So you can only imagine how excited we were when we discovered a ton of gorgeous Splash pages dedicated to the biggest blockbuster hit of the year.
Not surprisingly, tech companies are at the forefront of this Star Wars event trend, hosting everything from company-wide private screenings of The Force Awakens, to movie night series featuring every single Star Wars movie ever made. (In fact, International Business Times officially declared Star Wars tech events a trend this morning. So, yes, it's a thing.)
Without further ado, here are our favorite event pages from across the Splash galaxy:
For the past two weeks, ad-tech company AdParlor has hosted a series of The Force Awakens screenings for employees and close friends & family. This Splash page, which was designed for their 200-person event in New York last week, was a beauty.
WHY WE LOVE IT: We love that they started with the ultramodern "SPEAK" event page template and added just enough personal touches to make it their own. We especially love the custom Mapbox and of course, the Yoda quote. Bravo, AdParlor team!
Utah-based IT engineering firm Red Sky Solutions partnered with Pure Storage, Palo Alto Networks and Zerto on their Force Awakens screening at a theater in Las Vegas.
WHY WE LOVE IT: High-five to their use of the video block to embed the movie trailer, and we love their galactic countdown block. Again, another terrific use of one of Splash's ready-made event page themes. (This one is the "BEDFORD" theme.)
To get Splash HQ psyched for the new Star Wars flick, our very own Guillermo de la Puente took over the Splash Fishbowl to host "Splash Wars," a weekly movie night series featuring Episode IV: A New Hope, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, and Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.
WHY WE LOVE IT: The best part of Guillermo's design? The speaker blocks and the typeface are consistent through the entire page. And as our designers say, he's mastered the "above the fold" intrigue. We like.
