Alpha Xbox 360 UI Design Changes

[Deleted member 12]

Original Style Concept:
Nino - Worked with Rowbotik to Start Designing Blades.
JDK - Company that did the concept Icons.
AKQA - Company that made the ORIGINAL Blades concept that Microsoft accepted.

The Original Blades Dashboard, to make things smooth, there were gradient covers over the edges. The Timelime was around 5,00 Frames with 80 Layers.

OG Blades always gets a few seconds of my time to admire. Some of the best UI design ever.

If only they would give us themes for UI on consoles, nice and simple you knew where everything was.

Agreed, although I'm personally quite fond of the NXE dashboard. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DAbqAJ78LJc/maxresdefault.jpg

^ yes this, I liked it way better than blades or the latest one with the metro look

I think Blades and NXE were the best overhauls ms has done so far with their consoles.

I believe you may have posted them on the old forums, they were very cool indeed. I have a couple of conceptual dashboard images that have never been released before, so I'll post those when I get home later.

Man, I do miss the blades... Glad I still have some pre-nxe X360s around to mess with every now and then.

Same, I have one on 6683 and another on 7371 blades dash is my favorite UI out of any system

NXE is the best dash.
Blades is good!

Metro and Kinect are utter rubbish.

Looks like the image links are dead. Tried in 2 different browsers.

I swear I fixed these one's awhile back. I'll get onto it tonight thanks for spotting @einsteinx2 this was a hold over from before we moved to the CDN.

@Damien sweet thanks! Looking forward to taking a look at these. I always liked that dash style, never really liked the remake or the Xbox One dash...

Sorted, you may need to hard refresh (ctrl + f5) to get them showing. I thought i'd done these all months ago serves me right for being busy ?

Awesome, I can confirm it's working now.
