I'm neither a graphics guy nor a marketing guy, so I'd be happy to be overriden, but I thought the argument from the other side is the continuity from our previous name.
In FOSDEM and in SCALE 10x, I had several occasions where people who didn't know about Jenkins came over and I was able to quickly convince them that we are the natural continuation thanks to the similarity of the UI. The other thing is that the current color scheme is from Tango color palette, where we draw icons from. So presumably colors look more consistent with icons, etc. 2012/2/22 Andrew Gray <[email protected]>: > Hi All, > > While we are speaking about Ui "fixes", one thing I never understood is why > we have not changed Jenkins to match the new red and black color scheme. > There is a pull request somewhere with the work all done it just needs to > be merged. > > I really think it would add to the brand not only in its own right but also > to distinguish Jenkins from Hudson. > > While "Branding" IS marketing and marketing is something that we developers > may hold is less regard than enhanced functionality, marketing has its > place. > > From someone who wants to see the widest possible adoption of Jenkins, it is > business-type people that I often need to convince not only on the idea of > CI but also that Jenkins is the correct choice therefore a completely > aligned brand has value. > > We all want Jenkins to look as professional a package as possible, therefore > on this basis I ask that the pull request be merged as part of this Ui > improvement drive. > > Happy to discuss, over to you. > > Regards, > > Andrew > > > On Wednesday, February 22, 2012, Jesse Farinacci wrote: >> >> Greetings, >> >> On Mon, Feb 20, 2012 at 11:43 PM, Andrew Gray >> <[email protected]> wrote: >> > Say I wanted to queue a build for all jobs in a view at once. >> >> I don't disagree that it could be more conveniently or prominently >> displayed, but >> https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Bulk+Builder+Plugin >> does have a way to bulk submit all jobs in a View. >> >> -Jesse >> >> -- >> There are 10 types of people in this world, those >> that can read binary and those that can not. -- Kohsuke Kawaguchi
