A few years ago I designed the original logo for @DesignTokens. Recently they asked me to refresh it: simpler, more versatile, and blue (the original color of links). The new logo builds on the old one, keeping the connected core while refining it for any size or use.

Stoked that Figma is shipping native design tokens import/export using the DTCG format! One more step in standardizing design tokens across tools. Figma's announcement: figma.com/blog/schema-2025-dβ¦

I envision the same world but an even broader one. A design API that would power tokens and assets everywhere within an org design system.
Tokens and assets should navigate freely between teams and tools.
Why is this exciting?
Personally, I can see a world where we manage cross functional variables with Figma + JSON, feeding them into tools where our XFN teams work
JSON βοΈ Figma
βͺοΈ Photoshop for brand work
βͺοΈ InDesign for print work
βͺοΈ After Effects for video work

The next Design Systems Open Space is up and this month's topic is the new design tokens format module: What is it? Who's it for? When should we adopt it? What's my name? Who am I?

#w3c @DesignTokens are the future, but how can you start using them now? In my #article I describe a great way using @dbanksDesign #styleDictionary to build a pipeline that turns w3c #designTokens into #css or #js to use in your #designSystem.
