Andrew Wilkinson suggests a few visual tweaks to the new Tumblr 4 Beta design…I’m not feeling it. The icons up top seem forced and awkard. The eye icon doesn’t seem to relate to anything else. Why is the Tumblr logo talking to us? Justified text does not read easily. It looks like this went through a formula factory. The guys at Tumblr know how to edit a design and take away. To me, this is lots of ‘tacking on’.
More specific critique here. Because it’s so much easier to draw on things.
I like the current one more. But hey man, put out a greasemonkey script or stylish code and I’ll play with it! Look at GMail Redesigned. More people should make their own designs for sites.
