'Sneaky preview of the new MSE masthead –what do you think of m'pic?' blog discussion

If a full frontal is used maybe something that television viewers would recognize.

There's something odd going on with the shirt. Could you actually fasten the top button, because the shirt looks too small for you and is straining across the top of th arms and shoulders. It also looks unironed, and are those double cuffs not properly turned up? As others have posted, it's a curious colour.
Time for a Westfield shopping trip methinks

Are we losing the direct link to all the student information that's on the tab just along from the one for the forum then?

Seems a little odd to be removing that when the current big push is to increase financial education for kids and improve awareness of the changes to student finance.

EDIT: Forget that. I had a cached copy of the page that updated with the "new new" masthead after I posted.

Along with most people, not keen on the shirt! That, combined with the arms-folded, stern faced stance makes you seem unapproachable - and we all know you're a lovely cuddly lad! :money:

More face, less body, darker shirt and .................. a smile.

The front page now has the new header but it is also stretching the page and it is bigger than my screen, is this happening for everyone?

Not me. It's fine on my screen.

Wow it's fantastic now that we see the whole page, thanks. I'm not a fan of dim gray on it's own and generally the gray background but is definitely kind to the eye. Also still think the gray on the header is far too wide.

no glitches to report

I really liked it that you highlight MoneySavingExpert.com in it's original font, format and crimson red color. One little poin though - the tools blend into the background.



It needs to be made distinctive, imo, and in a way that compliments the rest of the mse rainbow coloured format.

I've not read this whole thread, so apologies if I go over anything already said ...

To be honest, I rarely look at the masthead, so if Martin is crossing his arms, stroking his chin, or has his hands below the Card Loans link with a distant look in his eyes :rotfl: - I really don't care.

What I DO care about is the bloat that surrounds the forum. There is a LOT of stuff that loads, on EVERY page load. I'm sure this could be far more efficient and less data-intensive. It is especially annoying when trying to peruse the forum on a mobile device (e.g. iPod). Will the new scheme improve this?

Gotta be honest....

...IT SUCKS !!!!!!!!!

the current one is friendly and welcoming, but in an efficient, business-like way. A tweak here and there ok, but not to this

Not the sharp-brained guy I saw on TV who had to tell a couple of politicos that one was talking about income and the other was talking about earnings.

Masthead? Fine, who cares. It is the content that matters.
