IdeaStorm: Aggghhh! It looks like Symantec! What were you thinking! (on the new look)

60 points posted to IdeaStorm by jorge 11/20/07

Did you hire the symantec web designer?

And where's my Social Media Category!

Almost forgot, the idea is to not use the new look, or at the very least give me the option of turning the Mustard off.

Come on Dell, Mustard is not a Dell color, totally disassociates IdeaStorm from Dell, besides the rest of the theme is typical Dell, so you're not fooling anyone. Blue links, Blue names, Blue Dell Logo, just put the blue back, you had your fun.

The rest of the page theme/stylesheet is still the old one, come one, you just switched a few button colors added a new logo image and removed some links at the top, cheap!

11/20/07		 I personally used the Social Media category for finding my ideas in a nice per vote or comment way, now you messed my personal category up...

Can I get my own category then? No, listing my ideas through the dash will not list them by last comment or vote like the Category did, man, what a mess.

11/20/07		 I got my hopes up that we could change our vote for a second but nope. Do they have the fonts small enough?
jorge
11/20/07		 The mustard man! Just gotta tone that down! Screams of puke.
jorge
11/20/07		 Well they did finally disable the Post/Promote/Discuss/See image to not go anywhere, so my idea on that must now be IMPLEMENTED!
matthew2142
11/20/07		 may be offer different color schemes we can chose from?
jorge
11/20/07		 Not if you demote there won't be.
matthew2142
11/20/07		 my mistake sorry
jorge
11/20/07		 Ha! They added the Talk to the Moderator button (not that it does anything) but yet another of my ideas, two implements! Well crappy implements but implements of some sort none the less.
sugarbear
11/20/07		 Geez, they made the print toooooooooo small. Apparently they didn`t want us to read anything here.
dwood
11/20/07		 I dont see that tab jorge.
jorge
11/20/07		 Where it says "Welcome your-username (logout) | About | Terms of Use | Talk with the Moderator". There, just above the new graphic and to the right of the Dell circle.
dwood
11/20/07		 yeah, its pretty much useless.
matthew2142
11/20/07		 may be they have something planned for the feature???
jervis961
11/21/07		 Yes the button will play a message and show a picture of DA1 looking sympathetic in the future. The idea is while you talk the recording of the moderator plays something along the lines of "I understand", "I'll have to look into it" and then "thanks for your feedback, we're looking forward to more of your great ideas". :)

11/21/07		 Oh my God...where's the blue color of Dell?....
premcv
11/21/07		 I like the design, but the color scheme does not go with the Dell color scheme, unless of course, Dell is going to have a change in its Corporate logo and color scheme.

Not to mention, the font size has reduced by atleast 2 font sizes, IMHO. Makes it neat to look but very difficult to read.
cosh
11/21/07		 Dell's new logo: DULL
premcv
11/21/07		 Yes, cosh! It is indeed! The colorscheme!
dwood
11/21/07		 I love photoshop.

LOL cosh!
premcv
11/21/07		 I love it too!!!
cosh
11/21/07		 You know on the Post an Idea button? What the heck is that thing?



It looks like a toilet!
petzymathuram
11/21/07		 Oh nooooooo where has the color of Dell gone?....where has the DA1 gone ?...by the way....who approved this?....
dwood
11/21/07		 A fool apparently (watch it be Michael himself)
petzymathuram
11/21/07		 Did he?...I wont believe.....it should be some one else..I'm sure I'm sure....I know I know...
dwood
11/21/07		 The person must be colorblind rofl
jorge
11/21/07		 I still think they must of hired a Symantec web lackey with all the Mustard here.
premcv
11/21/07		 Good one, jorge!
sugarbear
11/21/07		 Nice touch, cosh. Petzy, the logo above.
petzymathuram
11/21/07		 ????
cosh
11/21/07		 Interesting to compare the process image. Here's the old one and here's the new one.
badblood
11/21/07		 The site is kitsch.
badblood
11/21/07		 what's the little hammer supposed to represent. Our dreams being crushed?
cosh
11/21/07		 @badblood: Literally laughed out loud at that!!
premcv
11/21/07		 LOL BB!!
cosh
11/21/07		 Oh! Here's a variant we never saw, I think..
dwood
11/21/07		 How do we even know its a hammer?
jorge
11/21/07		 Aughh... thats too much badblood, definitely the image they needed on that icon.
matthew2142
11/21/07		 no cosh the post an idea is a lightbulb, one of the new engery saver ones
jorge
11/21/07		 Yea but there's two of them so a waste of energy none the less.
matthew2142
11/21/07		 i only see one..
dwood
11/21/07		 I see two in close proximity of each other.
matthew2142
11/21/07		 its one this is what its sposto ;look like

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us
dwood
11/21/07		 yeah? the ones with the mercury in them that if you break them you could die?
matthew2142
11/21/07		 yeah, thats the lighbuld they used in the icon above. just take another look at it...

i heard those lights are getting better but i still dont trust them. might as well be carfull and dont break them...
jorge
11/21/07		 I just realized they only state to promote but not demote, totally deceptive marketing, there should be a down arrow with the demote text as you can demote too!
matthew2142
11/21/07		 there is!!!

i fell there should also be a nutural vote and the option to change our votes (i know been discussed before)
dwood
11/21/07		 I just dont buy the bulbs. 70 watts good enough for me. I am not above them.

And..... you lost me jorge.
jorge
11/21/07		 To the left of the Bulb above but below the Title Image, it says Promote but they don't even ghost the word Demote, which leaves a subliminal message to only Promote, total spin job there, it leaves Demote out in the cold, Demotes are just as important.
jervis961
11/22/07		 Its discrimination I say! Promote the DEMOTE. :)
matthew2142
11/22/07		 jorge the post icon doesnt count
dwood
11/22/07		 ....... I SEE IT!
cosh
11/22/07		 Wait wait wait.... If we have an energy saving toilet bulb on the Post an Idea button, why do we have an ordinary incandescent bulb on the workflow_nav image? Shouldn't that be an energy saving bulb as well?
sugarbear
11/22/07		 I guess Dell forgot part of their going green.
matthew2142
11/22/07		 yeah.... it looks somewhat like a tolit but i think cosh is having a sick mind
petzymathuram
11/23/07		 Cosh??????
dwood
11/24/07		 Its all of us lol.
petzymathuram
11/24/07		 ??????

Jan 8		 If your mustard is orange, you might want to check your supplier!

Although I like this look, it couldn't hurt to offer themes.
jorge
Jan 29		 Well thanks for the support, I was thinking I was alone on this.
jervis961
Jan 30		 I have noticed the colors being implimented into the commercials now as well. Somebody decided to spread the mustard with a big knife I guess.
sugarbear
Jan 30		 I`ll go with Miracle whip, thank you.
dwood
Feb 2		 I like Miracle Whip's dark blue. looks advanced
