Bing is testing a new design for the search results layout. The new design seems a lot cleaner, fresher and more organized compared to the older design.

Jason Hart tipped us off listing out the key differences:

• Vertical tabs removed
• Top and bottom search boxes widened
• Search button icon changed
• Several links removed from header
• Location information no longer displayed
• Icons used instead of text for rewards and preferences
• My smiling face added to the page instead of just my name
• Related searches moved from left rail to under the search box

Here is a picture of the new design:
