Updated Colors, Fonts & Branding in Watershed

Below is a short Q&A followed by some comparison screenshots of the new appearance next to the current appearance for organizations with and without custom colors.

What’s changing in Watershed?

The primary changes are:

• the default Watershed app colors,
• the typeface used in the app, and
• the Watershed logo.

Functionally, there are no changes to any of Watershed’s features, and we’re not changing locations of any titles, commands, or buttons.

Other, smaller changes include:

• The dashboard name will no longer be repeated between the top row of reports and the dashboard menu.
• The letter menu in the Report Builder under the People filter has been updated to not highlight unavailable letters.
• Activity reports will now show Successes as green and Failures as red.

What if I’ve uploaded my logo to my organization?

Watershed allows organizations to replace the Watershed logo by uploading their own logos. Custom uploaded logos will not be affected by the change.

What if my organization uses custom colors?

Watershed allows Enterprise clients to use custom colors in the app in place of the default colors. If your organization uses custom colors, they will remain the same when we change the default colors. The default typeface will change, though. Below you can see examples of how the typeface looks before and after the updates.

An additional LESS variable will also be added for custom client LESS files. Enterprise clients with custom colors in their accounts by March 27, 2020 will not have to make any changes to their configuration, and we will take care of adding the new LESS variable to match the existing branding.

When will this update be released?

We will be releasing this to our U.S. Sandbox environment on June 1, and to our U.S. Production and EU environments on June 3. We will continue to keep you updated.

Enough with the words! What does it look like?

Here’s what your account will look like if you don’t have custom colors set:
