Thomas The Tank Engine Facelift, Adobe Animate Lives On, and How To Use Ligatures05 Feb 202600:43:37

This week on File New, we talk about Thomas the Tank Engine’s 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 TikTok’s 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 Louvre’s Mangled Crown, and AI shows up at the Olympics. ...The Sloplympics if you will11 Feb 202601:02:01

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 year’s Super Bowl graphics and the return to that glossy NFL look, plus a first look at next year’s logo.

On the platform side, Substack confirms a data breach, the EU pushes back on TikTok’s 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!

Google's New Aesthetic, Blue Wendy's, Spotify's Disco Ball, and More Design News25 May 202600:26:16

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.

SNL UK's Weird Logo, Star Fox's Weird Character Design, Nikon's $550 Million Whoopsie, And a Cool Canon Video Camera19 May 202600:17:19

Stink Studios designed the new SNL UK branding but we probably weren't supposed to find that out. Star Fox 64 is getting another remake, except this one is really unsettling. NBC Peacock slipped in some subtle logo updates, Gotham fights for relevance by going variable, and Google announced Googlebooks (no, not Google Books) right before Google I/O.

Plus: Nikon takes a $550 million hit, Canon drops a 7K camera built for video, Instagram rolls out Instants, and of course Font of the Week.

Threads has a new logo, Panera looks like Subway, and a big Photoshop update12 May 202600:22:46

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.
