So all of these comments are just based on my opinions :) | |
| Feb 14, 2011 at 21:24 | comment | added | Fernando Briano | Well, I don't want to say the WordPress logo... but what about something similar? Something like the W in "Welcome", that tells me "Hey, this is the WordPress Answers site". Anyway, the more I look at it, the more it grows into me, and I'm starting to like it better everytime I look :P Don't get me wrong, I really like the whole concept of the theme, but in general I find there's something missing. I think the tag issue would finally convince me on the general UI. I don't know if using "<>" is the issue, more as I said, I think they go unnoticed. Probably a light color bg would make it. | |

| Feb 14, 2011 at 19:31 | comment | added | Jin | thanks for the comprehensive write-up. what elements would make you to relate to WordPress immediately? WP by itself is rather generic. Most WP sites out there look similar. In fact, I feel this press look makes our site stand out from the rest. As for comparing it to other SE sites, I think the visual execution has to achieve the said design goal. That goal was to make it press like. Gaming and Cooking designs were meant to appeal to a wider public, where as WP audience is narrower. As for tag treatment goes, when I added a darker bg, it made the site look very busy. But I'll try… | |
