Bloomberg.com
What’s going on at Bloomberg.com? They have a completely new design that breaks a few very long held design conventions. I like it.

We’re fans of the food at Pei Wei and noticed that they had launched a brand new web site. We think it’s really nice.

A very simple web site done right. Clean lines, nice colors, and good all around design.

Budweiser has an interesting visual layout for their ‘age-check’ screen. I’ve never seen anything like this before, so wanted to share it.

Champion has an interesting web site and probably one of the most recognizable logos in the sports-wear line of companies.
Macy’s
You have to give some credit to the PR folks at Macy’s. They’ve been able to push a Thanksgiving parade with their name on it for years and years (all of my life anyways). They also are the featured department store in Miracle on 34th Street. That’s no small win. I liked the Macy’s site,…

I hate it.
I love it.
With so many financial news options available on the web, I can see the desire to want to differentiate from each other. I give management credit for doing something to break out the trend and I can see using color as a brand, but I think the orange on black is just too damned hard to read. I think if I were them I would have given users, who are likely more often than not repeat visitors, the option of a second color palette/skin to choose from.
yeah, not liking this one….
Very interesting!!
I agree with Aaron, too much visual tension for me to read financial data on a black background. Interesting they should do this in the wake of this article on their terminal redesign.

Hate the orange on black.
Total yuck
Wow I can’t believe they went with black, I think that’s pretty exciting!
I can honestly say, this is a visual mess. it does look like Halloween. Maybe they should consider selling pumpkins on it along with showing financial data.
I must admit, a website with 187 validation errors really makes me proud to be web designer..
It is refreshingly obvious how few of your readers are involved in finance. Anyone that has ever used a Bloomberg application will immediately recognize the light-font-on-black-screen theme from their ubiquitous terminal screens. Cute analysis though.
