Cornellgasm Continues Apace: The <em>Sun</em>'s New Look Bombs

The Cornell Daily Sun greeted students back to campus yesterday with an overhaul of cornelldailysun.com. Now the reviews are in, and they are … less than raves. This calls for bullet points, lots of bullet points:

  • “awful”
  • “It doesn’t feel like a newspaper”
  • “all [the other Ivy dailies] were more professional looking”
  • “simply terrible”
  • “completely user unfriendly”
  • “major step backwards”
  • “Not looking too good”
  • “Please head over to the COMM department and let them markup what is wrong with the site” [Ed.: Ouch! Our favorite.]
  • “my high school paper’s web site looks more professional” [Ed.: Spoke too soon!]
  • “it’s lacking!” 

To be fair, there was a lone dissent.

  • “I like it. A lot. Sorry.”

We’re not quite sure where that leaves the Sun — the current site is actually a redesign of a redesign. The temporary summer site’s logo displeased one commenter, who wrote that the historic nameplate had been “pushed into a slanted murky background … like some thought that can no longer be recognized as either a dream or a true recollection.” Damn, where can we get some of this dude’s moonshine?
