Could someone perhaps design a CologneBlue Mk2, with the following changes: * serif font * clearer toolbar * key links along the top * include the wikipedia logo
I agree with all the objections to CB, but I also agree with the need for a cleaner-looking interface to welcome newcomers.

I hate cologne blue for two reasons - firstly, it's a san-serif font which is not as good for large slabs of text as a serif font. There's a reason why virtually all books are typeset in good old time-roman or something similar - it's easier on the eyes...
and secondly, it doesn't have the basic menu options up the top of the screen. When I looked at it I had trouble finding 'random page' and 'recent changes' and 'edit page' because they were buried in the busy sidebar instead of being neatly arrayed along the top by themselves.
