Before changing buttons and colors, it may be worthwhile for Avid marketing and it's agency of record to figure out what the Avid brand IS, and what is it's message to the user base, current and future. Thats where you create the connection and loyalty. Then you can change the buttons....

Each product has its own identity and user experience and that's up to the individual product teams to define. Avid made a commitment to unify its brand a few years back (ie- Pinnacle Studio is now Avid Studio). UI came along for the ride. It's about brand and brand awareness. Most large companies have a unified way for their UI. It's an important element so customers identify with Avid products through a visual and hopefully emotional connection.

All design concepts are not good design concepts, and often they're not even design concepts, but initiated from foreign considerations like engineering constraints, or economics, or 'taste'.
