A New Look for EllisLab?
Landing in my email inbox this afternoon was a request from EllisLab to confirm my email subscription and to sign up for announcements. The email was nicely designed and invited me to click through to their “Connect” page. This Connect page featured the same design and made me wonder…is this a new look for EllisLab?
If so, I like it. Maybe we’ll see some of this bleed over into the ExpressionEngine control panel.
The Connect page contains the latest tweets from @EllisLab, a way to sign up for their newsletter, and links to the Twitter, Facebook and Google+ accounts. A nice collection of their presence online and in all of the major social networks.

I thought the very same thing. I hope they are indeed going that direction, it looks great.

Well, it seems that this is spam - look at the link-target the button “confirm your subscription” leads to: http://paramoreredd.bm23.com/public/webform/render_form/default/567c7….....
If you clicked the link be sure you will receive some spam the next time

I thought twice about the email, but knowing Paramoreredd are handling lots of things for EL i went with it.
Hopefully this will spill over to the EE build, but who knows!!!

If you look at Sue’s signature image it would clearly suggest that this is the new look EL are going for… http://expressionengine.com/forums/viewthread/196318/#923702

The “paramoreredd” subdomain is because their agency (Paramore|Redd) is using their Bronto account to send the emails.
I agree that it could be confusing but it’s really nothing to be concerned about.

Ryan,
what was irritating for me is the domain to which the subscribe-link lead is http://www.bm23.com/ which leads to an empty page. This often is an indicator for spam. Also every mail I got from Ellislab until now was from Ellislab - and not from some ... you know.
Ok - it’s not spam. But it’s a very good imitate of the spam-phishing-thing

@Euan - I think Sue should be the Patron Saint of EE Developers :D
