frustration about captcha design
Permalink
Why is it, that the default captcha image is so but-ugly that it doesn't fit in any web-design? And besides this is very hard to read too?
Normally uglyness is in favour of functionality in designer-land.
But in this captcha case i can't find a reason for the weird choice of colors and fonts.
I'm a little bit frustrated with this thing. As a designer i want my sites to be good functioning. But also good looking!
I have seen stylish blue captcha's passing by in concrete sites. Like the one in the attachment. I can't find any posts on these forums about how to do this. It can't be i'm the only one wanting a better looking (and better reading!) captcha.
Someone out there who can help me get rid of this frustration?

There's a free addon that lets you use different captcha's for the "guestbook" block (comments):

Although it doesn't address the "form" block or registration page. But I believe if you search the forums there may be some solutions for this out there (maybe).

Yes, i know the advanced comments block, but i need a solution for a form block. I've done searching the forum, but only found a solution to style captcha by diving in some library files. I tried, but i'm not technical enough to get it working.
Still hoping someone knows where those blue captcha's come from.

I would prefer to use reCAPTCHA (http://www.google.com/recaptcha).
It has a nice visual style and blends pretty well to any website.
And it also provides accessibility.
