The Manchester Evening News has today introduced a colour-coded new look for its print edition.
The new MEN
The Trinity Mirror-owned title has brought in a bigger masthead and a “bolder, brighter look” for its front page.
The changes also include new typefaces and a “simpler layout”, and a new colour-coding system to denote different sections of the paper.
Introducing the new design, the paper said: “If you’re looking for news, look for red, showbiz, entertainment and other features are purple, business news is blue, and sport is green.
“We’ve even colour-coded our City and United coverage with the clubs’ blue or red, so you’ll always know when you’re on the right page.
The old-style MEN
“We hope you like the changes and we look forward to continuing to be your friend dropping in, now and into the future.”
The redesign comes a year after the MEN introduced a new look for its website.
The paper’s announcement includes a gallery of images showing staff at work at its Oldham-based HQ.
