Hi, as already stated in IRC the blue one looks good but I think it does not really fit to an Apache project. Don't get me wrong on this but it looks somehow too cold and commercial.
Good: -------------------------------- - the search box top right together with the ASF logo - the use of boxes as also done in the mockup at http://servicemix.apache.org/home2 - the bottom alternate navigation as text links What I would like to do different: ---------------------------------------------- - have an entry page without side navigation - another project logo (already have one in mind but want to make a picture first) - less menu items / pages - an extensive features page - put some nice looking boxes on welcome page for Downloads, Documentation and Contributing (like on http://www.opensuse.org) - breadcrumbs for better orientation - activity stream on the welcome page for Twitter, Blogs, News and Jira Hope this helps, Lars Am 21.10.2010 um 08:44 schrieb Łukasz Dywicki: > Hello, > I have two updates for you: > > Black version > http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/5087/servicemix.jpg > Blue version > http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/6781/servicemix2.jpg > > Regards, > Lukasz > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Łukasz Dywicki [mailto:l...@code-house.org] > Sent: Wednesday, October 20, 2010 2:19 PM > To: dev@servicemix.apache.org > Subject: [Discussion] Design update > > Hi all, > The changes in ServiceMix are hot topic now so I'll try too to provoke > another discuss.
