Comment (by celloexpressions):

 It seems odd that we don't mention the name of our new default theme.
 "Twenty Fourteen: A Sleek New Magazine Theme"?

 We should keep in mind that for a lot of users, this page will be the
 first time they see the new admin design. If they don't know about MP6/the
 new design, it might be a jarring experience (think about the first time
 you saw MP6). We should ensure that we ease users into it by removing all
 recollections of the old design.

 In that vein, we should drop or change the browser chrome on the first
 image (and maybe remove the iPhone, we have plenty of other responsive
 device pics below). OSX's window styling represents everything we moved
 away from in the new design: low-contrast/gray, gradient, glassy buttons,
 nibbled corners, and the big shadow on the whole thing. If we really want
 to show a browser window, Windows 8 fits a lot better, but showing it
 framelessly would be best, so that all of the visuals are consistent with
 the new admin design right at the start.

 Also, I know they're still in-progress, but we should make sure that all
 of the screenshots are consistent in either showing or hiding the browser
 UI chrome. Currently they're mixed-and-matched.
