Apple’s new mascot? 🥹

@apple has turned its iconic two-tone Finder icon into a character fans are calling “Lil’ Finder Guy.”

The tiny, cute mascot briefly appeared in promotional TikTok posts and a livestream for the new MacBook Neo, and with only two appearances it has quickly become an online sensation.

The overnight love for Lil’ Finder Guy has sparked fan-made illustrations like @thebasicappleguy’s, 3D print models like @arielstudio_o’s, memes, and calls for Apple to release merchandise.

While not officially confirmed as a brand mascot or official name, “Lil’ Finder Guy” could become Apple’s second unofficial mascot, following Clarus the Dogcow.

Clarus began life as a bitmapped Cairo font image designed by Susan Kare in 1983 and was later used in the classic Mac OS Page Setup dialog to demonstrate page orientation; over time it became a beloved symbol among Apple developers.

¿Listo para aprender?

@duolingo, known for its irreverent marketing and advertising strategies, is helping English-only speakers learn basic Bad Bunny Spanish ahead of the Super Bowl.

In a 15-second video shared on its social platforms and aired on TV, Duo dresses as Bad Bunny and introduces terms like “Perreo“ and “Tití Me Preguntó,” translating them into plain English.

While Duolingo won’t run an ad during the game itself, its pre-game TV campaign is supported by a social media countdown, and audio placements on music platforms.

Best design of the year?

Brazil and @futurebrandsp have created a new brand to promote the Brazilian Amazon as a tourism destination across its nine states, highlighting one of the largest biomes on Earth.

The identity is built using real geographic coordinates, with each letter of the alphabet derived from satellite images of the Amazon River and its tributaries, forming a logotype shaped by the region’s navigable waters (Refined by @naipefoundry)

The system was co-created with artists from all nine states, bringing together illustration, photography, and audiovisual work to reflect the cultural diversity of a territory larger than India.

Artists:
Cristo: @_____cristo 
Winy Tapajós @winnytapajos 
Malu Menezes @maluanezes
Beatriz Belo @beademilho 
Odir Abreu @pintor_odir
Ori Junior @ori.junior 
Bob Menezes @bobmenezes_ 
Marahu Filmes @marahufilmes
Rogerio Pedro @rogeriopedroart

The initiative aims to encourage exploration of the region by supporting local activity across tourism, gastronomy, agriculture, arts, dance, crafts, and music.

Mexico lost, but brands won?

Ahead of the Mexico vs. England World Cup match, brands across Mexico switched their names on social media to Spanish as part of the viral "Operativo No Inglés" trend — a playful response to facing an English-speaking opponent. 

Companies including Scrub Daddy, Uber Eats, Tim Hortons, and 7-Eleven joined the movement to rally behind the Mexican National Team, turning language into a cultural expression of support.

Addressing the elephant in the room, yes, I scheduled this before Mexico’s loss, but it’s still a great example of a social media campaign done right.

Can I typeface be safe?

@volvocars is answering that question with its new custom typeface, Volvo Centum.

In collaboration with world-leading type studio @dalton.maag, they have created a bespoke typeface designed to make reading faster, attention sharper, and the driving experience calmer.

Every curve, every terminal, every spacing decision was engineered to reduce visual noise and let drivers focus on what matters – safety, clarity, simplicity. 

Volvo Centum supports over 800 languages – including complex scripts such as Chinese, Arabic, Japanese, and Korean – with optimized performance for both in-car interfaces and other applications.

The typeface will make its debut in the upcoming Volvo EX60

Coachella, the brands’ festival?

Coachella has grown over the years from an indie music festival into a cultural powerhouse—bringing together celebrities, musicians, and, of course, brands looking to connect with audiences through one-of-a-kind experiences. This year was no exception, with food, beauty, and fashion leading the way.

Brands like @always_brand @secretdeodorant @methodproducts @neutrogena @wavytalkofficial @medicube_global_official and @elfcosmetics created a haven for beauty, quick makeup retouches, and grooming.

Clothing brands like @gap and @skylrk dropped exclusive Coachella merch, while @pinterest @americanexpress and @barbie joined in with DIY and customizable accessories to complete the look.

