Alternatives to watermark

Question

Are there any alternatives to watermark ie something that looks nice overlayed on top of text but with something like a stamp or a seal for instance ?

Answer 1

Since background is a TikZ package already, anything possible with TikZ is also possible for background

Here's just an example

\documentclass{article}


\usepackage{background}
\usetikzlibrary{shadings}

\DeclareRobustCommand{\bgcontentsstuff}{%
  \begin{tikzpicture}
    \shade[ball color=red] (-0.5\textwidth,-0.5\textheight) rectangle(0.5\textwidth,0.5\textheight+1em);
  \end{tikzpicture}%
}

\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}
\backgroundsetup{contents={\bgcontentsstuff},scale=1,angle=0}
\blindtext[10]
\end{document}
