That's true, but I think it's possible to strike a balance. For example,
I said earlier we use Arial and Courier New fonts for our text. But we
do use a custom font for the headers in many (not all) of our documents.
We also use customized graphics in all of our documents, all of which
have the same look and feel. (And we always send out documents in PDF
form, never in Word.)
