The TechCrunch Redesign: A Copy-And-Paste Hatemail Template

It is an absolute, hard-and-fast law that whenever a high profile site undergoes a significant redesign, the reaction from regular readers will be one of outrage. Not puzzlement, not measured criticism, but full-on outrage -- as if they'd woken up to discover that someone had crept in and rearranged the features of their wife's face. And so it was with some trepidation that I visited TechCrunch a few minutes ago and found that our much-vaunted redesign had "gone live", complete with gigantic headline fonts, weird underlapping images and -- oh God -- a new logo. A new logo that, to my artistically untrained eye, looks like it was drawn with the sharpened tip of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
