Rebrand of the Day
Spurs announced an extension of their current brand and it's quite nice. I'm very happy the monogram is back.

- was chatting about this yesterday at work. What do you reckon? Looks like they could have a lot of fun with it, but Spurs fans are miserable cunts!Ianbolton
- It hasn't been well received but I think a lot has to do with the timing - the Ipswich loss right before an Int. break still tastes bad. Levy isn't popular.Luda
- BUT, modern sports is also a race for branding/recognition in the marketplace. I think the whole "brand remastered" is really good. Adding orange to the...Luda
- ...palette is brave as it's so close to red. The font changes are nice. The bespoke Spurs font can now be used in sentence case. Small touch but nice.Luda
- Levy is a dick and the fact they thought they were big enough to be part of the super league a few years ago was almost hilarious.Ianbolton
- But as a designer i'm all for seeing good football brands work and bring more life to the game.Ianbolton
- Spurs were invited to be part of it so it's obvious that they're a big enough BRAND to be involved, which is what the Super League was about.Luda
- But the gap between the board and the fans is big. The timing of this branding has been seen as "tone deaf". Only on-field success will appease fans.Luda
- This is a good one. Nothing major but nice all the same.HAYZ1LLLA
- A chicken on a Segway?skinny_puppy
- The bright secondary colours feel a bit too similar to the Premier League branding, which as become widely imitatedChimp
- cock on a ball :Probthelad
- minor tweaks really, hence the overblown super swish page showing it off - lots of movement to disguise the fact that not much has changed.hans_glib
- sadly i think they've blown the monogram. they've tried too hard and ended up ruining it.hans_glib
- Probably won't help them win the league #YNWAKnuckleberry

blog
Start day! Got laid off in March and FINALLY back to work today. For the past several years I've been focused on web projects, content experiences, and content hubs as a principal UX designer at a content marketing agency.
New role is leading UX strategy for a huge enterprise application project with a major US bank. I'm excited for something more focused and specific; my role for the past several years came with so many hats, and every ounce of eccentricity, egos, arguments, creative disagreements, and more that the ad and marketing world can conjure up.
I'm going to be back in the city three days a week and taking the train again, which I'm pretty excited about just to be around other humans again and not in my basement all day.
- Congrats. That’s quite a jump. Enterprise must be full on design-system land?mort_
- Good luck! Hope you will not be bored after a year, banking moves very slowgrafician
- Woot!!!YakuZoku
- Graf - that's one thing I'm actually excited about. I was staffed to an enterprise client years ago and the pace was nice. The world I've been in was a zoo.mg33
- mort - it sounds like it. I'll be doing less design work than I've been doing and much more strategy, which is a direction I wanted to go in anyways.mg33
- Go get itgarbage
- That's great news mg - best of luck!stoplying

- Great news. If a UX job takes 8 months to find, I expect a motion designer job to take about 3 years once I lose my job early next year.CyBrainX

- Good stuff. It sounds like the right thing for you man. Good luck!pseud

- Thanks everyone! I appreciate the congrats. Man it's wild to realize what a constant QBN has been across so many of our careers. :)mg33

"be around other humans again" nice one! I miss it too, but only sometimes.OBBTKN - Congrats. Best move i ever made was from Agency world to Tech world. Work/Life balance is night and day. Enjoy!microkorg

Food
Is In-N-Out Burgers really that great? Has anyone tried it?
- I grew up with it, and I think they have one of the better burgers around, for sure.monospaced
- They also go out of their way to have the freshest ingredients, keep prices insanely low, and treat employees well.monospaced
- Great burgers but their fries suck. If you order "animal style" they'll add cheese + grilled onions + sauce over the fries making it not suck.koma_
- Shitty fries as koma_ stated—and just as mono said—good burgers. Their patties are never frozen (meaning it's butchered / sourced very close by and recently).PonyBoy
- Its ok. There are like 100 better spots in so cal, but prices + quality keep people coming backfuturefood
- aren't their fries cut from actual potatoes? Whose fake fries are comparing them with? MD?Beeswax
- They’re just not twice fried... yes they’re immediately / freshly cut (thin) then fried on the spot... they’re okay immediately out of the fryer-just a bit flimsy.PonyBoy
- If you ask they’ll fry them twice. They’ll do just about anything custom. And the fries are awesome just different and fresh.monospaced

Elon Musk
I now understand why he "fucked up " Twitter.
He didn't. He bought the most powerful political propaganda tool, and pushed right wing MAGA ideology. In a really blatant way.
Next thing you know, Trump gets reelected, in my opinion largely because of Twitter pushing scaremongering hateful shit onto everyone's phone multiple times a day, for a couple of years.
He basically used Twitter to buy Trump the election, and if the platform was destroyed in the process, so be it. An election is worth a lot more.
Now, surprise surprise, he's riding around with Donny Tramp and being given power to make policies that will very obviously suit him.
What do y'all think? Am I nuts? Should this be posted in the conspiracy of the day thread?
- Nah, not really. Sort of but not really. He bought twitter for many reasons. It’s not much different than any billionaire buying a newspaper. Typica playbook.nb
- He bought twitter because A) he didn’t like the way it was going, and his ego told him he could fix it and probably turn a profit.nb
- B) he’s a bit immature, terribly insecure and addicted to admiration. To him, owning Twitter is like being king of the internet. And C) he could afford it.nb
- Erm, so you don't think being king of the internet, per se, can give you more of a platform to promote Trump than legacy media outlets?Ianbolton
- He keeps spouting how Twitter is the Town square where anything goes while adding a shit ton of bots. There are thousands of Elon Musk-esque bots on thereIanbolton
- Spunking out disinformation and misinformation every single day now. And then there's the "look at all the libtards leaving'. He knows what he's doingIanbolton
- Online speech should be moderated. If you wouldn't say it to someones face in real life, then you shouldn't typing it. But ya know, cunts love free speechIanbolton
- meh - no-one is forced to read twatter - those that do deserve / want everything they gethans_glib
- it used to be a decent community website where i could follow a ton of things here in Leeds as I never used Facebook. It still is, but it's difficult to ignoreIanbolton
- the political shouting of MAGAIanbolton
- I have left Twitter almost completely, because of him. But I can't ignore the fact that there are still a LOT of people on there, daily, getting pushed MAGAProjectile
- People who didn't give a F about womens sports or young people transitioning, but now believe it's the reason their kids is a brat and their wife hates themProjectile
- its just one piece of a larger puzzle, its not the only reason Trump wonHAL9001
- Let's all be honest, Trump won because he loves MacDonald's. The dinner of champions. Usain Bolt won gold medals on chicken nuggetsIanbolton
- I think you are nuts. Twitter purchase more likely about: 1) everything app to copy WeChat. Critical mass of users already. 2) owned training data for AI.monNom
- 2024 votes for trump were comparable to 2020. So unlikely twitter made any real difference. There’s probably a starlink play in the future somewhere as well.monNom
- IE a global payment and communication platform that is accessible anywhere in the world through a dedicated satellite network. Probably with its own crypto coinmonNom
- Oh and robo taxis, maybe with Optimus delivery robots... I don’t think anything he does is disconnected.monNom
- Yeah he knows what he’s doing but I don’t think it was a master plan from before he bought itnb
