I happened to read an article on BBC News this morning, and then clicked through to an older, related article. The older article was published around eighteen months ago, before the BBC revamped their page design - and the contrast is huge. It's funny; when the old design was the current one I was a big fan of it, but having got used to the new one the old looks fussy, busy and hard to read.

Here's the new design and the old one.

 

Granted, it's not quite a fair comparison, because the new layout was designed for today's larger screens. But it just struck me that the new design is (IMHO) just plain, damn, good, and whoever is behind it's done a good job.
