- Too many different fonts. Three typefaces (seems like League Gothic, Arial and some rounded one) and four fonts (multiple widths for that rounded). Use two typefaces at most, and create strong identity with that.
- Logo sits without a place, without alignment. Put it to the right corner, above or even before the text, just align it somewhere.
- Status LEDs should be light grey? This label kind of ignores otherwise consistent colors.
Thanks for the critique, I always appreciate informed opinion :)
- The rational is that the rounded (Quicksand) is for the logo and branding only. Using it for body titles as well weakens core branding in my eye.
League Gothic is doing the heavy lifting for most of the chart.
Helvetica is for a couple of incidental labels. I should really use League Gothic for the dimensions too, there's no good reason not to, so will bear that in mind for future revisions.
The power supply in Helvetica is more a standard labelling convention. It could easily be dropped from the design.
- As for the logo placement, this is not meant as a finished layout, more an example of elements for reuse in other contexts. Still, that was lazy of me :-)
- The light grey is for 'techie' bits of the design. The LED's should be black as they're indicators for all users, not just the hardcore. So yes. Well spotted, that's an inconsistency I'll fix it future.