Food and drink brands like @magnumicecream @cocacola @electrolit @heineken_us @starbucks and @aperolspritzofficial gave attendees a way to refresh with drinks and special menus, all combined with music and photo ops.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg—I’m only listing the brands inside the festival, but many others take advantage of the moment with their own private parties and influencer events.

Agencies are tagged on their respective photos

PS Waiting for my invite for next year 😉

Museum worthy 😍

@branchmuseumofdesign has launched its first-ever visual identity system.

The new design system follows the museum’s name and direction shift from The Branch Museum of Architecture and Design to The Branch Museum of Design.

The visual identity, crafted by @mullenloweus, draws from the museum’s 1919 Tudor blueprints.

Its sculptural “B” logo, formed from three Tudor gables that evolve into literal “branches” throughout the system, becomes a physical expression of the museum’s mission to challenge ingrained viewpoints.

@evil_twin_musica extended the system through sound, mapping the roof’s original blueprint structure into the sonic branding featured in the film.

This repositioning establishes The Branch Museum as Virginia’s only design-dedicated institution — and one of roughly 20 in the U.S.

Do you want your type crispy or frosty? 🍟🍦

Type foundry @dalton.maag, in collaboration with agency @saatchix, has created a new flexible typeface for @wendys by adapting Objektiv, a clean geometric sans typeface, into a fresh, squared-off sans with subtle nods to brand heritage, square patties, and Frosty curves.

The system comes in two styles: Wendy’s Fresh, available in six weights and four widths, and Wendy’s Frosty, a softer, curvier display cut.

Watch out Lil Finder Guy?

@firefox has introduced its first official mascot, Kit, bringing its iconic logo to life. Created by @jkrglobal and illustrator @marcopalmieri_com, Kit is a friendly and familiar companion that makes Firefox’s support and commitment to safety visible as we enter a new internet era that is harder to trust.

Rather than interrupting the experience, Kit appears in subtle, encouraging moments, like when setting up features or completing small tasks, adding warmth and familiarity.

Defined as a “Firefox,” Kit is a unique creature that combines elements of a fox, a red panda, and fire, clarifying years of confusion around the brand’s iconic symbol.

The design relies on an expressive tail to convey motion and emotion, while personality is communicated through the eyes, posture, and body language instead of a mouth.

A brand that values craftsmanship?

@hermes approaches social media the same way it approaches craft, slowly, intentionally, and with purpose.

Instead of chasing trends or pushing products, the French luxury house uses its platforms as a space to celebrate making.

In 2025 alone, Hermès collaborated with over 50 artists, musicians, and makers to create original content for its social channels.

Under the theme “Drawn to Craft,” the brand shares illustrations, stop-motion, sculpture, and sound-led pieces that all point back to one idea: everything begins with drawing, curiosity, and the act of making.

Each post becomes part of a larger narrative, reinforcing Hermès’ belief that craftsmanship isn’t static, it’s a living practice.

In a world dominated by trends, ephemeral content, and AI-generated visuals, Hermès shows what it looks like when a brand truly understands its history, purpose, and value in the modern era.

Gotta Design 'Em All?

@chrismaple53, a Seattle-based designer, was commissioned in 1998 by Nintendo of America CEO Minoru Arakawa to create a logo, within one month, for their new video game, Pokémon, the Western adaptation of the Japanese hit Pocket Monsters.

Maple didn’t get any guidance beyond the requirement that the logo work on a GameBoy’s pixelated screen. He didn’t receive the games to play, but was given toys, illustrations of existing monsters, and an early Nintendo magazine.

Maple developed two final logo designs that were approved by Nintendo. One was released in 1998 and the other in 1999 with minor adjustments. Both crafted by hand and with the signature blue and yellow, likely inspired by the first Pokémon Blue and Yellow versions.

Catchy?

@apple has unveiled a new audio logo, or mnemonic, created by Grammy-winning artist and producer @finneas, which will precede all @appletv original shows and films going forward.

Finneas began at his upright piano,then built the sound by hitting pieces of zinc (and reversing the audio), reversing piano takes, and manipulating bass synths, pitching them up and gliding them down.

There are three versions of the mnemonic: a main five-second version that will play before TV episodes, a one-second version for movie trailers, and a twelve-second version designed for theaters, appearing before Apple Studios’ original films.

The new audio logo is part of Apple's revamp of Apple TV which started by removing the plus sign from its name earlier this year.

