Was there a change to the layout recently (as in, 5 minutes ago)?

All of a sudden, the trending bar now extends well past where the adspace on the upper right corner normally is (I run an adblocker, but I'm pretty sure the trending bar cuts short on that portion of the page).

I can see a lot more things now. What happened?

I think they got rid of the weird whitespace that was added for two weeks, which I like. Also the font has changed for the home/memes/images/ect. But yeah it changed for me also.

Why don't the researched entries appear on the front page? Sure, they're there in the forums, but on the front page it's not there.


I can't tell if I did the thing where adblock fucks up my page, or if this is naturally occurring. But yes, the new bar seems so… skinny. #BringBackBold

Tbh, I like the new layout up there. I think it looks much nicer. I'm having to adapt to the different spots for things like image/video/forums, but otherwise I like it.

So I normally save my complaints for legit stuff that has an effect on the ways user use the site, but I do miss the (what I assume was ) Caecilia typeface for Home, Memes, etc. that matched the letter of KnowYourMeme. I guess it might just be that I'm so used to the way it used to look, but it feels odd now. Though, I guess it is easier to read for some, seeing as it's now a Sans-Serif font.

The episodes have been long long long dead, and because of that we've been asking for a reorganisation of that bar for a while already. In the current days, this new order makes MUCH more sense.

The unbolded takes some getting used to, sure, but I'm no nostalgiafag; so I'm not going to make an issue out of that.

It's a thing of the current day and age of professional looks to make text less bold and round, and instead simple and edged.

KYM is just going with the times.

I swear that if the glorious KYM changes its logo to some generic, un-bolded text, i'm out.

My anger with simplified logos started all the way back to the PEPSI logo from 2008:

Now we see almost every other company simplifying their name, and it's getting on my nerves.

Simplifying is a thing of today, and it works. Looks clean, looks neat, looks 2010's.

Imagine if those companies changed their logos the other way around. They'd be the biggest jokes of the industry. Case in point: Microsoft's 1975 logo.

Simplify, don't become a nostalgiafag.

Simplicity is good, but I think designers take it far to the extreme these days. I agree that the 1975 Microsoft logo looks ridiculous, but the latest one looks just plain lazy. If it isn't broken, don't fix it. I think this guy said it best:

They will look to the 2010s in the future and mock the ultra-lazy and super-simplistic flat designs of it, it will be the laughing stock of the century. Windows, iOS, this, etc.

It reeks of sponsored content, but your guess is as good as mine.

Adblock won't save you now.
