As noted, the enclosed is the UNIQUE graphic generated for today's document
exchange.  It incorporates a date, a unique blockchain-generated transaction
authenticator that also exists in my personal records, and the same logo I
use for everything else.  Keep in mind that the cursive squiggles that Docusign
generates for people are not "wet signatures" either and carry a completely
different legal status, and if you need to review the facts around e-signatures
I suggest reviewing what Docusign presents as existing precedent,

  https://www.docusign.com/products/electronic-signature/legality/united-states/

and if you explore my own website, http://techno-fandom.org/~hobbit ... you
will see that same graphic all over the place, mostly as subtle watermarks
in all of the images I uploaded.

What matters is the surrounding electronic records, that the signing was
performed under my existing Docusign account, timestamped and with the IP
addresses of the web interaction recorded along with.  The process indicates
*intent*, and what's in those little graphics is of NO consequence relative
to the validity of the signature process.

There is no reason to be obstructionist about this.  I have shown you an even
more secure option than you thought DocuSign was giving you in the first place.
