The new Gmail layout. I mean, I hate when things change, really, but I really hate it when things go from “Google annoyingly keeping a running tab of their storage space” to “Google making my login menu look like I’m filling out a starter check with a design that the bank chose for me.” For those of you that don’t have Gmail, behold:
Mountains? Really? And that was the best color scheme you guys could come up with? You describe yourself as “maybe even fun” and you think that gray on gray with a cadet blue stripe is the best way to convey that? Come on.
Also, I like how even though Gmail’s existed for a long time now (I’ve had it for three and a half years, according to the oldest of the 6100 messages in my inbox) they still call themselves new. And, I guess, are back to being in Beta? Is that even possible? And notice how the front page says Google Mail (not Gmail) now, but the inside pages (which I’m not going to screen grab for you) still say Gmail? Is it too much to ask that the largest company in the world could at least be consistent with their branding? Come now.
In other news, I’m waiting for the oil man to come and I’m going to be cooking and cleaning all day, so expect me to get bored and post more throughout the day.
