Curious if anyone knows where the mozilla.org layout design originated? The reason I ask is that it feels like I keep seeing the same design all over the place. Is it a default theme for a CMS, or released as an open-source template, or was it mozilla.org that came up with it and all the other site designers are lazy? For example:


/edit - aha, is this the default style of Drupal?

What's the design style/template/element you just can't seem to avoid?

Yes, that is, in a way, what I'm getting at. I really like the simplicity of the design when it appeared on mozilla.org, but I'm starting to get a little sick of it when it's appearing on more and more [drupal-powered] sites. Same goes for the K2/Kubrick themes for Wordpress.

It turns out that the original design was for mozilla.org, created by silverorange.

Not all CMS sites are bad, Joomla! is a pretty awesome CMS. Some very different looking sites that you wouldn't think were running the same CMS.

The above all run joomla! Pretty cool, huh! Much better than using PHPnuke!

Agreed. PHPNuke/BB still have their own flavor and you rarely see a site that implements either that won't still have the tell tale phpNuke/BB style. Joomla leans more to the webdesigners role because you can restructure the entire template, should you want to.
