::::: To clarify: I’m not 100% anti colour. I personally would just prefer a more restrained, bland colour palette over an ‘everything goes’ approach. But I’m sure there’s a good middle ground to be found. My bigger issue is actually the other thing I mentioned: the amount of detail and elements within each image. Some of the images within OS25’s concept are too visually dense to be effective icons, imo.

:::::: I agree that having that much detail in the pictures is a problem and I had been hoping it nail that out when we had reach a compromise however it has been made clear that we won’t. So I think we should with with simply having the logos not the cast. I would like to have them in their full original colour, however there is some resistance to this which I understand, so perhaps we should have a colour pallet of three or so colours in which each image is formatted in (of course this has its own problems which I assume are immediately obvious)[[User:Anastasia Cousins|Anastasia Cousins]] [[User talk:Anastasia Cousins|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 08:45, 28 May 2023 (UTC) | :::::: I agree that having that much detail in the pictures is a problem and I had been hoping it nail that out when we had reach a compromise however it has been made clear that we won’t.

:: I've been trying to wrap my head around this argument and I find the battle-lines rather confusing. As I see it, a major concern with the radiating transmat-graphic is that it would turn off new viewers for being ''confusing'', making the more in-your-face Ottsel design much more newbie-''friendly''. I imagine the not-we looking at that peculiar asymmetrical diagram of interlinked circles bearing unfamiliar logos, and scratching their head at what they're even looking at, and thinking, "man, ''Doctor Who'' is a lot more impenetrable than I thought" — whereas the Ottsel pitch with individual thumbnail would be much more parsable at first glance, what with including pictures of the cast and such; and therefore much more ''accessible'' to the not-wes. It's not that I don't understand the argument about appearing daunting/overwhelming to new audiences, but I would personally assume that to be a much weaker effect than the risks of a home-page which seems ''hard to understand''. At heart our primary duty as a Wiki is to present all the information legibly and accurately; ''obfuscating'' information in some effort to appear more newcomer-friendly seems to me to rankle, as a basic proposal.
