What's wrong with the red? It should be red to stand out from the background.
Blizzard tends to use trademark sort of things in all their games from expansion to expansion and I believe that old reddish button style is one of them that they define World of Warcraft with. However they should reaize this button style is getting really old and outdated. It's like if they put the pixelated ancient warcraft logo from 1994 into the new reforged version. Sometimes even old values have to change with times. So I would welcome a login screen style update similar like this.
I like the fan-made buttons, but I would leave the other letters dark, maybe some cooler colour, than the original, but not white.
This does look to be heavily inspired by ingame button look of AzeriteUI addon.
Honestly I wish we could have options for which login screen we can use. Maybe some type of achievement to unlock the login screens?
I love this! I'd love Blizzard to add this or even as an option to either have the original red one or always the expansion themed one, ie Legion could have been green, BfA red and blue, Shadowlands white, maybe future void expansion purple? This could go further into the options menu, etc.
I would like to see the Shadowlands version very nice, I agree with using the skybox but think it should be taken from the other side in Shadowlands rather then using Icecrown as the backdrop for me this will always be Wrath.
Different doesn't always mean better.

It just looks like they forgot to colour the buttons. Red looks significantly better.
it looks nicer but the standard assets have always been that color yeah? not saying that they shouldn't change it up, but it seems unlikely. The fanmade one is for sure a much better looking and thematic approach though, kudos!edit: also i appreciate the simpler approach to the design on the login screen. i did like the old designs but looking back on them, they felt too busy for a login screen imo, and granted bfa's feels... standard in a way that i don't appreciate, it felt more appropriate, same with this new one. simple but cool and gets the job done!
I don't like the style (pointy things in the middle etc), but the colour looks great.
Though it is an insignificant change to the login screen... it'll look more like a modern title than the 15 year old login screen. Come on blizzard I know you can do the small changes that'll make the game more appealing.
Whole WoW game use single, generic "Button" which is exactly same in entire game. The fact that there is only one button tells us that there is no mechanic in their UIEngine to customize it.Which means .. changing buttons would require implementation of whole new functionality to the game then updating all UIs to work with it, probably would break some addons which make use of buttons as well.It would be expansion release feature.. which does not sound exciting just to update look of in game buttons :D
I wish they would make the buttons green when you have your demon hunter selected. The other hero class, death knight, makes the buttons blue.
Looks good! I was surprised to see they went for different types of buttons for the character creation screen and was kind of hoping they'd replace more of the UI buttons. While they updated the resolution of the red buttons recently (with W3 reforged I believe), it still looks really outdated. The current font is kinda bad
