Why the Muppets Don't Need A Rebrand, the Louvre’s Mangled Crown, and AI shows up at the Olympics. ...The Sloplympics if you will

from The File New Show · host Ryan Selvy

The Muppets are back, and they barely changed a thing. Same logo. Same stage. Just sharper production. And somehow that restraint feels more modern than most rebrands we see.This week, we get into the Winter Olympics opening ceremony, including the new kinetic cauldron, the stage design, and the moments where obvious AI animation pulled you out of the moment. We look at this year’s Super Bowl graphics and the return to that glossy NFL look, plus a first look at next year’s logo.On the platform side, Substack confirms a data breach, the EU pushes back on TikTok’s addictive design features, Discord rolls out facial ID age verification, and Roblox starts introducing AI generated interactive objects.All that and a whole lot more!Here's this week's raindrop links: https://raindrop.io/ryanselvy/february-11-2026-66721791Here's the winners of past Font of the Week: https://raindrop.io/ryanselvy/font-of-the-week-winners-59521268
