Ralph Lauren’s limited-edition three-piece U.S. Postal Service capsule collection was designed in collaboration with USPS historians.

The new Utah 2034 logo is weird and divisive, but it's also genius. A temporary logo designed as a placeholder until the final emblem of the Games is released, it introduces shapes through typography that can be used as the building blocks of a full brand later www.yellopolitics.com/p/ok-ill-adm...

Happy 44th birthday to Miss @britneyspears ✨💐

Trump's campaign is upcharging for his Christmas merch and calling it a discount in emails to his mailing list: MAGA Merry Christmas hats that go for $28 on his site are being sold for $35 in emails, and 2026 calendars that go for $25 are being sold for $32 in emails.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S., and there’s a unique stigma around it. This new PSA from the Ad Council found a compelling way to get around that. www.yellopolitics.com/p/this-psa-c...

How the Harris campaign chose its fonts open.substack.com/pub/yello/p/... by @hunterschwarz.bsky.social

Former Vice President Kamala Harris’ 2024 campaign brand identity put typography at its center, and it was a decision made in large part out of necessity. Lasting just 107 days, there was time for little else. www.yellopolitics.com/p/how-the-ha...

The new Trump White House website uses Instrument Serif and Instrument Sans www.yellopolitics.com/p/heres-the-...

The first thing Kamala Harris did after returning to California was hand out free meals at a site run by World Central Kitchen and visit the L.A. County fire station that was the first to respond to the Eaton Fire: "Moments of crisis really do reveal the heroes among us."

kamalaharris dot com has been updated from a campaign site to a site for the office of Kamala D. Harris

Rep. Sarah McBride (D-Del.), the first transgender member of Congress in U.S. history, is also the first freshman Democrat to introduce a bill in the new Congress, and it's bipartisan: the Ending Scam Credit Repair Act w/ Rep. Young Kim (R-Calif.)

When Jimmy Carter ran for president in 1976, he had to reimagine what a campaign looked like. Post-Watergate reforms to limit money in politics meant he had to rely more on free earned media. Here's what politicians today can learn from Carter's example www.yellopolitics.com/p/what-we-ca...

“Wicked” director Jon Chu says Britney Spears will be “very involved” in the forthcoming biopic based on “The Woman In Me.” “I haven’t really started anything fully yet, but she will be very involved in this. I have ideas and things, an approach, but it’s very early.” deadline.com/2025/01/jon-...
