You may have already seen the new cover design for Out Magazine, but we thought we’d post it, anyway. In an effort to boost sales, the fag-mag’s looking to rebrand itself as a more sophisticated, modern pub. Sure, they’ve cleaned it up and it’s a bit more adult, if you will, but it seems to us that they could have done something a little more eye-popping. It’s nice and all, but perhaps a bit lackluster. We can’t imagine looking down at all the stacks of magazines and having this one grab our attention.
But, who are we to talk about redesigns? And, of course, we all know that it’s what’s on the inside that counts. Judging from what we’ve heard about the next issue so far, the boys are keeping their editorial word.

mheh… I don’t read out anyway. I’ve considered a subscription to the Advocate, but I’m indifferent. Why bother with Out when there’s Queerty? Why bother with the Advocate when there’s Towleroad?

New logo looks so DNA.

Maybe they’ll start copying DNA in other aspects, and get Lewis Peyton to do photospreads of half-naked guys too; since they’ve pretty much abandoned the notion that OUT is supposed to be a magazine for both gays AND lesbians…
