Adobe has a few public-facing sites bearing its moniker that are visually pretty different.
Adobe.com,
Abode Developer Connection,
Adobe Open Source, and
Adobe Labs. They share a grey background for the most part, however their structures are quite different. I understand how a site like the Dev Connection has a unique navigation & thus the structure voices this, but elsewhere I feel more visual unity would be most welcome. It would be a boatload of work certainly, but ultimately I feel would bring together the sites into a global presentation. If the current layouts don't allow for this, a unified design might be in order to get the job done. Apple did this a while back to outstanding effect. I don't know the size of the web team, I don't know what is on their plates, but I imagine someone is whipping pixels together to hopefully achieve this end.
