The 'tile' theme does have some advantages - more posts can be shown at one time,
which is great for featuring the winners in multiple countries. It's also fully
responsive, meaning it will render nicely on phones, tablets, and desktops with the same
theme.
Streamlined commenting is easier for new users, while pictures are up front. To a certain
degree, it's a matter of personal taste. Typography is a bit cleaner; in general, it
tends to look more professional because it was professionally designed. I personally
prefer the new theme as a more modern approach still under a free license.
I can definitely make additional modifications for anyone who needs help - things like
colors can be changed very easily. (The theme is

course)

The .us website looks to me like the original .org template before it got changed.
Personally I actually prefer the white-and-red skin much more over the current chaotic
.org version (I'm just not a big fan of the tile structure chosen there, nor of the
color scheme).
On

you can find some more info about the red-and-white skin.

Nah, I was responsible for
wikilovesmonuments.org -
premade, but with some
modifications. I can pass on info for that one -
I'm not sure about the US
one though.

Mono did it up himself, IIRC.
