I think that's the idea.

At first glance at the article, I thought this was going to look like the horrendous Ben and Jerry's innoventions plaza. But I dig it against the blocks of white and the now-white ceiling. It looks like they are incorporating the new pavilion symbol colors. Looks like a good early step in making the park feel cohesive. I like it.

Not me. The OCD in me screams "WHY DID YOU PAINT 3/4 of the front of one window a color but go to a natural breakpoint on the back?!?!" I would not have a problem if they painted the entire booth one color or the front and back half of each booth, but stopping 3/4 of the window, WHY?!

I get the OCD thing. But I think the reason the color stops in the middle of a window is because that's how far the color goes on the back side. So in some sense it's symmetrical. Does that make you feel any better?

I...kinda like the new scheme for the ticket booths? No, I can't explain why, and the logical side of my brain keeps screaming I should in no way like this. Weird colors! Strange blocking! And yet...
I'm not saying it's the best thing ever, but I do think it's cleaner and brighter than what was there before. Removing the yellow from the ceiling makes a world of difference. Never liked that mix of pink concrete, purple walls, and yellow ceiling from the old scheme. Blegh...

Good point on the logo colors. The booth colors are very clearly intended to match these. Wonder if the logos were supposed to be included on the ticket booths as well, but were left off since some of these new additions are "paused."

I shockingly like the booths. Epcot has lacked a sense of consistent design and I like them doubling down on it. Yes, it’s very “piecemeal Tomorrowland paint jobs” but it fits the new Epcot aesthetic nicely!

Noticed this from the Taste Track Burgers and Fries Donut Box thread - with the repainting, the ticket booths and this food kiosk now have very similar looks. So it seems there may be some attempt at park wide consistency (at least in ex-Future World) but we'll see if they actually follow through.

Also the Donut Box and some of the new Fastpass kiosks on that side fit the World Discovery color schemes: shades of Red.

The central trees are AMAZING!!!! WOW! The new entrance looks awesome! I can't believe people are saying cut down the trees. Then we end up with the MK where it's all concrete. Now we have different angles and different views of SSE. LOVE THIS!
Can't wait to see this in person!

The more “Green Futurism” the better. Bring on the trees.
Wait, am I supposed to go to the mauve ticket counter or the lavender counter?
The periwinkle one of course, silly!

As part of the entrance work it would be nice if they repaired the lighting that rings the entry courtyard in the ticket booth roof edge and along the perimeter structures. Not sure when the last time that was lit as originally intended.

Original EPCOT Center had that; the concrete came in the ‘90s.
