In preparation for hopefully beginning to implement pieces of the new design, I circled back and cleaned up some pixels. We're getting closer, but damn there's a lot of work left to do.
LOVE the wood background! I don't care what anyone says, it's just perfect for the overall color palette and level of detail. (Secretly hoping you post a PSD or short tutorial on how it was made)
Thanks! The wood grain is all Jared Christensen. He used it for some ads we ran, then it made it into his redesign of the public site (not implemented yet), and I ended up appropriating it for the application design.
This is amazing, but I have one issue with icons – tick and gear have rounded edges while calendar and graph do not. I guess it’s the difference between Helveticons and Pictos, but if you could nudge a few paths to make it similar (one way or another), that would be great.
Thanks for the feedback Peter! I've been on the fence with that myself. The different weights have bothered me a little as well. I got the itch and went ahead and softened the corners. Definitely the perfect finishing touch.
