naughty

from pricelink.co.uk's html newsletter:

Obviously not as naughty as say, real's hidden subscriptions, but still plenty bad. Blue on blue for the unsubscribe?

Do you think they did it deliberately? Or is it just bad design? They could have, for instance, made the blues almost indistinguishabe or made the font a few sizes smaller.

I wonder-- since the main newsletter has a white background, and the bottom has blue but they choose white for the text, I find the omission of a readable color for unsubscribe suspicious. Even if it was accidental, it still should have recieved the same level of QA as the rest of the page.

- it probably did. Looks to me like another example of changing a font colour, but forgetting to modify link styles as well.
