Agreed.
The company suffers when people trying out the free version are unable to demonstrate the diagrams in business meetings. The watermark quantity is fine, but the dark grey colour makes the images useless.
I suggest making the watermark colour very light grey. This way, it is always visible, but never obstructs the actual diagram: so software architects will be able to present the diagrams in business meetings, allowing all the audience to view the brilliance of Visual Paradigm.
After all, the company can gain customers the most through word-of-mouth spread of awareness as a marketing channel.
