Meet Microsoft Office’s new default font: Aptos

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.

    Infiniti wins the contest for strangest car logo rebrand of the year

    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.

    Great example of modern simple branding/illustration
    abduzeedo.com Revitalizing Grenier brand identity and editorial design

    The renewed brand identity and editorial  serves as a visual manifestation of Grenier's continued dedication to the industry

    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.
