Content has been shared between the *Tages-Anzeiger* and *Der Bund* since May of this year. A joint editorial office covering the Federal Parliament has been operational at the *Tages-Anzeiger* and *Der Bund* since early September. Starting October 15, the collaboration will be further intensified: the two newspapers will adopt a uniform layout.
The layout was designed by Zurich-based designers Tom Menzi and Daniel Stähli—in collaboration with *Der Bund* layout artist Anita Pascarella and Barbara Birchler from the Espace IT department. «It became clear early on in the planning process that such a symbiosis would only be viable if the two papers had a consistent layout,» writes Der Bund online. The Tamedia Board of Directors issued the following directive for the layout: The layouts of the two newspapers should be as similar as necessary and as different as possible.
The Tagi will hit the market with a new look early next week, and the Bund on October 15. Both will use the same «Publico» typeface family. In addition, the Bund will once again be published in a five-column layout. Furthermore, the designers and graphic artists have incorporated a number of unique elements that are specific to one newspaper or the other, according to Derbund.ch. A “Bund-blue” line will run through the entire paper and expand into a bar of the same color on single-topic pages.
