Facebook rolling out new page layout

Apologies if this has already been posted.
Good to know the timeline cover isn't being obstructed now by the profile picture and page title.

This will probably never happen, but how insightful would it be to have the designer at the helm of this redesign write a post about the design constraints they had to work with on this project? I would love that.
Facebook Design is actually one of the few that post a many Medium articles detailing their design decisions for new designs, so it's entirely possible that they will.
That looks ..... so bad :)))
DN comments like Dribbble comments in reverse
If DN had a category for showerthoughts, this would be a good post
Nice comment!
Good colors!
I'm not a fan of this layout either.
My thought is that the timeline is the part of Facebook that matters most. Right? This never-ending obsession with massive hero images above the fold is such an odd practice, and requires the user to scroll past the hero area (eyes and mouse) until they see the feed that matters to them.
I feel like the 'hero' area would be a good place for page owners to place 'pinned' posts that could perhaps utilize the larger space for media that corresponds to that post (collage gallery, text, video, etc), and they could even offer flexibility to include event details that correspond to the pinned post (if relevant), etc. etc.
Of course all of these thoughts are based on the assumption that this is really a redesigned Pages layout.
I feel an unsolicited redesign urge coming on...
Looks the same to me, haven't had an account in years though.
Would be interested in hearing from FB designers what it's like to work on something like this, without using the phrase "millions of people"
Nice, thanks for sharing
I can't see this, I guess it only shows to certain users? Are you an admin for that page @Dan Wilkinson?
Not an admin, but I asked someone in my office to try on their machine. They couldn't see it either, could be A/B testing I guess.
