This is something an actual, real life, semi-human being asked of one of my colleagues when designing a logo for their website:
Logo: need a stable, recognizable image the elders will find comforting and the younger will find secure; was thinking of using a sillouette of a victorian era nurse as part of the logo, But to consider on individual and selected pages–to include a woman listening into a seashell for a page that talks about how we listen to them –they are our eyes and ears. I also like using the C three times like waves as the logo. Comforting pictures of elders with their pet and in their home–maybe I could get someone to hold snickers (her fucking dog)
Colors: studies are showing that red and yellow are more visible to the older eye than blues and greens. Maybe a primary combo of red, yellow and black or green would be good?
It always amazes me how few webmasters go crazy and end up shooting up design conferences.
