ReBranding my newsletter. Wanna have a sneak peak? Feedback is also welcome.

So, as the title said, I am rebranding my newsletter.

I am creating a landing page separated from my actual site because I am planning to move away from Substack and host my own.

I really want it to look nicer than that.
Soon as I learn how to though....

Let me explain why..

The newsletter now is called Colors & Fonts Digest bit is going to pass to The Unicorns Feed*.

The new "logo" is just bold letters with a border, made in Figma.

If you are not familiar with logos, and want a nice logo I encourage you to try at least. Or have a look to Logology.

Anyways, the stack is only Tailwind CSS, o course with Post CSS and autoprefixer.
I used to be a Bulma guy, but...I can see myself dumping it.

It's incredible what you can do with Tailwind, the 9nly CSS using by now is the gradient text and a div's height so I can overlapp the image.

I am not completely done with it at all, bit I am getting there...

You can see it here.

I am always open to feedback !

Thank you and have a great day!

    Hey Ryan,

    Thanks a lot for your kind words.
    Ghost? I have been looking into that actually it look pretty cool and I am keeping it in the back of my head for when the newsletter brings in cash.

    I still have pretty much to do though...

    Tailwind, recommended. It uses a bunch of classes, bit I am completely fine with.

    Then when installing is not so straight forward...but is worth it.

    What's your newsletter?

      I'm going to start researching Tailwind this weekend. My newsletter is The Stakeholder Report; it's Project Management centric.

        Hey, how is the Tailwind adventure going?

        I could share your newsletter with my audience if you want.

        I am going to do the last newsletter featuring and I could do it with yours if you fancy. Its free though...

        I liked what I readed and it was interesting, maybe my newsletter's readers likes it too?

        Thank you Ryan.

          That would be great. Thank you. As far as Tailwind, I might be able to play with it tomorrow. Weekends at my house are no-joke busy. 5-kids going every direction.

    I love the look. I'm using Ghost for mine... and now I think I'm going to learn some Tailwind... very clean, simple, and to the point. πŸ™Œ
