Oticon

  • Navbar swallow 20 percent of the available window size.
  • Red arrows try to tell the user where he has been and can go. Yet the direction of arrows is too hard to see.
  • Green color indicate "you are here". This signal is very difficult to interpret for users because many other colors are used in the navbar.
