Wow great site! Some really helpful information there.
I’m sorry for little off-topic, but I want to ask you about design of this site.
Did you make this template yourself or got from any templates website?
Looks pretty cool for me. Wonderful well this reading.

@Joe: No, I can't say that there was any substantive shift in the actual content that I'm aware of. Sections of the magazine were physically reorganized to make better navigational sense. For example, columnists are now grouped together instead if being split to the front and back of the book.

The new format sucks. I’ve been subscribing to businessweek for 10 years now. I always loved the magazine for its straightforward content and analysis. I can’t put my finger on what it is – did businessweek coincidentally shift their content focus with this design? Or does the new design limit the content? Either way I do not like the new mag and am now a reader of its website.

I think it’s overall a better logo, Looks less cluttered – however the original design had a timeless quality to it – the new one has a contemporary feel – however the magazine seems more contemporary, not an old school business magazine – so it makes sense to update the logo accordingly. Feels cleaner yes.

@David: What in particular are you fighting with? Typography? Layout? Colors? Some interaction of all three? Can you site a specific page that you find particularly difficult to deal with? While sending a "nastygram" might make you feel better for a moment, it isn't constructive because it doesn't tell us anything beyond simple distaste.

Count me as one who immensely hates the new “design”.I had to fight with me “eye” to read the new format.I sent a nastygram to the editor-in-chief and cancelled my subscription.
