Twitter has a New Look, and We Like It

Marisa Porter - February 3, 2014


Light and airy.

Modern typeface.

Better visibility of key elements.

Clearer navigation.

These are the first impressions I had when I saw the Twitter’s new design.

The changes are actually very small. But they make a world of a difference.

The white background allows the graphics and modern typeface of the numbers to shine.

The bar across the top is white, with a darker search bar. The icons on the bar appear larger because of the white background.

The annoying light gradient on the default profile box background is gone, replaced with a much more subtle texture and gradient, allowing your profile information to be more legible.

The new light airy twitter pages:

The new profile box is a win, replacing the shiny gradient with a more subtle one, and adding a pleasant texture:

There are a few changes that make a big design difference:

Also of note but not as recent, Twitter has become more graphic and content-centered in the last few months, displaying images in full view rather than requiring an extra click.

These subtle changes in texture and color prove that the smallest of design choices affect your brand and look in a major way, delivering a completely different user experience.
