scarsofthumper Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I like it actually. I also like the fact that they have the new Red Sox logo as a top story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordie_delini Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 complimentary color palettes often play large roles in web design. I can understand why comcast.net, especially since it's not their sales site, would choose to use a calmer, more contemporary color palette. Especially since this is a page to read news and articles - you want something that's not going to be distracting or difficult to read text on top of.

But would you say the change in font matters as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbreadmann Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I dislike it because of the fact that the very first thing I thought of was a parked domain, and that's a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordie_delini Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Fonts on the web are a different story altogether - there are only so many "web safe" fonts that designers can use when using coded, searchable text for a website. These fonts are the fonts that are universal fonts found on every computer in the world, regardless of platform or operating system. It sucks as a designer, but that's the technology available today. You may say to yourself "but I see different fonts on the web all the time, why not here?" The reason for that would be one of two solutions: a) it's not real text - it's an image or it's a flash website that has the font file embedded into the flash document.

MVP Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I dislike it because of the fact that the very first thing I thought of was a parked domain, and that's a bad thing.That's exactly what I thought when I saw it. Particularly the comcast.net wordmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
