Waooo: Mario!! this is wonderful design!! the orange is really powerful color, I think is the first berliner in India, waoo, congratulations, look Mr. Black, this is Design!!!
with this paper I sell a lot of ads!! this is good for business!!!
beautiful, I have to get the print paper!!

OK, nobody else should use an exclamation point on this site again for -- whaddaya think, Mr. Newsdesigner, a couple of weeks at least?

I like exclamation point, when something is amazing...

Is anyone else hit straight away by the confusion of the "mint" branding, on an "orange" reverse? With an orange-like dot on the "i"? But then again, maybe it is deliberate move away from using a likely shade of green for the title.

Either way, I am a big fan of Mr Garcia, naturally, but I feel this design is one of the more average efforts.

Honestly speaking i think its ok, I would rate his gaurdian design as his best work, im sure he feels the same.

Yeah, I also like it - the design is fresh and contemporary, but far from outstanding or innovative. btw, on the web site (http://livemint.com/Home.aspx), you can download the front page in pdf. It looks somehow different from the prototypes shown here.

yeah! is right, but remember in newspapers depends of the news, always not is only the look, in this case the news are more important...every day is different even prototype...any paper.

The use of orange is curious... I mean Mario surely did his homework before hand and knows that in religiously sectarian India, orange = hindu and green signifies islam?

It looks like Details fonts on Metro Boston (with a Baltimore Sun skybox/rail thingie). Don't know why Garcia thinks it's so poignant to ramble about his designs and typography to the readers of whatever publication he lays his hands on. No one but a few journalists really cares, and if it needs explaining, then it's not intuitive.

Baltimore Sun??, what this guy talking, is totally different, you need to learn about newspaper business, this is business this represent MONEY!!! and Garcia do MONEY, and the publisher are happy and readership too, the newspaper look wonderful, nobody try to find "details", they find results, money, business, revenues..period. learn...

Ben, The Guardian was redesigned by the paper's art director, Mark Porter. His design won major global awards including the BLACK PENCIL.
