Design Trend: Purple
Filed Under Web Design Trends | Leave a Comment
What is it about the color purple that makes such a remarkable impact?
The term ‘purple cow’ is a marketing term referring to an idea or concept that steps people in thier tracks – making them notice, and hopefully get them talking about it. Seth Godin’s Marketing for the book “Purple cow” employs this very technique.
Nexium was one of the first brands to employ this technique, literally – both nicknaming its product ‘the purple pill’ and coloring its ads and the pill itself purple.
Yahoo! Recently released their new theme – purple. The slogan: “Start wearing purple“. Look more more purple all over Yahoo, including on the new advertising platform, APT.
I’m sure you want to see more purple sites and judge for yourself. Rollover to preview.
