Universe of Energy being unrepainted!

[hpyhnt 1000]

Yeah, I think it was Earth Station that was that light blue. CCore looks like it was tan with brown trim back then,

One more thing, I'm almost certain that Innoventions has been repainted within the last few years. Its color is more of an earthy/mocha brown with a darker trim rather than the salmon pink we all loved to hate. Actually, its now almoost in the same color palette as the original color scheme of CCore.

This doesn't look like salmon pink to me... :shrug:

Here's that old salmon pink...

Notice how the support trim color used to be a really light pink.It is defintiely much darker and much more brown these days.

Original CCore was MUUUUUCH ligher. Almost silverish yellow.

And I think that it's the lighting that's doing that to the pic you posted. I'm pretty sure it's still pink, arid...and gross.:dazzle:

Maybe the posts have been painted...

Speaking of which, in this part of Martin's CommuniCore video, in the last ten or twenty seconds, CommuniCore is clearly tan, and you can even see the difference in the paint job on the CommuniCore West sign.

Oh, you got to my post before I edited it! Ah well. Yeah, I know its much darker than the original CCore look, but just as far as the color palette, its more of a shade of brown today, just like CCore was more of a brown. I'll see if I can find a better pic for comparison...

That picture looks like DLP's Discoveryland puked all over Innoventions! Disneyland's Tomorrowland got the same teals/pinks/browns all over it too. While it worked great at DLP, it looks awful on the sleek aesthetic of Future World and Tomorrowland.

Here, this works better. Top was then, bottom is now. Is it much? Not really, but there is a difference. More brown today than it used to be. :shrug:

The colors clash so much...aaaaaaaaak, my eyes.....:dazzle: :dazzle: :dazzle:

:lol:

Either it's the lighting, or it's faded.

Seriously. What was WDI thinking!?:lol:

That entrance isn't great. It would be nice if the overhang curved around to match the other parts. The Innoventions logo is really odd, and the gradients are awful. At least they removed the junk that used to sit in the entry area.

That teal still needs to go. Sooooooo 90s.

A little trip down memory lane, and our teal-loving 90s way:

I don't mind the lack of overhangs, because that's how you know where the entrances are. It looked a lot better back when it was light tan and surrounded by ponds and trees.

Yeah, the colors and gradients are terrible, and look like they were made by somebody who just learned how to use Illustrator and Photoshop. :lol:

EDIT: What's up with WDI suddenly using off-the-shelf fonts? They used to be better than that!

 

[marni1971]

SO what colours are we still confused about??

 

[Mr.EPCOT]

CommuniCore/Innoventions. Some are saying CommuniCore was always light blue, that it wasn't painted until Innoventions came along, and some are saying it was always tan. I think that it was originally light blue, but painted tan sometime in the middle of its CommuniCore days.

All of 'em, I'm pretty sure. So far in this thread we've read that Communicore used to be tan, blue, white, silver, brown, pink, and yellow. Which is weird, since I could have sworn it used to be lime green.

EDIT: What's up with WDI suddenly using off-the-shelf fonts? They used to be better than that!

No kidding! Wasn't the World Bold (aka Prototype) font designed specifically for EPCOT Center's pavilion signage? Get back on your typography game, WDI!

 

[Jasonflz]

I gotta admit, the old sign was so much cooler than the new one.

 

[hpyhnt 1000]

Either it's the lighting, or it's faded.

No, gosh darn it - it has nothing to do with light or fading! There's a difference, I tell you, THERE IS A DIFFERENCE!!!! :fork: :fork: :fork:

Riiiight....

Earthstation was originally light blue with white trim and silver panneling. It changed in 1994.

Communicore was a very pale light tan, almost grey in colour. It too changed in 1994.

TLS was almost white, again a very pale tan colour. Slightly whiter than CCore. It changed for TSWN.

wh00t! No more color confusion!:lol::lol::sohappy:

Thanks for clearing that up, Martin.

 

[Jasonflz]

Now if we could only figure out what color my house is.

 

[hpyhnt 1000]

Gosh, Martin, you never cease to amaze me with your vast library of EPCOT knowledge. Thanks for the clarifications! :wave:

 

[Expo_Seeker40]

I also came up with the same information as Martin guys...:shrug:
