   2 or 3 for me. Hard to tell though without context of the site, I could see 3 working really well if the design style supports it. Nice work James!

    This is less a re-design and more a total re-brand of Reddit. Which is not a good thing. I guess this looks good for a Windows 8 app, but in the mean time you've completely abandoned what makes the Reddit website, well, the Reddit website. The cleanliness. The simplicity. The focus on content.

    Content is key.

    It's drawing the eyes' focus away from the headlines (thumbnails are sometimes nothing more than visual noise). The login link looks disabled. "Search reddit" is really kind of a mystery. There's lots of uppercase text (bad for readability and shape recognition/scannability). Contrast issues galore.

    I think one of the key things it's missing as well is the way that :visited links on Reddit normally look so greyed out so it's easy to determine what links you have already been to. People use Reddit A LOT and endlessly refresh looking for new content. In this mock it's tough to tell what's down voted and what's just visited.

    I don't know why I've come down on this so harshly, but, well, it just strikes me as superfluous design without any consideration of the underlying motivations. Please don't take any of what I've said personally. It's easy to criticise and hard to create.
