Goodbye Calibri: New default font for Microsoft Office (www.theverge.com)
 

This is probably only exciting for type nerds, but I'm sort of excited. I'm not a fan of Calibri, but it was at least better than Arial. Aptos actually looks great, more refined like helvetica.

I agree, but I try to be pragmatic. Everyone is looking for the twitter killer that will destroy it in a blaze of glory, but I am fine with it slowly bleeding users and value as Threads and Mastodon (and Bluesky?) get better and gains more users.

Infiniti wins the contest for strangest car logo rebrand of the year in c/graphic_design
[–] spammedevito 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, the original logo works pretty well, it's the letter I, it's a road to infinity, easy peezy. In the new mark, the road just looks arbitrarily cut off. Kids these days with their cut off roads grrr, get off my lawn!

Infiniti wins the contest for strangest car logo rebrand of the year (www.creativebloq.com)
 

I try to be pretty open-minded about rebrands, because I don't know what the brief was, but this one did make me chuckle. It seems like a massive undertaking for some very subtle changes. The reasons they give are pretty funny, and they even have a brand sound and a BRAND SCENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

gestalt theory basics (www.chrbutler.com)
 

For all my younger design homies, a nice refresher/introduction to gestalt theory. I will probably use some of this in my classes.

Great brand work for a pizza joint (abduzeedo.com)
 

It takes a lot of skill to make something so perfectly like a neighborhood pizza joint and also sophisticated. The humor and the illustrations are so good.

Interesting article about being introverted in design (www.itsnicethat.com)
 

I think that it's great that they talk to real creatives and get their perspectives. I'm very introverted but I have also learned to be very good in social situations.

Apple announced Vision Pro before its best applications are working, says leaker in c/apple_enthusiast

I thought the same thing; my impression is there is a ton or work still to be done and they are announcing it so devs can get ready. Hmmm maybe that's why they announced it at WWDC?

Bold & Bright Typography Inspiration (theinspirationgrid.com)
 

Such a simple style, but the cohesive vision and execution makes it work so well.

Succession themed tarot cards (www.itsnicethat.com)
 

The idea is great, and the illustration style is wonderful. I love it when people use their design and passion to create unique ideas like this.

Great example of modern simple branding/illustration (abduzeedo.com)
 

So many people try to tackle this style and get it very wrong. It feels like it aims for a "young" aesthetic, but it still is sophisticated in execution.
