CodeGear has updated its web site with the new logo and style.
Just a quick note to tell those who didn't notice that CodeGear has updated the graphic and style (not much the content) of its web site, www.codegear.com. I think I like it, although on a very large browser window it looks a little empty... I should be off work today, have a lot to post, but will do that tomorrow.
I don't quite like it: I don't like the colors, I don't like the logo, I don't like the banner, I don't like the fonts! The content is poor, the browsing menu is old-sylish. Summing up, it seems very amatorial. I wouldn't like it even if it was my site, all done by myself. CodeGear's site can be better that that!
Yeah I gotta agree with the first comment. The black and red looks terrible. The contrast is poor and it looks pretty amateur, as well as appearing either satanic or gothic in its approach. Ugh! Randy
I agree with the others.... the site is really uncomfortable to the eyes with all the red and black. I also don't like the logo. Fritz
There are some pros and cons I think. I like... - Clean look, - Looks more modern, no longer that 1980's corporate feel, - Consistent look & feel for the most part across the pages, - Liquid layout. Things I don't like as much... - Markup still too table-heavy, - Some padding issues with sidebars, - Search and log on aren't liquid with the header, - Logo looks like it was pulled from a badly scaled raster image instead of a being drawn in Illustrator and then scaled to the correct size as a vector, then saved to raster, - Red used for headings needs to be darkened up or slightly desaturated, - Header fonts in left sidebar too big. Basically I like the "big picture" and I can see where they were going, but there are some little details that just don't quite give it that sense of polish.
I don't like it. Infact i can't even look at it. It is a strain for the eyes. For example see this link http://www.codegear.com/downloads/free It reminds the very popular "Ads by Google" style of advertising and i usually don't mind reading this while i am browsing. I bet many of you too.
