Your opinion matters to us

I like A

Idea: The path becomes a string with the day cards lined up on it: a fine line instead of the wide band, flat and without sag.
Stays: The order of the days, the labels, the Advisor and the phase colors on the path.
Changes: The band becomes a line. In Beer, the tube, the foam edge and the carbonation go away.
Weakness: The phases lose area on the path and mainly show on cards and labels. Feels plainer, more like a transit map.

I like B

Idea: Instead of a line, a trail of dots like on a hiking map or a board game. Each dot carries the color of its phase.
Stays: As in A.
Changes: The band becomes a dotted trail, the same in every theme.
Weakness: Beer loses its beer river without a replacement.

I like C

Idea: The trail from B, but every theme draws it with its own motif.
Per theme: Beer: a string of carbonation bubbles. Along the fertile stretch it fizzes denser and more golden, like the river today.
EggClipse: a constellation. Fine lines connect the days, stars in phase colors sparkle between the cards.
Rosé Sunset: a trail of petals that match the blossoms in the background.
EggSposure: the red thread of the investigation board. The pins carry the phase, so the thread is not mistaken for the period.
Stays: Order, labels and Advisor as in A and B. Beer keeps its carbonation: it now fizzes on the trail instead of inside the tube.
Changes: Four motifs instead of one band look, one for each theme.
Weakness: Four times the design work. The thread in EggSposure is close in color to the period, hence oxblood instead of signal red.

I like D

Idea: The cards move together into squares like on a board game. Arrows show the direction, the Advisor stands on today’s square as the game piece.
Stays: The snake order, the cards and the Advisor.
Changes: The whole layout is rebuilt, along with the labels, the Advisor’s spot and the intro tour.
Weakness: Comes close to the month calendar: a grid of cards is still a grid. More compact in return.

I like E

Idea: Each phase gets a heading, the days sit below it. A bar on the left connects the stages.
Stays: Cards, phases and Advisor.
Changes: A new view. The labels become headings.
Weakness: The sense of a journey is lost. The result sits between logbook and calendar, and the days without a phase would need names.

New design for the ribbon view
