I can't say I find this more evocative than what we had 45 years ago.

The depth of Abyss always resonated with me. There's so much evil there.

If the current image looks like a modern PowerPoint slide, this image gives me shivers, bringing back memories of dry '80s high-school textbooks.

I always preferred the great wheel depicted in a style reminiscent to a medieval alchemical chart. Use symbols to represent. I still prefer the 2014 5e presentation.

Nowhere in D&D is Gygax's obsession with box-checking more obvious than the planes.
And people accused the edition that must not be named for being box-filling!

Nah, Gehenna is floating volcanoes in a void, and Carceri is a string of red orbs, so they can be quite different. For some reason they didn't indicate those differences in this (admittedly very stylized) map.
What is the difference between floating red orbs, floating volcanoes, and floating black platonic solids?
 




I am a little meh, but I do like the Abyss one. I wish the 9 Hells was more of a hole in the ground. But then I tend to change the Wheel into the Shell that surrounds the multiverse (largely) keeping the Far Realm out. I also tend to make soul stuff being very dense the more evil it is, so the idea that the lower you get in the Lower Planes, the more evil it is.
