My cousin recommended this to me and it didn’t disappoint - I loved it.

Dylan Field, Figma’s CEO, shared a few thoughts on where design might be headed. Some of it feels obvious, but #6 and #8 stuck with me and I’m curious to come back to this in a few years and see what actually took shape.

One of those listen to on repeat kind of sets.
From Me 🎒
When Lee and I started MBLA, I wanted the logo to feel like something still in motion. A little playful. A little unfinished. Rough, layered, uneven—in a good way.
MBLA’s on pause for now while we focus on building Sunflower, but I ended up using our logo as the foundation of my experiments.
I pushed a few hundred variations through Midjourney and Visual Electric’s retexture tool. Some strange. Some beautiful. I’d follow one idea down a rabbit hole, then get pulled into something else entirely. It was hard to stop.
Work like this used to take weeks, sometimes months. Now you can get some rough concepts pretty quickly and ideate faster than ever before.
