Old vs. New Azumanga Daioh
The original Azumanga Daioh yonkoma published by MediaWorks are on the left. The 10th Anniversary Edition versions published by Shogakukan are on the right. As the side-by-side comparison shows, the redrawing of these comic strips are very thorough. The stylistic changes are also pretty clear-cut.

So that's what the post-Yotsuba&! version of Azumanga Daioh looks like. The minimal design, resembling a high school textbook, eschews the more conventional style used in the MediaWorks covers. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on Shogakukan's 10th anniversary editions partly because they will most likely not be reproduced in English by Yen Press (here). But I'm also enough of a nerd to want to own at least one Japanese language version of a preferred manga.
Update: Here are the rest of the Shogakukan covers:
