This is so good! I have AI turned off on Notion but I love the lil guy and his wavy eyebrows and it's fascinating to see the stages you went through to get to it. The 'error' expression is heartbreaking!
Wow. I was just this moment telling a collegue that - though I have zero interest in using AI assistants etc, there's just "something about the new Notion face that makes me feel good/want to interact with it". Makes sense when somebody whos work I so admire is the one behind the design. Please do tell Notion that you've converted somebody who was strictly "I do not want to touch these things, at all" to diving in because of the strength of your design.
Also very cool to see the pages of work-in-progress.
ALSO - when thinking about shape, legibility, seeing 'tooth' next to 'brain' felt like an important moment.
Really look forward to your newsletters. Thank you for writing them!

Hah yea, had to fight a bit to have the more abstract stuff in but once it was animated, everything fell together.
This was so fun to read, thank you for sharing your process!
So cool seeing the process of designing that face! Always been perplexed by how much mouthless designs can express.
Fantastic work, loved seeing the process. Sorry some have turned this into drama, but quality work will rise above all that.

Thank you! I’ve actually never used it myself and still have all Ai turned off everywhere.
