Your cover letter and resume are a team and complement each other in content as they should in form. Using the same letterhead is one way to ensure that their formats are similar, but creativity is not to be discouraged. As long as the letterhead on each is obviously related to the other, there is no harm in using different letterheads. However, remember that most prospective employers must sift through so many cover letters and resumes that the propensity for confusion is compounded and your cleverly linked letterheads may never make the necessary connections.
