The long-rumored redesign is officially a reality.

Today, The Sun reached an agreement with Lucie Lacava of Lacava Design Inc. to consult with the newspaper on a redesign.

Some of her award-winning designs in the U.S. include the Kansas City Star, Chicago Tribune, The Hill (covering Capitol Hill) and Investor's Business Daily. Internationally, she has created high-impact designs for The National Post, Le Devoir, La Presse and Toronto Star in Canada, El Espectador in Colombia, El Pais in Spain, and the Leicester Mercury in the United Kingdom. Since her firm opened in 1992, her newspapers have been awarded "World's Best Design" 10 times by the Society for News Design, and she has won more than 100 national and international awards.

In a book published just this spring, "Contemporary Newspaper Design," Lacava was touted as one of a few newspaper architects who are leading a new wave of newspaper design, and who "are transforming newspapers with elegant, custom typefaces and a variety of presentation techniques."

It's a once-in-a-decade opportunity for The Sun to revitalize and enrich its personality without sacrificing its identity, its sophistication or its credibility, and to continue its legacy as one of the great American newspapers.

The redesign launch is aimed for fall of 2005.

That's great. I really loved her redesign of La Presse; it was really breathtaking and captured a lot of flavor. It made a lot of U.S. papers look antiquated in comparison.
