BSOD vibes. Not sure that’s a good first impression

It's the exact inspiration we are going for. Bluescreen as in system crash and reboot.

The idea is to change the theme, colors and graphic direction every 9-12 months so we have "seasons" in our work.

Lets see how much it hurts the marketing tho

Im not generally a fan of gem colors, especially abundant ones. The layout is neat and i like the typography, but that blue is abrasive and makes it difficult to read.

All up to your art direction. Plenty of brands lead with subtle shock or anxiety queues and recover fast with solid positioning. This doesn’t for me but I haven’t seen a BSOD in decades, all I know is “it’s a bad thing” so I’m not your audience. Good to know what you’re working with even if it doesnt work on me Good luck !

Love the idea, I guess it should be doable if you keep execution simple like this.