How do you bottle Italian tradition?

Aperol has partnered with @design_bridge to evolve its packaging and identity, honoring more than a century of Italian tradition.

The new identity features a redrawn logotype and a new monogram of Aperol’s founders, the Barbieri brothers—both designed by lettering artist @alec_tear.

The redesigned bottle reflects the brand’s Italian roots through tactile details: a double-embossed shoulder inspired by Santa Maria della Salute, rippled glass evoking Venetian canals and Murano artistry, and the embossed monogram that serves as a seal of quality and craftsmanship.

Are brand wars back?

@pepsi has released its 2026 Super Bowl commercial ahead of the game, and it’s already a standout.

The spot, titled “The Choice,” was created by advertising agency @bbdo and directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker @taikawaititi, who also appears in the ad.

The commercial features a CGI polar bear (not to be confused with AI), one of Coca-Cola’s most iconic holiday mascots, taking part in the Pepsi Challenge, the blind taste test originally launched in 1975. The bear is surprised when he chooses Pepsi over Coke.

The ad follows the bear as he struggles with the decision until he meets another polar bear who also prefers Pepsi. In a humorous callback to the viral Coldplay concert jumbotron moment, the two are shown on the big screen enjoying Pepsi. This time, instead of hiding, they proudly embrace their choice.

Can you spot all the new details?

The long-awaited Harry Potter HBO series has finally released its first trailer, along with a newly remastered logo.

Designed by type studio @arillatype and design agency @rgabydesign, the updated logotype preserves the essence of the original while adding story-driven details. Tree-branch forms on the terminals of H, Y, and T echo elements in the new set designs and overall series aesthetic; a double-T ligature, which fans have speculated may nod to a wand, adds extra intrigue; and, of course, the classic lightning bolt remains on the P.

Overall, this is a thoughtful refinement that adds more storytelling and character to a well-known mark. Creating something entirely new would have been a misstep.

Who wins the Design Oscar? 🏆

Every year, as a designer and fan of the Oscars, I love celebrating the best movie poster designs from the nominated films that go beyond clichés.

This year we saw incredible artists illustrating major films, including Vasilis Marmatakis for Bugonia, @tansydeora and @estevan_silveira for Sinners, @sa.deng for Train Dreams, and @jamesjeanart, who shared part of his process behind the incredibly detailed illustration for Frankenstein.

Honorable mention to the fun poster series by Disney for Zootopia 2 that went viral.

My hope is that @theacademy will one day introduce a Best Poster Design category, recognizing the craft of capturing a film’s story and feeling in a a single image, much like score, makeup, or costume design.

My hope is that @theacademy will one day introduce a Best Poster Design category, recognizing the craft of capturing a film’s story and feeling in a a single image, much like score, makeup, or costume design. #GraphicDesign #Branding #DesignInspiration #Illustration #Design #MoviePoster #PosterDesign #Oscars #Oscars2026 #TrainDreams #Frankenstein #Sinners #Bugonia
Was consistency getting monotonous?

After years of pushing a unified flat four-color palette across its icons, a direction often criticized by designers for making products feel visually indistinguishable, Google is shifting toward a more gradient-led approach aligned with broader industry trends.

The company has begun rolling out updated Google Workspace icons across apps like Drive, Docs, Gmail, Calendar, and Slides. The new system introduces gradients and more individualized color treatments to help each product stand apart more clearly. Calendar now leans blue, Chat green, and Meet yellow, replacing the previous shared flat palette.

The Docs family retains its established color cues, green for Sheets, blue for Docs, and yellow for Slides, but refines each icon with updated linework and adjusted proportions, giving the set more visual variation while preserving recognizability.

While the new gradient-driven style may age quickly as trends shift, it improves clarity across the Google Workspace suite, making each icon easier to distinguish at a glance through clearer color and shape differentiation.

Too familiar?

Apple has brought its long-running "Relax, it's iPhone" platform to out-of-home advertising for the first time, replacing its signature pristine product shots with iPhones covered in dirt, scratches, water, and everyday wear.

The campaign transforms ordinary mishaps into proof of the iPhone's durability, reinforcing the idea that real life is nothing to worry about.

The campaign was creatively led by @ben_jmartin and Kendal Bagwell, with photography by @geordiewood
