Bye-Bye Yellow

Didn't want to let this landmark occasion pass without acknowledging the overhaul and redesign of Eye Weekly. While I like the new look - and spiffy new web site - I'm sad to see the iconic yellow rectangle go. The grey is nice. But it's no yellow rectangle.

I'm still making my way through all the pictures, but one of these streetcar rides I'm bound to get to an article or two. Glad to see Spacing's Dale Duncan now one of the six full time staffers.

And have you noticed how Torstar (owner of Eye, Toronto.com, Harlequin romance novels and a bunch of other academic, high-brow must-reads) is on a bit of a kick to reinvent its properties? Can't blame 'em when you see the sagging performance of its core holding, the Toronto Star.
