Time for a make-over?
This only makes sense if you read the article.
.net Magazine, the world’s best-selling magazine for web designers and developers, has devoted two pages of the Summer 2011 issue (which went on sale today) to a make-over of LabourStart. The makeover was done by one of the UK’s top design firms – twentysixdigital. (Their clients include the Royal Marines and the manufacturers of Durex condoms. Don’t ask.)
Unfortunately, at the moment, the article is not available for free online – though I’ve written to the editor asking him to make it available.
If that happens, I’ll share the URL with our English language mailing list and we can use their comments facility to have a discussion. The only thing available online right now is a JPG image of the page – but without the explanation in the article, it doesn’t make much sense.
If you’re dying to read it, buy a copy of .net Magazine in a shop or online. (The digital version costs £4.16; the UK the print version costs £5.99.)

^^ ++This!
Did you suggest it to them? Top initiative that man! I reckon this could be an excellent step toward being taken as seriously as you deserve to be by activists with less connection to the labour movement who’ve never heard of you before but just chance across you. You only get a few seconds to create an impression with some people, so this could help a few more stick regularly with you. Will check out the mag.
I like the “makeover.” I don’t like the AFL-CIO-like handshake logo, though.
Do they give to us when they next issue goes on sale?
How are the articles fed to the page?
I paid for the issue, am pretty impressed….
I remain attached to the logo/motto. But am having a lot of fun playing with this…
Does this mean we will have to refer to each other as “dude”?
