Hmm, concerning the green on red that's an interesting point and
probably my fault.

I found the blue on red (possibly because of the small size and
non-boldness at the time) to be very difficult to read for my older eyes
and pushed for a change.

With regards to the overall design I think it is just fine.

Also, I think the copy (i.e., messaging) is much improved.
