Old design is back, even if only temporarily. Stephen, it
does make a huge improvement on the overal visibility and aesthetic of the site.
What if you tried keeping the general layout of the top portion the same, maybe just making it slightly more refined (boxes / outlines / color choices) and then update the left-column menu (news archives, resources, etc.) with the newer design/graphics. If they have to be the same size, at least balance the Blue's News and UGO logos by having the on opposing sides of the page.
Toss up a page like that and then make some fine-tuning adjustments to it, but no other real or major changes.
Edit: Another thing, where is this design change coming from? Is this something that you really, really like or is this something UGO is mandating and/or really pushing for? Like Matthew, I visited UGO's site and tried to find a link to your site. I am not saying they do not have one, but it is not readily accessible.
Tossing in another penny of thought ;),
