Reading this article and (remarkably) its comments is fun: https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/08/the-new-instagram-logo-is-the-perfect-embodiment-of-ai-slop/ I mean, I do create an occasional icon containing text. I know some issues to watch for but I am by no means a designer, so I probably do a rather bad job. Reading how people perceive this hack job of a logo is remarkably helpful, I’ve learned a few new things to avoid. Also, it helps boost my self-esteem – my icons may not be great, but at least I’m not a multi-billion dollar company.
