Yahoo's new design can be seen here: http://m.www.yahoo.com/

Did Yahoo permanently change it's logo to Purple?

It is like an AOL that is feeling Googley |
It's basically the same with a few colours. I'm willing to bet that most people won't notice it other than the new logo... |
Badass Google logo. They should do it as a doodle for Yahoo's birthday :D |
And the URL http://www.yahoo.com/r/ch works too, redirecting to address ending /trynew |
But http://de.yahoo.com/ has more content that others have. |
