Quote We’ve also evolved our ratings to make them more intuitive. We’ve moved away from red and black circles to a more universally understood scale where green is excellent and red is poor. The numerical values paired with the up and down arrows easily allow you to see differences among products, even at the model level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Predictable cover change, but I think it's a solid upgrade. The ratings system is miles better; I always had trouble deciphering the old one if I happened to look at an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001mark Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Meh. I think that refresh finally aligns with the vision they were already heading for. Probably a trait of never really evolving, delivering such a dramatic change all at once. @2001mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll take some time to get used to, but I think in a vacuum it's an upgrade. "Iconic" is right. But with their new system, the old red circle would now signify a bad product, hence getting rid red "o" in their "Consumer Reports" cover and turning it into just CR.

Radiohead Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 The old cover looked like a Consumer Reports that consumers would read. The new one looks like consumer reports for industry wonks. Not something that will stand out on newsstands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
