Hi,
A bit of summarizing on what we've got so far:

+1 for A with a left-aligned title (keep the consistency with the left
alignerd forms)
Pretty much everyone agreed on left-aligned title.

dark enough color is not compatible with that orange flavour :) . I can do a
prototype but I think it will be a lot too much (since it's more than just a
sign, it's a full word orange).
how about H as is? (compatible with the link you gave me to
http://www.cxpartners.co.uk/thoughts/web_forms_design_guidelines_an_eyetrac…
guideline 5 where normal colors are used).
That would be prototype E.
WDYT?

Since Marius' vote for A was based on the fact that too much red is scary (and I
agree users fear errors), but a red-bordered field is useful to better associate
the error with the field, I'd go for a lighter red (compatible with the grey
labels). I'll do a prototype asap. WDYT?

+1 C1 because is a separation between the explanatory text and the error
text. Putting it below makes sense for me to have this separation. The red
color is ok.
I don't like the green of the labels for the mandatory fields. Too many
colors and means nothing for me that the fields are green.
B got 3 votes, A one, C one. B & C are quite similar (text above or below
the error). Having text at the top is better in the tree configuration and
it doesn't make that much of a difference for regular fields.
Thus I suggest we go for B.
Thanks,
Anca
We're short on time here, please cast your -1
quickly if you disagree with
this.
Thanks,
Guillaume
