I really enjoyed the subtle design / aspects of the loon landing page.
Starting with the darker background of the thermosphere and progressing into the twilight of the troposphere was a really nice touch. I also just noticed the small altimeter on the left of the page.
Also the whole phonetic wordplay with "loon" and "lunar" was cute. Coming from New Hampshire, I naturally immediately thought of the aquatic bird:

But the "lunar" aspect wasn't lost on me.
Kudos, this type of subtle design is refreshing in the wake of the iOS7 release.
- pettazz 13y agoI immediately thought of "loon" as part of "balloon" and also "loon" as in insane or ridiculous. It's a perfect name for something so ridiculous with the potential to be ridiculously awesome.
