IT’S HERE! After months (and months) of time, care, thoughtful discourse, attention to detail, rounds of editing, more discussion, and involvement from almost every single person across the team, I’m thrilled to announce that our brand refresh is LIVE. Here’s the backstory. As Figma expands our offerings, our community has grown and evolved — and so has our brand. Our team has developed a new visual identity from color palette to illustration style, to a brand new typeface (Figma Sans, hello!) to point to where we’re headed, a place where anyone can bring their ideas to life. In thinking about bringing this to our community (and the world!), we kept circling on this concept of “Make. Believe.” It’s the concept that the idea is just the beginning. To make something you believe in. To believe in something that you make. It’s about the end-to-end, design to production, and everything that happens in between. With our new OOH and events launching across different cities, including SF and NYC (go check it out in Times Square!!), I’m so excited to show you how Figma is a place where builders can, as Dylan Field always says, "go from imagination to reality.” I believe ??

A redesign is never easy but Volvo Trucks (volvotrucks.us) wanted to redefine their digital experience to match the innovation and personalization offered by their new truck, the all-new Volvo VNL truck, a model more than 7 years in making. Partnering with Code and Theory, they wanted to create a new digital experience to match the innovation and personalization offered by the VNL. Here’s how they did it → https://figma.bot/3XC70qS

Hey y'all, say hello to Figma Sans, the new custom typeface we made with Grilli Type (the best partners!). An opinionated grotesque, Figma Sans balances personality with crisp, clean forms. It plays well with our larger brand evolution, and is flexible enough to cover all our needs — we're beyond excited about it.
