I’m surprised to see that this hasn’t been mentioned anywhere yet
I came home last night and spun up Monzo’s blog to see what we’ve been saying and it looks like we’ve rolled out a delightful new design for it
It feels so much more inviting and the images really help brighten the page up
Compare that to wayback machine’s copy from a month ago… That’s a pretty stark difference!
What do you think about the blog?

I think the reason it’s not been raised, is that most forum members go directly to one post.

Looks nice enough, but still no direct way to subscribe to new stories (i.e. get them by email)
I get them via IFTTT, but that loses a lot of formatting and images, plus would not be very obvious for new joiners

You know what… I went on this page earlier today and it didn’t even cross my mind that it was new! I’m normally good at spotting these things.
I agree a lot better! Fresh, clean and inviting.

I saw that we were experimenting with the new design internally so I sort of knew what to expect… But I did do a double take when I saw it on my home PC and couldn’t help but share it

The font used as the main header - ‘Monzo Blog’ - text seems out of place for some reason (to my eye) - too tall?, too thin?
The rest of the redesign looks great.

Just realised what it is that looks out of place - the use of upper-case letters in the header text, as in ‘M’ and ‘B’
Change to lower-case, beef it all up a bit (bold) and it’ll match with the logo in the top-left.
