Faux-redesigning Craigslist is like a right of passage for some designers. This time it’s officially sanctioned by a print publication, who put some top notch designers to the task. Of course, Khoi Vinh and team (Anh Dang + Paul Lau) just killed it, because they are part one of the best digital design teams in the industry (New York Times Digital). On the other side of the spectrum is Pentagram, who only mustered a gimmick, which is frustratingly appropriate in light of their web design pedigree.

I made a surprising discovery just now: there IS craigslist Australia. I have never heard anyone in this country even mention craigslist, and have always assumed it to be a US-only institution.
On topic: without actually being able to take them for a test-drive, I thought all of the redesign’s had merit, with one exception. No prizes for guessing which! Do Pentagram even make websites?
