Black
White — and only because of where this screen actually gets looked at. Black is the nicer object on a desk, but a run tracker is read outdoors at arm's length in daylight, often through a sweaty screen with auto-brightness maxed, and dark backgrounds lose that fight badly. White...
Adorable design! Fresh and vibrant!
Nice work as usual! High-contrast dark states always bring out the best in data-dense UI layouts.
black one is great
For something you'd glance at mid-run in bright sunlight, my gut says white wins on legibility even though black looks sleeker sitting still. Are you designing this with outdoor use in mind, or is it mostly an indoor treadmill scenario?
both's simplicity are fabulous, but black wins here for me!
Black
you should have both for better UX
Black for me. It feels more focused and premium, and it suits a cycling tracker really well without taking attention away from the ride data. Curious which direction you ended up choosing?
both look cool!
White looks better
Black for me. This reads as a running or workout tracker, and dark mode is easier on the eyes outdoors and better for glanceable metrics mid run.

Just published a new case study on Behance 🙈
This time it’s ARDEN — a data & AI platform we designed from the product UX to the final visual system.
Would love to hear what the Contra community thinks — which cover works better, Option 1 or Option 2, and why? 🫶

Option 1's grid of screens sells the product complexity better, but option 2's hero shot feels more premium at first glance, which matters more for a case study cover imo. What's tipping the community's votes so far?
🦁Two LED sign mockups for a geometric lion shield logo, same dark gaming room, same backlit wall mount, same angular lion mark. Two different color treatments that completely change the energy.
Which one's going behind your chair? 👇

Warm fade for me. 🦁 The amber tones feel bolder and more premium.
I made these two versions of new month design for a brand.
Which one does it for you?
