PoP Project is going Emo

This is a cross post from http://paradigmpop.com/node/28 so I'll have your comments there.



We have been tossing around ideas for PoP Project's UI and one of the suggestions was a black based scheme. The inspiration was the iPhone, which is generally a good flagstone for UI redesign. I was fervently against black based scheme because, well, Paradigm PoP is a white based scheme! However, after much persuading and a few swings, I was convinced to mock up a black based version.

I was blown away. The black based version immediately gave PoP Project an edgy feel, as well as a more professional look. The colors that need to stand out stand out better in black. The whole thing just looks so freakin' sexy in black.

That is why, as of yesterday, PoP Project is going emo with a black based scheme. The rest of our tools stay as they are for now and we'll see how that plays out with branding.
