No that just called bad design. Like picking a color scheme that ignore color-blindness, and add an accessibility note "just change your personal css".


 * The link color is too light and hard to read over light background due to lack of contrast.
 * The navbar blue against the new fandom blue is hideous.
 * Compared to the colorful fun bracket people the new logo is generic, boring and unmemorable (Fun fact google image people\community icons you'd find hundreds just like that)

There is nothing "Modern" about that, it just looks like washed out stock theme, an afterthought forced by the new Fandom logo color scheme.
