Re: Improvements to Onshape - December 10th, 2020

I understand wanting branding. I'm over it.

But beyond that, I hope PTC becomes more of a silent owner...
Onshape is where it is today because the staff is amazing and the community cares about the product to give helpful feedback. We give the feedback because Onshape listens and answers every message. I feel if PTC takes over, everything will fall on deaf ears.

PTC should let Onshape continue to be awesome by doing what they do best. Listen and deliver. PTC can just sit back and collect the paycheck.

Re: Thoughts on the logo

Eh, it's a logo. If it makes them happy, it's their aesthetic to do with as they see fit.

That being said, I preferred the old one. It was more recognizable, and reminded me of a periodic table element. It was a nice touch.

However, that's not the issue which gets me to post here. The new color branding-- designed to match the logo-- is what bothers me more than anything. The main page has been updated with the green buttons and, putting it charitably, it's a questionable decision.

Green buttons are not a way to go, no matter who owns the company. It's a question of contrast and readability, not market share and branding. I sincerely hope that the webpage updates are rolled back and in general the green is kept far from UI elements.

@Onshape, please don't make your interface and homepage harder to use just to satisfy branding requirements.

Hi Everyone,
@alnis_smidchens will be participating in a "speed modeling" tournament Monday at 7:00pm EST. He will go up against 7 others, and will be the only participant using Onshape. I've seen his speed modeling demonstrations, and while the field is tough, I have confidence that he will be crowned champion.

Let's all give Alnis some encouragement!
