| Thomas The Tank Engine Facelift, Adobe Animate Lives On, and How To Use Ligatures | 05 Feb 2026 | 00:43:37 | |
This week on File New, we talk about Thomas the Tank Engineās new look and why people are so emotionally attached to legacy brands, the GoFundMe rebrand and how design is being used to signal collective action, and the Grammys officially recognizing album artwork as its own creative category. On the tech side, we cover TikTokās US-only algorithm, social platforms being put on trial for addictive UX patterns, and how the internet is starting to feel different depending on where you live. Plus Adobe updates, Firefly changes, the future of Adobe Animate, Font of the Week, and a handful of useful creative tools and resources.

| Why the Muppets Don't Need A Rebrand, the Louvreās Mangled Crown, and AI shows up at the Olympics. ...The Sloplympics if you will | 11 Feb 2026 | 01:02:01 | |
The Muppets are back, and they barely changed a thing. Same logo. Same stage. Just sharper production. And somehow that restraint feels more modern than most rebrands we see. This week, we get into the Winter Olympics opening ceremony, including the new kinetic cauldron, the stage design, and the moments where obvious AI animation pulled you out of the moment. We look at this yearās Super Bowl graphics and the return to that glossy NFL look, plus a first look at next yearās logo. On the platform side, Substack confirms a data breach, the EU pushes back on TikTokās addictive design features, Discord rolls out facial ID age verification, and Roblox starts introducing AI generated interactive objects. All that and a whole lot more!

| Snapple Rebrands, DJI Sues the FCC, and Adobeās New Quick Cut | File New | 26 Feb 2026 | 00:39:49 | |
Your weekly source for creative news, tech updates, and stories that matter to the design community.This week weāre honoring Jane Baer, the animation legend whose work on "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and "Sleeping Beauty" helped define an era. We also talk about "Muppet Vision 3D" officially coming to Apple Vision Pro and why that move matters for digital preservation.DJI announced itās filing a lawsuit against the FCC, which could have real implications for creators who rely on their gear. On the branding side, Snapple is preparing for a rebrand, and we revisit Instagramās logo change from 10 years ago to see how the backlash looks in hindsight.If youāre looking for resources and updates, we take a look at Michael Fugosaās breakdown of Adobe Illustrator beta features, including Exploder mode, 360 degree turntable, and GIF export. We also talk about how the first YouTube video, "Me at the Zoo", became a museum artifact.Plus a whole lot more that won't fit in this description!This week's links: https://ryanselvy.raindrop.page/february-25-2026-67301353Font of the week winners: https://ryanselvy.raindrop.page/font-of-the-week-winners-59521268 | |||

| Google's New Aesthetic, Blue Wendy's, Spotify's Disco Ball, and More Design News | 25 May 2026 | 00:26:16 | |
What do we call the dark mode gradient era? The blue Wendy's is practically unrecognizable (and unappetizing?). Also everybody relax, the Spotify disco ball is temporary. This is the cutdown of the live show. IN THIS EPISODE: Google I/O announced a lot, but let's talk about their branding. Wendy's is updating international stores to sky blue. Spotify's Disco Ball wasn't given a fair chance. Google's all in on XR, VR, AI, and audio glasses, but they're calling them intelligent glasses. People are watching vertical YouTube Shorts on their TVs. The new XP Pen Pilot Pro helps you edit videos. Insta360 releases really powerful microphones. Substance 3D updates. National Parks Poster and Sticker Design by Dorothy Waugh. What's in an art movement name. How to make charts with visual integrity. UI/UX accessibility rules. The websites we lost being rehabilitated by The Useless Web. Take a little creative break with NoomaLooma.

Threads officially launched their new logo. Here's why it works. Panera's new "It Just Meals Good" campaign looks a lot like Subway. I'm also showing off one of the best Art Director toolboxes I've come across, and a Photoshop plugin that relights your photos for you. We also get into Pentagram's identity overhaul of St. Paul's Cathedral, new Photoshop features worth knowing, Instagram's crackdown on repost accounts, the Oscars' new rules for AI and VFX, and a Kickstarter tripod that gives me anxiety. š Links from this episode: https://ryanselvy.raindrop.page/may-6-2026-70550145 š Font of the Week Winners: https://ryanselvy.raindrop.page/font-of-the-week-winners-59521268 Follow Ryan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RyanSelvy Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/RyanSelvy š„ Additional editing by Zachary Bromberg File New is produced with the support of Adobe Live, where Ryan streams live every Wednesday as a paid freelance host.
