McDonald's is getting a new look! The article on the re-design is pretty amusing. Apparently they want to look like Starbucks. “A level has been set by Starbucks, which offers the experience of relaxed chairs and a clean environment.” Hmm… I didn't realize Starbucks was responsible for introducing us to relaxed and clean eating environments, but hey, it sounds like a good direction for McD's to go.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud at this comment though:

What will the new McDonald's look like? “Think iPod: clean lines, simplicity,” says Miologos [McD's VP of worldwide architecture, design, and construction].

Because we all know that iPods are a lot like fastfood restaurants. Maybe iPods are the new 3D to the design world. ;)
