I'm on a smartphone so I can't review this properly, but I want to tell that I absolutely love this proposal. Yonel, what an amazing work you did here. I couldn't like it more |
|
I really love the proposal ! |
|
Wouldn't it be even greater if the "sea" was slowly moving with some CSS animation? 😃 |
Yes, that would be super nice! I was tempted since I started working on this to give a subtle animation to some of the elements, the stars or the sea or the texts, but I'd need to look for some examples. Do you know how to do it right? |
|
If we decide add some animation, it shouldn't be a distraction, perhaps a limited animation (not infinite) of some element (not all) should be enough. |
|
First of all: 😍 😍 it looks amazing! I would not add to much noise (I think the current changing hue's might be already too much, but that might have more to do with the GIF than the actual result). |

I've created an inverted version too, what do you like more?
Note: Still the HUE value changes on every F5. |
|
I've also removed the ⭐ element from the initial version:

I really like the night sky with the stars. The Symfony logo totally reminded me of the moon. It would be funny to put the SF text on an allusion of a moon and add some glow. Something like https://www.vectorstock.com/royalty-free-vector/realistic-beautiful-moon-on-transparent-vector-19727271 |
|
I think it's the best design cleanup the Symfony default page could ever hope for 😄 I'd be okay to ship it as-is! 🚀 |
|
I liked the star element and maybe there could be a wordplay somewhere like "Star the symfony project". Not sure if it will make it worse though... Anyway really great result. |
|
Thank you @yceruto. |
