Drawing inspiration from lively spirit of Rio Carnival, the typography reacts to the sound of the instruments, adapting colours and motion in a rhythmic way.

SF Symbols 3 features over 600 new symbols, including localised variants across eight scripts. New rendering modes provide greater control over how colour is applied to symbols, while hierarchical rendering adds depth and emphasis using a single tint colour, which is automatically applied in varying levels of opacity. Palette rendering also allows symbols to be customised with multiple contrasting colours. An updated SF Symbols app offers a new inspector, image export options and improved support for custom symbols.

Zhihua He created an immersive visual experience for the hot pot restaurant brand Fun Pot. The energy of hot pot culture is conveyed through the redesign of Chinese characters. The design is inspired by the ingredients and flavours of Sichuan hot pot: the hemp flavor will make the tongue stale, the spiciness comes from the stimulation of spices and the umami flavor was usually obtained from fish and sheep in ancient times.

The newly reimagined David Geffen Hall brings the stage towards the centre, letting the audience surround the orchestra. The idea of surrounding a stage informed the new NY Phil logo, which can be used to frame photography and create the sense of intimacy the new hall brings. The square is a nod to the location of the hall: the Lincoln Center, a rare square inside the rectangular grid that is New York. The identity became an invitation to a new, much broader audience, inviting all New Yorkers to enjoy the NY Phil.

AI surveillance is everywhere. AI-based security cameras are labelling individuals based on their appearances and using their information without their permission. To raise awareness of the issue, textiles label UNLABELED developed camouflage patterns that prevent AI from recognising clothing, which was transformed into products in partnership with apparel brand NEXUSVII. Wearing these pieces of clothing will reduce AI's ability to pick up on clothing, and can help to restore some of society's right to privacy.
