Nice WordPress-templates

Over the past years I have been studying the most effective visual identity on the Web.

In my opinion a effective visual identity should be based on a theme that are:

1. A minimalist. Output is a clean and economic. No distracting elements and other nonsense-functions.
2. It is fully open-source.
3. Good quality (respect for standards. So it should produce valid (X)HTML and CSS. This kind of theme is also easy to maintain). This is a key factor for maximum interoperability with browsers.
4. It offers advanced functionality (supporting widgets and printing).

In short – Less is more.

Some good examples are that have been caugh my attention. There are good starting points to your color and typography modifications.
