IMO the old design was so much better:

Looks like a new Alp. I like it. The old design would have been great though.

Glad to see something going ... but Basel missed an opportunity here. Was it the cost of the original design or did they just reject it ?

The new design is definitely more conservative.

It is finally above ground.
