@zachklein If you haven’t already, reading about ‘the long goodbye’ would be perfect timing now

I dropped off my 11yo at school. I’m leaving for a work trip and will be gone for a few days. She grabbed her backpack and turned to the school door. I hoped she would spin around and say, “Have a good trip.” She didn’t. I sat there for a moment, realizing that she’s doing exactly what I’ve taught her to do, to be independent. It also struck me that she doesn’t yet understand the cost of that independence. I’ve been helping her need me less, while I’ve already started to miss her more.

@nikitabier doing an amazing job, now @benjitaylor joining to lead design, super bullish X

@jdreeves Have done hundreds of hours doing logo research, haven’t seen that before. Looks rad

I probably dont have a big enough following for this to work but giving it a try anyway ... has anyone seen a logo like this out there before? I feel like I have, but I also really like it so I'd love to show it if it's original. please no 'it kinda reminds me of ____'. I'm just looking for real cease and desist type of comparisons, thx

@thenickpattison Works particularly well when you've seen the logo animation

Dupe cracked the top 5 in the App Store. Always surreal seeing our brand work up with the heavy hitters

@MartinHN Weavy?

Experimenting with node-based canvas for generating images.

The EU Chat Control proposal would be a catastrophe for Europe. It would seal Europeans behind a new digital Berlin wall, cut off from Signal and other e2e messengers. It's embarrassing and dangerous that it's gotten this close already. Time to bail to back to sanity.

@itsolelehmann @orenmeetsworld I love to see them parked 90 degrees on the curb, they’re the same length as a normal car is wide

@orenmeetsworld These are the og ones

The American mind cannot comprehend the half a smart car

@ahistoryinart A hint of Hammershøi in the light and desaturation.

Painted in 1920, a companion to his 'First Light,' made a year earlier, Harold Harvey's 'The New Book,' shows his wife Getrude reading up against a window of their home Maen Cottage overlooking Newlyn Harbour, Penzance and Mount’s Bay in Cornwall.

@Rainmaker1973 The small iPhone fork

What do you call this?

Went through the onboarding in @matter. I don't know how I've held off until now, was an avid user of Instapaper and Digg. Such a wonderful wholly shaped experience before even getting properly started.

Listening to Patrick's interview with Jony Ive, and finding myself googling Victorian Pumping Stations, how is this even a thing, amazing.

@zachklein Really beautiful read Zach, thank for that. I've saved a few imgs of the outside of your house, as I was so inspired by how you transformed the space, but never realized the transformation went so deep. Inspiring

My mom passed away at age 60, but before she did, she gave me glimpses of things that forever changed me: passion and beauty. substack.zachklein.com/p/how-i-replac…

@dahyernst Super Brugsen har været mit kryptonit, har det så stramt med altmodisch købmandstypografi. Jeg elsker ikke det her, men kan sagtens se målet for mig, kan vi bevare 80% og gøre det lidt mere moderne og elektrisk modtageligt. OK'ish.

For nylig overtog OK det kriseramte Coop. Det er som om det visuelle makværk, der blandt meget andet har kendetegnet Coop de senere år, nu har smittet af på den nye ejer. Men skal passe på med at dømme nye logoer ude for tidligt, men … what?

@mikesmith187 Most people should just dollar cost average monthly savings in QQQ, looks deceptively easy but trading is hard!

I am SPECTACULARLY bad at the stock market/crypto. Truly an absolute idiot tapping into Robinhood to make the dumbest moves daily.

@jdreeves If you want to explore some new stuff, something I found that works for me is finding songs that act like knots for a specific sound, then I do song radio on that, and digg in further for specific artists I discover that way. You could do worse than try that with Sault, Wildfires

currently in a bit of crisis realizing that I typically listen to the same 10 albums or so and have for the last decade. I want to do better. what should I be listening to as a happily married 37 year old male with 3 kids...?

@bielor @katedonnellann Thanks Markus. @katedonnellann would be happy to help 🌞

Who is the best brand designer you know that’s open to work right now? ⬇️

@stewartsc Industry is a great one, with some overlaps with Succession in the theme, and conniving money hungry (and very well-written) characters. Great drama. Lots of NSFW action, so if that treadmill is in a gym wouldn't recommend.

@sean_rees @ISTDworldwide @blackandbeech Well-deserved, that's beautiful Sean.

Very pleased to pick up a 'Certificate of Excellence' at the @ISTDworldwide Awards on Friday for the @blackandbeech brand identity. "Lovely mark" – Paula Scher. Can't ask for better than that!

@DallasBarnes Legendary Danish architect Arne Jacobsen built a gas station which was eventually changed into a burger shop and ice cream shop, they do classic car meetings there on certain weekends with big crowds. Could be cool for this one too 👌🏻

There's an old gas station for sale nearby, and the idea of turning it into a coffee shop with a retro gas station vibe is overwhelming me.

@jdreeves I think it’s important that it doesn’t get any hint of ai fakeness, which for me particularly strikes through in depicting people. I use it for various things, one being to do mockups like these. Case specific ones.

I think my personal stance is not using AI on any of my brand work. What do y’all think??
