Microsoft’s Visual Studio 2012 team has a purple fetish. At their launch event today in Seattle, they showed off the vibrant color loud and proud. If you’re planning to host a purple-themed party in the future, here’s some inspiration.
Purple carpet
Purple signage
Purple hallways and lighting
Purple flowers
Purple donuts
Purple presentation stage, purple chairs
Purple slide-deck
Purple (melted) ice cream, blueberry flavor
Purple martini
Purple tablecloth
Purple cupcakes
Interior design by Marie Schrader.
Interior design WAS NOT done by Marie Schrader – Pinnacle and PJ Hummel were decor companies used managed by Kristyn Maddox at Microsoft.
Marie Schrader is a fictional character from Breaking Bad and presumably ‘Hank’ (her husband in the show) was making a joke.
The irony is of course that VS 2012 is basically a big slab of bland whiteness. If only there was some purple, if only!
color schemes to save the day! http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/366ad100-0003-4c9a-81a8-337d4e7ace05
The Windows 8 fanboys asked for consistency and Msft got confused.
Long, did you actually visit the event and take these pictures, or did somebody else pass these pictures onto you for use on this blog post?
I was at the event.
The design of this event was not by Marie Schrader. It was done by Pinnacle Exhibits and PJ Hummel & Co.
I am also like purple color and I like this event. Image is too good of this event.
Microsoft should have had a donation box for the Alzheimer’s Association somewhere.
