BBC screws with news
Monday, March 31, 2008
Today saw the launch of a new design for one of the most popular websites on the planet, BBC News. Does anyone else think that the BBC have been a tad ham-fisted with their new web branding? I hope I'm not alone in finding it a little blunt.



Two BBC logos? That appear to be slapped on with no thought for each other? The overall grid seems a tad amateurish compared to what went before, and the right hand bar of links is oddly arranged. Worse, on an iPhone / iPod touch the design falls down, when it was once perfect - they've not even set the viewport correctly. I'm hoping it is just teething troubles.
