Because this is so deeply ingrained in me (I've worked in the legal profession for over 20 years) I always sign everything I do in BLUE ink - checks, contracts, notes, etc.
Thats very interesting! All therse years people have told me time and time again to sign formal thngs and abusines things in black. I really do hate black pens. I can;t see them against type face!

Also, I use a different color pen on every drawing I'm doing to mark the day's edits. That way I can keep track of when I made what change when. I'll make a note of the date somewhere on the page so that I know. I've got tons of blueprints with at least ten different colors! It has saved me quite a few times when the client says "I didn't make that change until after you made the other change" and I pull out the drawing and say "no, that can't be. Its shows here that green was last Tuesday, and the orange was the Wednesday before that" My clients all know this and fear my colored editing for the days trick!!! LOL
