[wp-design] Login Version 18

Now we're talking :)

The light blue color at the top is an ambivalence though. I kinda like the
way it looks right now; it gives an indication of depth/3D. But if we're
going to use it here, I do think it's something we should consider adapting
throughout.

I'd like to just adjust the shadow ever so slightly. I'll look into that
tonight during the keynote.
