The redesigned Tribune

The Chicago Tribune arrived on newsstands and doorsteps in its redesigned form on Monday morning. Most noticeable is the nameplate, which no longer features the signature blue background. Changes also include narrower pages, less dense columns, and unified section nameplates. In a change seemingly unrelated to the redesign, the Tribune is eliminating want-ads in weekday print editions.

To commemorate the redesign, the Trib provided a visual retrospective of its nameplate designs and typeface choices at chicagotribune.com.

I like the new design for its simplicity, though the nameplate feels taller than it needs to be. The Trib is soliciting comments on the new look, so chime in, if you’re so inclined.
