Repainting of Epcot Central Plaza?

[Kman101]

Oh I remember that, I know. Doesn't mean it makes sense to me. Visually it looks appalling. I'm asking what the entire plan is. Details, not just the theme they're trying to justify.

Those "test colors" (if thats what they are) appear very similar to the ones used for the new Fountain View Starbucks. I wouldn't be opposed to Innoventions adopting it.

I think you are right. I think the painting of Fountain View was only the beginning of the painting in that area. Or after they painted Fountain View they decided the rest of the area needed painting with a cohesive color schemes.

That color pallet just doesn't work.

Who came up with it, an intern?

A blind intern, perhaps.

At least they are painting. We might not like it, but it is possible it could lead to something more cohesive. One never knows.

Thanks for the pics.

You're right, it does match those window covers nicely, ties it together much better then before. HOWEVER...

Those windows should not have covers. They should be WINDOWS!

Agreed. Windows are for looking through otherwise they're basically glass walls.

I think everyone is being a little to harsh on this paint scheme. If you look at the details, the different colors pull the whole place together. The windows should be see through and not walls, but since that is not the case, the paint pulls it together. The Mousegear sign also matches the new paint in the area. The whole area now looks like it was designed at the same time instead of having new things thrown in with the old.

^ yeah, the paint scheme does make more sense when you see it in person. The colors match what is below them. They do make the area more visually interesting and fresh. More subtle different color tones would have been better, though.

Sorry. I just hate it. It just looks like a mess. Too busy. Too in your face. The green over the walkway between the buildings looks terrible. H-A-T-E it.

But what don't you hate? I'm sure it would be a much shorter list.

True, currently when Epcot is concerned, the list would be much shorter of things that I like:
Living with the Land
Biergarten
...
Umm...
Via Napoli
1/2 of Spaceship Earth

I'm just glad to see they finally put those leftover gallons of used paint to good use....

We need to put someone on the task of looking at the most recent refurbs around the parks to figure out which projects they bought too much paint for, thus leading to the wonderful "design" we see today. I'll bet we can match up that neon green paint with some project or another.

Perhaps, but I honestly think that someone came up with an idea for the cheapest and easiest way to "spruce up" Central Plaza without impacting the quarterly numbers....

I am normally one that can look the other way when it comes to a choice I don't care for, but this paint scheme is a mess. I can not see a single redeeming quality in it no matter how hard I try. And this is coming from a guy whose bedroom is painted in a Monsters Inc inspired color scheme.
