Oh not, not Bradbury Thompson again. Lingusitically speaking, his “alphabet redesign” is rediculous. There are numerous reasons why it did not and will never catch on. Ever. If you really want to know why, I will have to write an essay about it.
Other than that, you have to know that Thompson was an artist, and there is a certain aesthetic appeal about rediclous looking things… take the Gugenheim museum, or any work by Picasso, for instance.
Knowing Hesam, I guess that the clever name and colour scheme are what prompted you to post this link. If you were, indeed, trying to post a useful link about clever alphabet concepts, might I suggest you check out Omniglot’s pages about alternative and your writing systems.
