Why Is Facebook Blue? The Science Behind Colors In Marketing

Why Is Facebook Blue? The Science Behind Colors In Marketing
Editor's Note: This is one of the most-read leadership articles of 2013. Click here to see the full list. Why is Facebook blue? Not highly scientific, right? So how do colors really affect us, and what is the science of colors in marketing, really? First: Can you recognize the online brands just based on color? Before we dive into the research, here are some awesome experiments that show you how powerful color alone really is. Example 1 (easy): Example 2 (easy): Example 3 (medium): Example 4 (hard): These awesome examples from YouTube designer Marc Hemeon, I think, show the real power of color more than any study could. How many were you able to guess? Which colors trigger which feeling for us? Being completely conscious about what color triggers us to think in which way isn’t always obvious. Black: Green: Blue: Clearly, every one of these companies is seeking to trigger a very specific emotion: When we feel compelled to buy something, color can play a major role.

Oakland Social: 50 great things to do in Oakland this summer Once Memorial Day has come and gone, it effectively becomes summertime here in the Bay, despite what summer solstice sticklers might have to say about it. Along with BBQs, concerts, summer blockbusters and barefoot days, the summer season is a time to move slow and easy. That said, there are also a lot of ways to actively celebrate the summer to the fullest here in our city. We (and by “we,” I mean me and people I consulted who are in the know) have compiled a list of 50 things to do in and around Oakland this summer, in no particular order and by no means exhaustive. The following checklist includes everything from festivals to workshops to eating your way through the season — but more than anything, explore all that Oakland has to offer and generally embrace this coming summer with wide-open arms. Any other not-to-miss summer activities you would add to the list?

Which Are More Legible: Serif or Sans Serif Typefaces? | Alex Poole Update March 2012 See my expanded critique of Colin Wheildon’s legibility research. Back in 1998 when Times New Roman was still widely used on the web, my then boss made sure we always designed our web sites with Arial, as she hated the look of serif fonts on the web. Was it the case that sans serif fonts were more legible, or was it just a matter of taste? In 2003 as part of my master’s degree I reviewed over 50 empirical studies in typography and found a definitive answer. Introduction An argument has been raging for decades within the scientific and typographic communities on what seems a very insignificant issue: Do serifs contribute to the legibility of typefaces, and by definition, are sans serif typefaces less legible? Part 1 provides typographical definitions. Part 2 reviews the evidence for and against the legibility of serif and sans serif typefaces. 1. Legibility vs. readability An illegible type, set it how you will, cannot be made readable. Typographical features Point size 2. 3.

The latest wave at this well-trafficked intersection - historically home to Italians, then Ethiopians, Eritreans and Koreans - is bohemians, hipsters and young families who are drawn to the local shops and services. Where a horse-drawn street car line once ran Victorian pleasure-seekers from Idora Park amusement/trolley park - with its wooden roller coaster, skating rink and opera house - north on Telegraph to UC Berkeley, their modern counterparts now flock for queue-worthy food at the East Bay's latest challenge to Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto. Much like the long-buried and dammed original Temescal Creek, the neighborhood's reputation for revelry was never quite vanquished - bearing witness is the wildly popular Temescal Farmers' Market, a Sunday magnet planted near the site of the massive turn-of-the-century Lusk Cannery and the resurrected creek. 9 1-2-3-4 Go!
