text hard to read but otherwise I think it's fine
To be fair, making text hard to read somewhat defeats the entire purpose of text.
