The Official LucasArts website has been updated with a classy new design. Not much to say except that it's... classy!

    i like the new design however i must say i miss the good ol' collage image they've always kept on top of their page...

    Very cool redesign IMHO! I'm glad they've gone through all the odd pages and made them look like they really belong to the same site. Some of the designs on the old site were lagging behind. The new categories are also much better than the old ones. Great job. As a funny detail, they've now emphasized on the correct use of the company name on the Logo page - previously even they themselves used "Lucasarts" or something similar incorrect form. Oh, and they spelled Mac "Mactintosh" on the Products page. ;)

    It's not like anyone wants to read that part of the section anyway :)

    *checks site* It's been redesigned? :P

    Agreed, it's not bad looking from a technical standpoint, but it doesn't really capture what LEC is all about.

    I like it, myself. Although it doesn't quite capture the fun and imagination of their goofy graphic adventures, it looks cool and professional.

    yeah does look a bit slick, a bit corporate ... imperial even :)

    Thats perhaps a little harsh. its a fine redesign. Glad to see they finally pulled yodas help desk and the company store out of the swamp of 1995-esque web design. A couple pages aren't coming up properly on my Mac but I guess I'll forgive them for that :) ps thanks for the compliment on the mojo design, kj :)

    Its not their fault that the pages arent working on your Mac. Its the Macs fault. And do you know why? Cause its a Mac

    I have never seen anything more crappy than that... Mixnmojo four years ago looked better...

    You've got problems, man.

    Thank you! I have no idea why you people keep defending LEC? Yes I exaggerated, but still there is no banner! The previous banner was better than this one, it featured a cool collage of characters--the new one just fills up the top 300 pixels of the site with a streched piece of nothing and a lucas guy. I'm blind and I use slightly bigger fonts than norma, and the change in size streched the whole design... and that is an easily remediable design glitch...

    Surely mojo looks arse in large fonts too?

    Only the links next to the GSN headder, but nothing else.
