The November 2025 issue looks to be a special case, so the question is whether December's logo will be in the upper-left or back to the upper-right.

It'll be interesting to see whether the logo's amendment holds.

Cover for the November 2025 issue of The Atlantic. The logo has moved again, this time to the lower-left.

For the November 2025 issue, the logo has moved again, this time to the lower-left corner, so as not to obscure the figures in the picture. My guess is this placement will not continue into later issues since it is ill-advised for a magazine stand.

The October and September 2025 covers of The Atlantic. The logo has been "amended" in the October issue, moving to the upper-left corner.

In October 2025, the issue featured an article by Jill Lepore about amending the Constitution. For the occasion, the logo was amended to be in the upper-left corner, stylized as the "A" in the word "Amend".

Collection of covers from The Atlantic published in 2024. Although some stylized changes were made for specific issues (Ex. the tilted version in the June 2024 issue), the logo always appeared in the upper-right.

The updated identity has been in use for the past six years. The covers vary widely, but the "A" has always appeared in the upper-right corner.

Covers of The Atlantic in December and November 2019. The updated identity switched to a more compact single capital A in the upper right.

Here's an example of typographic design telling a story

In December 2019, The Atlantic updated their identity for the print issue, switching to a more compact stylized "A" in the upper-right corner.

Fun use of a generative model: cuter password reminders. Here's an example interpretation of a password referenced in the xkcd comic "Password Strength". Beats a Post-it note.

Appreciate the clarification, but I wouldn't worry about it, Steve.

play.date

💛

in conclusion we were really excited to get a clean url like play.date but as we're laying out this sticker back art file we're maybe feeling just a little bit of regret. not a lot. please visit our website

4/4

and yeah we tried to add a few words up there like "visit" or "go to our homepage" or "https://" but all of them looked kind of horrible.

3/4

so believe it or not just type in play.date and your browser will take you to our internet home page on the world wide web. now, one important note, the name of the handheld is just "Playdate", one word uppercase P, please don't think the device is called play dot date, that's just the url.

2/4

so steve is nervous nobody will know that's a url, so just to be clear, you know how some websites end in .com or .org, well they added a bunch of new ones like .condos or .focaccia or .ennui or whatever, and so our website actually ends in .date! that's the real, actual url. play dot date.

1/4

Back of Playdate sticker with fine print about the design struggle of displaying a url like play.date

After completing Playdate Season 2, @panic.com sent me a nice sticker. The fine print on the back deserves a shout-out. Well done, @play.date designers.

Ooh, shiny ✨

Got a version of @observablehq.com Notebooks 2.0 working! Excited to play around with it more.

What are some music moments that always give you a good feeling?

Here are three for me.

Screenshot from Smarter Every Day vid on Zig-Zag Coast Guard search patterns. Notice the circular chainmail and scrubber housing pieces behind the keyboard.

Was watching some 3-year-old vids from @smartereveryday.bsky.social and it was cool to see prototypes of The Smarter Scrubber on his desk.

A @play.date is fun for everyone 💛

There are a lot of important things to care about, but it would be nice to fix the "Add Profile" icon on @netflix.com. The horizontal bar has been mis-centered for years.
