I hope to god Yahoo consciously decided to eschew the current trends of flat, minimal, content first design that is perpetuating through the industry. Windows Phone, iOS 7, and plenty of other leading UI designs are shedding the bloat and focusing on content first. If they didn't do it on purpose, it means they are still the old Yahoo. If they did, maybe they know something about their target demographic that I don't...

I for one thought they did "content-first" right. Looking at the new sports.yahoo.com, a lot of information can be obtained without scrolling down the screen, and much of the visual clutter is localised by with background blurring.

I'll take this over the "huge text" startup-style any day.

You don't think the new Yahoo designs are following the flat trend?

They almost make it, but fail on spectacularly on color and backgrounds. The sports.yahoo.com would do much better with a clean background, I find the striped outfield to completely negate the rest of the improvements.
