Overall, I love the new nav that's currently being tested.

The organization makes more sense to me, and it's got a nice, updated look. My one suggestion:

Consider more contrast/visual signals for the text, containers, and glyphs. Aesthetically, I love the subtle, clean look. But my aging eyes have trouble finding the various boxes, and have to work a bit to read the text, and make out what each icon is. It's not that I can't read em, but it takes some real focus.

I think this issue is a lot more common for folks like me who are... past their thirties, shall we say?

Undo I dont think so - it looks to be something that just randomly comes up for anon users? – JonH 1 hour ago
    
Another request - make it easier to log out...Most places have the log out on the top right - SE goes against this and tucks it away on the top left menu? WTF. – JonH 1 hour ago
    
@Shog9 - I hope you're kidding I know you guys want to avoid people asking questions but its just plain old wrong for the wrong reasons. – JonH 1 hour ago
    
Go look at the screenshots in the linked post, @jon - may not work, but... Getting folks to read more before asking ain't a bad goal. – Shog9♦ 1 hour ago
    
@JonH making it easier to log out is something we're going to fix in phase 2. – Kurtis Beavers 54 mins ago
