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.
I agree, but I try to be pragmatic. Everyone is looking for the twitter killer that will destroy it in a blaze of glory, but I am fine with it slowly bleeding users and value as Threads and Mastodon (and Bluesky?) get better and gains more users.
I try to be pretty open-minded about rebrands, because I don't know what the brief was, but this one did make me chuckle. It seems like a massive undertaking for some very subtle changes. The reasons they give are pretty funny, and they even have a brand sound and a BRAND SCENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It takes a lot of skill to make something so perfectly like a neighborhood pizza joint and also sophisticated. The humor and the illustrations are so good.
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.
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.
