FRANKI BRANDING: INSIDE KOTO'S NEW IDENTITY

Koto's identity for restaurant discovery app Franki turns finding places to eat into the visual language of an insider's club, centered on bright yellow, oversized rounded typography, candid photography, and conversational copy. Diatype Rounded and a soft geometric symbol create a friendly foundation, while phrases such as “If we know, you know” reinforce Franki's positioning as a knowledgeable friend rather than a conventional recommendation platform. Motion extends through typography, UI, and content to suit the video-first product, while the same system carries into Franki Social Club and physical experiences.

NEW REPORT SLAMS MICROSOFT FOR LEVERAGING DARK PATTERNS TO FORCE PEOPLE TO USE EDGE

Microsoft continues using dark patterns, including misleading banners, default-browser restrictions, and forced actions, to steer Windows users toward Edge. Users outside the European Economic Area encounter more interference when downloading, setting, and keeping an alternative default browser, demonstrating how regulatory requirements can directly affect interface design. Windows features such as Search and Widgets can also bypass a user's chosen default and open links in Edge, reinforcing concerns that Microsoft's design decisions undermine meaningful browser choice.

3 DESIGN PRINCIPLES IN THE AI AGE

Three enduring principles remain essential to good design despite AI dramatically accelerating creative work: iteration, feedback, and connecting the dots. Faster generation makes exploring alternatives cheaper, but quality still requires repeated refinement, diverse human perspectives, and judgment about which feedback matters rather than accepting AI's first answer or treating it as the only critic. Designers also need time away from production to process accumulated knowledge and recognize larger connections, because AI can generate faster than humans can meaningfully reflect.

DESIGN AS A GARDEN

Creative work can be approached like tending a garden: cultivate favorable conditions, return consistently, encourage unexpected cross-pollination, and protect fragile ideas before judging them too quickly. Pruning unnecessary work and deliberately leaving room for play can be as important as producing more, while not every experiment needs an obvious payoff. Ideas also benefit from periods of inactivity and patience, making it useful to distinguish between moments that require greater effort and those that simply require more time.

NINE CHECKS BEFORE SHIPPING A PRODUCT EMAIL: A WORKFLOW FOR DEVELOPERS AND DESIGNERS

A product email can look right in a design file yet fail its reader through a vanishing action, a surviving staging link, or a duplicate send. Using a workspace invitation as the example, nine checks cover the message's behavioral contract, client compatibility, accessibility, captured application output, link validation, and retry handling. Delivery evidence, such as authentication and bounce handling, is reviewed separately after the template passes.

MICROSOFT'S IDENTITY FOR COPILOT POSITIONS IT AS A TOOL FOR WORK

Microsoft's evolving Copilot identity positions AI as a practical tool embedded in everyday work rather than an abstract futuristic technology. Its animated two-part mark, paired sans-serif and serif typography, gradients, and flexible graphic system create continuity across Microsoft's ecosystem while giving Copilot a recognizable presence of its own. The system is designed to scale across product interfaces, campaigns, and motion, balancing the expressiveness needed to represent generative AI with the clarity expected from a productivity tool.
