gk10002000 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 The new website is hard to read. It has more blank spaces and uses low contrast colors of pale blue and white. Go to good old fashioned black and white. This subdued low contrast color scheme is bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carib Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Must agree on this, it all looks a kind of hazy, like driving in a foggy world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lannarebirth Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Not terrible, except for maybe the logo. I think you'll want to darken some of the colors though, both in the banners and the text. Plus the text is too fine, if that's the word. It needs to be a bit bolder.

Etrade for example. The young kids and their managers just think they should change things because they can, even though they can not cite one single customer that requested the change, nor will they state what manager directed then approved the changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeray Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Totally agree with above posters. It looks kind of shy. Should be bold and proud. Seems like change for the sake of change just happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxx Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I actually think this is a great improvement. The old colour scheme was visually jarring and amateurish. Anyway, particularly hard to read is Monserrat font-weight:400 color:rgb(63, 58, 138) as used for read items on forum index listings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esso49 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Just waiting for the next upgrade where the forum will be limited to half a page of almost illegible posts and the other half a page will be purely adverts in big black bold letters.

Peterw42 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Not getting the new logo, a durian ???? Thats a product that not everyone likes, it smells, its banned from certain places. If you go about your day seeing signs like below, doesn't that portray a negative image or sentiment, even if it is on a subliminal level. Durian not welcome here, Durian smells, and by association Thai visa not welcome or smells. Not capitalising your own name (a proper noun) tends to diminish its importance.

GroveHillWanderer Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Looks just fine to me - and my eyesight isn't the best. Although I think perhaps it depends on what platform/device/settings you're using. I'm using the desktop version on Google Chrome with an Android tablet. The Android app and the mobile version of the website have always looked awful to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
