New WFE

[Stone Shark]

Hi people. It's mois, Stone Shark.   

I'm finding the current WFE a tad bit drab, so I have created a new design. Please feel free to comment on it and create your own.

I find the idea of a more muted color scheme appealing, actually. But I will defer to the expertise of our more artistically inclined members.

I like the greyscale color scheme as well! Seems less intense than the colorfest that most regions use, and as a bonus fits Taijitu's black/white color scheme.

My only comment is that the colors used for the four offices are the "official" color scheme for those offices; that being said, we already use those colors on the forum and I wouldn't be too concerned if they weren't on the WFE.

So would you like me to change the colour of the offices or not? I personally feel that in order to keep continuity within the colour scheme we should keep the offices Black and Grey. However I can change that if you like?   

[Myroria]

Haha sorry. I'd be fine with greyscale but I'd like to know what everyone else thinks.

Awesome. 

[Khem]

My nitpick is the words which are alternating letters between black and gray are kind of obnoxious. They would be more clear if left as the opposing color to the surrounding sentence.

So more like this?

YES! Much easier on the eyes and the necessary sections *POP*

Yay!

Okay I have updated the original design with Khem's idea.

Agreed

Seems ok, I'd still change the alternating shades on the list of the "government" to one color, gray possibly, but I'm ok with this design.

I would also change the alternating colors of the list to a single one. The coloring of the links also makes it a bit unclear that they're links, I think it would be preferable to allow a bit of color in those cases.

I have changed it so it is just one colour. However I kept it black to stay with the Colour Scheme, which I based on Taijitu's scheme.
