Information Design was our founding mantra, and sometimes you have to get back to your roots. In our 2004 update for Mikasa Sports, we revisited the goals for the site and determined that it was time to split out catalog and commerce into two sites: Mikasa Sports and Mikasa Sports Outlet. Sure, the look is new and modern, but the underlying flow is greatly enhanced too.
