(whew) still catching my breath from last week’s #Config2023 😅 I’m really, really proud of the @figma Brand Studio team. 😊 Months of hard work for two special days! Some quick notes on the brand…

Now that @figma #config2022 is a wrap, I wanted to briefly share how the branding came together. It was the 4th Config—my first—however I’m not a stranger to design conference branding (hello Schema and 7 @googledesign SPAN events).

Never trust an Agency Designer / Director's portfolio. Especially if they fail to mention any of the following: 🚩 Their own individual contribution 🚩 The rest of the team 🚩 The illustrator(s) they hired 🚩 The smaller agency they hired to do the work

Early on we circled around visual language motifs. The primacy of pictograms emerged as this wonderfully universal and accessible idea to begin sketching. We flipped the typical purpose of pictograms from wayfinding or signposting to instead be the primary expression.

This ephemeral quality of an event brand opens up the approach to be bold and opinionated. The challenge is in quickly establishing something that's recognizable across many surfaces that doesn’t create visual fatigue before the actual event.

Lots of Handwriting Scripts exist. However we needed a typeface dialed to the brand AND optimized for the product. Expressive, but legible. Opinionated, but universal. How might attributes like speed and confidence inform character construction?
