Art Scatter’s new look, Variation 3
Call us vain, but here at Art Scatter World Headquarters we’re still obsessing over the way we look.
Does this typeface go with our headline style? Should we go Friday casual, sober-suited, country corduroy or maybe uptown funk? Do we want to look reliable, or available, or maybe flirtatious but with strict limits?
Today we’re feeling sleek. And no wonder, after trying on the last of three costumes we’ve been contemplating, a Web presentation theme called Modern. Yesterday we showed you the jazzier Copyblogger, and Thursday we kicked off with the simple but typographically elegant Veryplaintext 3.0.
One of these three designs will replace the format we’ve been using since Art Scatter was a newborn in February 2008, Artsemerging. Why? Because we feel like a change. But we want to make sure it’s the right change.
So, here you have it. Three new suits. Each with strengths, each with weaknesses. Let us know which one appeals to you and why — and if one of them really grosses you out, let us know that. too. After all, we just make this stuff up. You’re the ones who read it.

Sleek = good.

My vote: I prefer Variation 1 to all others, including the original.

Hmm, I waited till the last version appeared so I could compare all three, but now every post seems to be rendered in variation 3, so how do I go back and see the first two? can you post screenshots or something? I do like this Modern a lot.

In case you do a point system, my order of pref is: #1, original, #2 and #3 last.

Thanks, all. Brett, I tried to link to each design, but you have to get inside WordPress to do that and I don’t think they allow you to without a pass. Not sure if I can do it, but I’ll try to pull a screenshot and post. — bob
