Pitchfork Redesigns

9 March 2009

Obviously nicer then their previous old-school design, but it’s all a little generic, isn’t it? Take away the logo and you’d have no clue that it’s Pitchfork – it looks like a slightly inferior Drowned In Sound.

Also, they’ve taken the nicely designed pitchfork.tv and genericised that too, taking their embeded video player – which was my favourite embeded video player, due to its simplicity (yes, I have favourite embeded video players…) – and ruining it in the process (it even autoplays if you embed it!). Oh well…
