The airliners.net homepage is changed.... I don't like it. Screw Demand Media turning it into one of their other sites..... Gagh!
P.s. if your ISP's cache hasn't updated yet, here is the new look:

They changed it for a brief period yesterday as well, it is definitely not an improvement from the current one. Its much harder to navigate, and is not eye pleasing whatsoever. From a designers point of view, this isn't such a smart move.
Wow there's the last nail in that coffin... Man it really looks bad..the fonts are terrible, hard to read, and cheap looking. It should be interesting to see the fire storm this causes, lol
that is disgusting. :oops:
I think it's much more cleaner and organized than the previous one....which was a big mess of everything on the page.
As we are rebuilding our own site here, I'd like to learn exactly what you like and dislike in detail.
Please, not what A.net did...Quote:

You're right. I think the previous site was messy, but people were used to it. I do think the new page is a bit cleaner, but it wasn't necessary. It doesn't look very professional either.Quote:

Facebook looks light years more professional then the new site does.
i think they did themselves in when they got rid of this:

maybe i'm too simple a person for my own good but i actually liked the original layout of the siteway back in the day. everything was on the first page and the site focussed on the pictures taken by photog around the world. yes they do that now as well, but it's gone far beyond just pictures. the front page of the site has been flooded with content that was never intended to be on the site in the first place. the site in an of itself contributes to the competition of the "spotter community." thier current "logo" only shows the favoratism that runs rampent throughout the site.
I don't hate it. But it's certainly not an improvement. And even if it is broke, don't fix it unless you can really fix it :P
Its really cheap looking, very unorganized, and too long
I hate it, plain and simple, not eye-pleasing and just cheezy. Even the a.net crew doesn't like it that much

I know Johan made out very well in the site's sale but still I would love to see the look on his face when he first saw the new front/home page. I'll bet Chris Kilroy loves it though, he must be estatic.
