I'm going off on a tangent here, but... Many times, the phrase "if it ain't
broke, don't fix it" has been used to excuse doing absolutely nothing. If
you don't continuously freshen up the creative property you're working
on, it will stagnate and eventually fall apart.

That said, overall I preferred Gladstone's method of "fixing" the earlier 
Whitman editorial standard to Disney's method of "fixing" the Gladstone 
editorial standard (which I don't feel was as necessary).
