The Portuguese government is returning to its old symbol. About five months ago, Portugal unveiled its new visual identity in collaboration with Studio Eduardo Aires, creator of the legendary Porto city branding. The complex symbols and typefaces of the past were designed to be more readable in the digital environment. One of the most talked-about symbols was a radical simplification of the Portuguese flag, which was created in 1910 when the Portuguese Republic was established following the revolution. The central […]
Nothing has released the AI-powered 'Nothing Ear' and Nothing Ear(a). Nothing's unique transparent bubble design grammar is beautifully applied. There are many wireless earphones that use achromatic colors, but the vivid yellow color makes it stand out. There's even a transparent yellow frog that appears, making it hard to forget. The vertically long, serif-emphasized font and minimal house music remind me of an early Apple advertisement. Simple […]

The Ministry of Public Administration and Security has distributed the ‘Digital Government Service UI/UX Guidelines’ for user convenience of digital government services. We have released a PDF file and website that administrative/public organizations can use as a reference when creating a new website. When it comes to Korean public administration, it is recognized around the world. However, digital services still had a lot of room for improvement. The government conducted a survey on the use of e-government services in 2023 to provide better services. Most of the feedback received is repeatedly asking for the same behavior and […] ]
Introducing ‘Loop’, a beautiful ear plug from Belgium. Loop is a product made to protect your ears from noise, just like you wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from ultraviolet rays. Usually, when you think of ‘earplugs’, a form of foam that completely blocks the ear canal comes to mind. The longer you use it, the more black stains appear and the more sticky it becomes. It is a simple consumable that is used a few times and then discarded, and its only functional purpose is to block sound. It was an extreme and crude method of blocking sound altogether to reduce noise. new [… ]
An exhibition was held by Hypnosis, a legend of graphic design in the 1960s. The name ‘Hipnosis’ is a combination of ‘hip’ meaning fashion and ‘gnosis’ meaning knowledge. It is famous for its surreal images created in collaboration with famous singers such as Paul McCartney, Led Zeppelin, 10cc, and Pink Floyd. It became legendary for its innovative graphics in a time when there was no Photoshop. I also thought that it was an art that was only possible because it was from that era. Collaboration between rebellious and artistic creative groups is always interesting […] ]

Following the Galaxy S23, Galaxy Z Fold, and Flip 5 series last March, we are expanding support for older models. If this trend continues, it seems like 100 million units could be equipped with AI functions. In the Samsung Members community, a user said that AI […] ]

Now anyone can easily create a video containing a story […] ]
The LEGO Group collaborated with Interbrand to create a new design identity. The red brick logo is a powerful, recognizable design, but we needed a system that could be used flexibly across digital platforms. As a brand that does a lot of collaborations, it would have needed an identity that would be more memorable. Our LEGO Agency (OLA), the LEGO Group’s in-house creative and strategy agency, has been working with Interbrand for two years to build a design ecosystem. OLA and […] ]
