Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Seen their new colours on Twitter and not sure what to make of it!



Their website hasn't changed though.

My, that's funny. When I worked for Crystal about five years ago (for about five minutes) they were busy trumpeting their "exciting new branding exercise" ('exciting' my @rse, these people need to get out more), which consisted of a) organising their brochures by activity rather than location; b) putting a red blob on everything; c) giving their reps black jackets (same as most of the other TOs that season); and d) pushing a customer service ethos so basic that you wondered whether they had previously actually been kicking their punters to death on arrival. Apparently this lot cost them several million. Shocked

One of the reasons I lasted five minutes was my failure to be properly "excited", I suspect. Laughing

Keeps people like me in business. I quite like the new branding; cute, modern, more mountain-focused.

Boris, trees are green. Green and white are the predominant winter mountain colours. They may be trying to hint at a subliminal 'eco' message too (that's normally why green would be used for corporate branding).

queen bodecia, blue and white are the colours I associate with skiing - white snow, blue skis

besides, the green is shown at the top and surely that's above the tree line?

Personal taste I'm sure but don't like it

Boris, Sitter, I think you are being too literal. They are graphic representations. A green pine tree with a snow crust on the branches is a beautiful sight (as is a blue sky above, but that doesn't always happen). I would hazard a guess that they haven't used blue to stand out from a marketplace chock full of blue logos and branding...

queen bodecia, almost certainly - but personally doesn't appeal. It's not bad by any means, but falls short of making me go 'wow'

But as I always book DIY in anycase, I doubt they give two-hoots what I think as not really their target audience!

Kinda hints at colour-blind orienteering symbol or avalanche warning Wink Not sure if Crystal do other holidays? is it just winter and winter-sun (an odd concept that imho) ?

Just to be contary, I quite like it. Simple colour pallette, clean design, looks fun.
Of course branding all just so much whale-song and joss sticks, and delivering customer experience is the only thing that really matters.

andy, Crystal do do summer holidays, lakes and mountains stylee. Chalets that they staff plus hotels in places like Mayrhofen, Söll etc. (only know about their Austrian summer locations), obviously the beachy type holidays are covered by sister companies like Thompson, Sunsail etc. New colours seem to cover both seasons really.

But the black? Party/Apres all night, sleep off the hangover all day?

I'm sure the management consultants know that they are doing. All of those I know are more than loaded, so I'll take their word for it.
