Back in March I noticed Name.com was testing a new homepage design that consisted of a ‘funky’ new purple and lime green color scheme. Well, word just came from Name.com in the form of an e-mail that they have officially changed their color scheme, logo and overall homepage design. The new homepage is the same color scheme and very similar to the one Name was testing a few months ago.
The change Name.com says in it’s email is an expression of it’s ever evolving brand
..we realized our current style did not reflect the inventive, technologically progressive, wildly amazing company we see ourselves to be.
Name has also mentioned it’s not only an aesthetic change, but they have been working to improve the ‘back end core’ and are continuing to release more tools for domainers. In the Name.com blog announcement, Ashley even clues us into the fact that Name.com has an iPhone App and website builder in the works.
I think Name.com is going through some really great and exciting changes. It’s a great registrar and I am very proud of how they represent Denver, Colorado. I’ll be honest though – I am not a huge fan of the color change and new homepage.. however, as always, I am really looking forward to enjoying and utilizing the innovative tools and platform that Name.com provides.
So, what do you think of the new Name.com design?

Aesthetically, it sucks ass.
If you have to start out your announcement saying: “we have not been hacked and this is not a phishing site..” then you know it’s bad, lol.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
I liked the former design much better…the new one sucks big time.
Well, anyone like it? They are getting mixed reviews on their blog post. I think that either way Name.com is great and a drastic branding change could spark something big for them. I don’t see it as a “bad move” at all.
The new look looks terrrible! I hope they reconsider and reverse to the original.
Bad color scheme and color combination. Out dated style and design.
Hey everyone,
Ashley here, marketing coordinator at Name, sorry to hear you guys aren’t diggin’ the new design. Hopefully some of our new products and services will help twist your arm. Thanks for commenting, also feel free to send any design feedback to [email protected]. Thanks.
