I think the new look website is very nice indeed! Much better now the pages are wider too.

Is the whole site going to get this new look, or just the homepage?

The other sections all have the old style at the moment.

Anyone think this would be better...

I agree that the stripped logo looks better but perhaps the boxed logo is only temporary to fit in with the current branding?

Impressed by the new look overall, very much looking forward to the on screen rebrand now.

Where's the imbedded video though! We were promised it, and so far it's not on a single page!

Would look better if the search bar was on the top right and a smaller BBC logo just before it.

Soon but not today.... Changing the site over isn't easy and will take time!

Might be worth reading this morning's Editor's Blog, explaining the implementation of new features.

Oh my god. What a mess.

It looks rubbish. WHY are the two headers not integrated? I've got a massive waste of spae at the top of the page and a stupid search box.

There is no link to the weather.

The fonts are too large and skinny, everything is too light and this "room to breathe" nonsense means it looks like they don't have enough text to fill anything.

Horrible. Absolutely horrible.

oh and notice the bullet points on here are a mess. I've noticed loads of rubbish bits of formatting around the site. I'd expect minor issues like this and bits of duff padding will be fixed over the next day or two but the main look is so poor I doubt it would matter.
