When You Have Your Own Iconic Brand…

Posted by on January 16, 2009

Did Gibson think that nobody would notice when they completely-ripped off Apple for  their new website design?

For reference, here is a screencap of Apple’s site:

Apple's Current Site

 

Which brings me to two points:

  1. When you have your own iconic brand, you really shouldn’t need to steal so shamelessly.
  2. It’s 2009, Gibson. Did you really think table-based layout was still a good idea?

I dunno — it’s such a basic layout, I could see how two designers could crank it out independently. I agree on point two, though.

I thought my website was clean

What's that? I can't hear you over your cluttered web presence. Yeah, you paid someone to give you the web-equivalent of a twenty-foot neon sign with fireworks, but no one will want to come back if their retinas can't recover from the stimulation.

Let Dancing Mammoth build you something beautiful and clean to make the most of your URL.
