Van Leeuwen Wins $23.8M, Coca-Cola's RED EVERYTHING Update, and the Fonts AI Can't Read

from The File New Show · host Ryan Selvy

Van Leeuwen won $23.8 million from Rebel in a "dressing" lawsuit over ice cream pints. Coca-Cola is going all in on red. Red on every can regardless of flavor for its big design freshening up. I point out why that might be an issue next time you're at a barbeque. Liberty Mutual introduced a mascot from the Jim Henson Creature Shop, La La Land fixed Ryan Gosling's hand on the poster .(..a decade later), and Logo Zero traces a logo back to when it was selling cheese slicers and census machines. Later in the episode we look at two designers who coincidentally built typefaces so that AI can't read them. I also walk through the logo process behind my new weekly newsletter, The Design Cache, cover the After Effects guides update, and another font of the week.This is a cut down optimized version of the episode.
