The new Google color scheme

Discussion in 'Google' started by Harry9888, Jul 1, 2011.

    I don't know about anyone else, but the new color scheme Google has put up on their website relating to the navigation bar at the top is really annoying.White background on main, black bar with grey text? Utter failure Google, utter failure.When the black bar just first showed up for me earlier, I couldn't seem to find anything as dark grey on black is extremely hard to see.

    I think it's quite good actually, though about 5 years late.

    You probably need more colors on your PC if you are having trouble seeing the letters.

    My thoughts are that it really looks like Ubuntu's default GTK theme. That's not just me, there's an article somewhere of turning it into a gnome-panel sort of thing.

    But I think it's cool.

    It's new, it's fresh.

    Google just starts to make people get used to their new ideas. As you may noticed they have also added new theme (same colours) to the google mail.

    I like the new color scheme too, though I've gotten use to their old color scheme. But I guess it's time for a change.

    Quite simple - I do not like it!

    Me think Marissa Mayer
    Vice president for search products & user experience, Google
    Who worked on developing Google's now-familiar minimalist look (well what was)

    Should dig in her heels, kick up a stink and do a Harry Enfield and say

    No Googlers we should keep the old familiar Google it's the simplicity that everyone has grown to love.

    I for one don't like the black and grey horizontal bar emblazoned across Google pages!

    What's with the red links on the left hand side as well? I think they are using too many colors on one page.

    I like the new scheme looks a little more modern while still keeping the Google simplicity

    Google's new color scheme and overall look resembles a cheap WordPress imitation, just that.

    About simplicity, it seems you never tried the early Google versions when it was fully functional, not just candy-eye and Ajaxism.
