general Slight design change

Posted May 13, 2007 • Comments Off on Slight design change

The orange color of this blog (and of much else in my life) is sampled from the butterfly that is the application icon for Adobe InDesign CS2, my favorite tool.

It’s a nice butterfly. I like the secondary colors blending together. Orange and purple (and green) are more interesting than red and blue and yellow.

But InDesign CS3 is out now, and I like it, and it no longer uses the butterfly. Its icon (like all the new Adobe ones) is a square with letters in it, like an entry in the periodic table. And I’m not about to let my blog be decorated with a square (even if it is purple) that says “ID” in it. Not everything here comes from my id, for one thing.

So I found another image I’m going to use. You see it above (unless you’re reading via RSS). It’s a typewriter key with an E on it. We’ll see if it works out.
