Please restore the original masthead so I can recognize the Chicago Trib again.

The redesign of the last page of the comic section is worthless. The crossword puzzle did not have to be enlarged. Why discontinue the advice column on that page, it wasn’t that bad. She’s no Ann Landers, but so what. The whole thing was a lot of sound and fury about nothing.

I find the small print used on the weather page, the sport pages very difficult to read. For a senion citizen small print, even with glasses is difficult. Some of the changes look good but the complaint is the print is too small. and I am afraid it will get smaller when the paper is done-sized. Please bring back the full stock market transaction. Not everybody gets the WSJ

Have to say all of the changes you’ve made to the tribune are really good. Good looking and GOOD for the readers. Great JOB.

BUT – The reason i will not subscribe to the tribune is because YOU CAN’T GET THE PAPER TO THE CUSTOMERS AT A CONSISTANT OR DECENT TIME. The trucks that bring the Main Sheets to the distribution points show up between 2:00am and 5:00am. Most of the time around 4:00am. The Daily Herald is always on my driveway around 3:00am. Long before the tribune even arrives to thier carriers. Your paper is so late getting out to the schaumberg customers that it should have ONE MORE CHANGE. A new MOTTO. “THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE – WE GUARNTEE DELIVERY EVERYDAY BY “SUNDOWN”

GREAT PAPER – LOUSY DELIVERY TIMES.

I do NOT care for the new design. Suddenly I cannot easily spot the familiar blue banner amongest the sea of bland newspapers on my retailers shelves.

I have what I believe is a very good suggestion for a slight change in the redesign of the Tribune. Anyone that works the Sudoku feels better about working one with enough space to write in the various number possibilities clearly. If the boxes are too small, it can become very confusing and frustrating because it is too easy to make mistakes. Sudoku solvers must at times write in four, five, or even six numbers in a small block. The Jumble does not have to be made very big since solving this puzzle does not require writing possible letters in the blocks. My suggestion is to switch places between the two. Give the Sudoku the space now reserved for the Jumble and vice versa.

Undistinguished nameplate. Subordinates the brand. Cheesy.

I am not impressed with your front page.Looks to plan for a major news paper.It looks like the tribune of 100 years ago.Also the metro weather section is harder to read with the smaller print asis some sections of the tempo.

At least they didn’t say, “Chicago Tribune – Now on the Interwebs!”
