    Google's New Aesthetic, Blue Wendy's, Spotify's Disco Ball, and More Design News

    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 Camera

    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. 🔗 Find links from this episode on Raindrop: https://ryanselvy.raindrop.page/may-13-2026-70836041👑 Font of the Week Winners: https://ryanselvy.raindrop.page/font-of-the-week-winners-59521268 ⭐️ Follow Ryan YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RyanSelvyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/RyanSelvyhttps://www.RyanSelvy.com 🎥 Additional editing by ⁠Zachary Bromberg⁠: https://www.zacharybromberg.com/ File New is produced with the support of Adobe Live, where Ryan streams live every Wednesday as a paid freelance host.

    Threads has a new logo, Panera looks like Subway, and a big Photoshop update

    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. 🔗 Links from this episode: https://ryanselvy.raindrop.page/may-6-2026-70550145 👑 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 https://www.RyanSelvy.com 🎥 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.
