What is surprising (and scary) to me is that corporates such as Yahoo who have lots of money and great talent can only end up with seriously mediocre at best re-designs?<p>At first reading the user complaints, I just thought "Bah, they would get used to it" (without actually visiting the page first). And then I visited <a href="https://my.yahoo.com" rel="nofollow">https://my.yahoo.com</a>, I totally agree with those complaints. as a fellow designer, some points I've noticed:<p>#Poor selection of font sizes<p>#Poor selection of colors (especially for background)<p>#Poor application of borders (remember, in design, borders portray complexity (in this case, unwanted).<p>#Inconsistent design themes (Search button has borders and gradients and shadows, the rest do not)<p><a href="http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/9383/hhew.png" rel="nofollow">http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/9383/hhew.png</a><p>It seems to me that the design they had in mind was something iOS7-ish (which is actually good due to the minimal information it shows the user at any point) , but ultimately they ended up with something else more complex, confusing and awful.<p>Either way I wish Yahoo good luck and wouldn't dare to judge an entire company based on this design alone.
