Fartein Valen
Designed by Drops Designkontor
It doesn’t take much to dress up an email. Fartein Valen’s designer, Drops Designkontor, followed the ‘less is more’ motto and added small touches like patterned background images and rounded corners. I especially like how they cut the corner off the main image to match the angular logo. They also gave more than average leading to provide better breathing room for the text and left just enough white space around the edges to keep it from feeling cramped.
My only suggestion would be to swap out the URL in the link text at the bottom with something like ‘Visit our site’ to avoid phishing scares for their readers.

@brend0 @pixelninjad yeah, good point - there’s the newsletter archive, but it isn’t really customisable. Added a vote for a RSS feed :) ^RH
