Has corporate minimalism officially run out of ideas?


In Episode 20 of The Owlgorithm, David Verjano takes the mic solo (with a brief pop-in from team member Adrian Lorenzo) to review the biggest visual identity updates, expensive CPG lawsuits, and algorithmic shifts hitting your feeds.


On this week's agenda:

  • Instagram’s Wordmark Facelift: Evaluating Studio Cotto’s subtle, tech-forward refinement of Instagram's signature script.
  • The $24M Copycat Cautionary Tale: What the Van Leeuwen vs. Rebel Ice Cream lawsuit teaches us about trade dress, retail confusion, and squint tests.
  • Calendly’s Visual Evolution: How Smith & Diction built a flexible brand system around a rippling "C".
  • The War on AI Slop: LinkedIn introduces a report button for generic AI posts, while Spotify starts deprioritizing unverified AI personas from recommendation feeds.
  • Liquid Death Strikes Again: Jason Kelce joins forces with Liquid Death and Garage Beer to launch an absurd campaign targeting AI data center water consumption.
