By: E&P Staff The Chicago Tribune debuts its new look on narrower pages Monday, and change starts at the top: the blue banner-like nameplate that defined its front page for decades is gone.
In place of the white-lettered "Chicago Tribune" on the blue strip across the page, the paper's name will be in blue against a white background. "Chicago Tribune" will still be spelled out in Old English type, and the flag will continue to feature a literal flag, although the Stars and Stripes will be centered underneath the name.
"These changes, mindful of our tradition, is at the heart of our redesign: refreshing the appearance but holding fast to the historic strengths and high standards of Chicago 's leading source of news and information," the paper said in an unsigned note on the front page of its Sunday edition.
Like many broadsheets, the Tribune is also shaving another inch in page width starting Monday.
