The trending feed they have on their homepage is just bizarre -- it scrolls at 2x or 3x the speed of the main body. Half of me is not a fan, but the other half thinks it fits in with the design of the rest of the page (notwithstanding the question of whether /that/ is good).

I like Bloomberg's redesign. It's bizarre but fun. Moreover, Bloomberg is a media company (well, at least the magazine). They have much more license to be insane. Dropbox is a productivity company and the redesign seems...unwanted? What corporate executive is looking at his Dropbox and thinking that you know, this needs some Sharp Grotesk

  Yeah -- I... well, I'll stick with the bubbly bootstrap 5-second template look please, if this is what's going to be popular next. It's genuinely and actively hard to look at.

  I agree, I've really enjoyed the Bloomberg redesign.

Bloomberg's design rules.

What I like about Bloomberg's design team is that they try to navigate a fine line between being serious and playful. It's not easy because you could easily find yourself being too safe, where the playfulness ends up being too corporate and forced. I remember going to the Bloomberg Design Conference a few years back, where they opened with an intro movie featuring their design team satirizing the design process by critiquing a white sheet of paper, eventually settling on a rotated version.
