Heya,
Another quick one this week with AI designed logos at the top of the list. If you like dark patterns, then the canine high-five is the cutest way to manipulate your way to more likes.
For retro movie fans, I found a Robocop typeface that'll make your day. If you're more into horror then a true account of how Silicon Valley financing works will haunt your dreams for weeks.
ENjoy,
Chris
