I think that subtle and timeless have veered into rigid and stultifying. Of course master designers are able to twist it and make it fresh but there aren't enough of them on earth for every project to have one. For me internet video speed dating is a concept that's fun, spontaneous, maybe corny. None of that is expressed in the filteroff design which looks more like an accountant's blog. It's a "filter on" look. It looks like a defensive design intended to avoid criticism, but does that inspire users to go out on a limb and try a new form of dating? Perhaps a different minimalist design (or changes to the copy text) could do the job, but this seems like exactly the type of app where a maximalist, colorful, tongue in cheek kind of design could have worked.
