When you venture to the redesigned MSNBC site, an aspect of the design may seem oddly familiar. So when you see that color-changing graphic in the upper left meant to represent the "fuller spectrum" of news -- a "Wider Angle," if you will -- please remember where you saw it first.
I'm not saying they stole the idea from my site with a relatively small (but wonderful!) readership. I'm sure they stole it from a much bigger one.
See also: the design I created for Avant Guardian, a Milwaukee production company, several years ago.
In addition: their new logotype is one of the few designs that doesn't look appropriate set in Gotham. MSNBC is allegedly a news business, thus it deserves a newsier face, unless they soon plan to open a chain of museums, nightclubs, and perfume manufacturers. (Gotham is my favorite typeface of the moment, so I get militant when I feel it's misused.)Labels: wider angle
