Ah, the marketing department had to justify their existence, didn't they?

with AI on the rise of course they do. In our sister company they now axed the whole marketing department and introduced their stupid idea to do everything with ai...

Downscaling as bad as it sounds, makes sense but to dissolve the entire department??? I am guessing someone on top thinks he can just ask chatgpt to make a photo with a shit prompt, post it on social media during his break and its gonna actually work.

[–] avater@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

that was his idea.

A month later they needed some UI designs so the CEO came with an urgent task to my team and I told him to fuck off and leave my team alone and that he should ask chat gpt for some designs...

I assume they've already replaced the CEO with an AI before they replaced the workers, right? That should be the easiest to swap out because any AI generated mistakes would be caught by the people doing the work just like we've always done with CEO generated mistakes.

The hand can be used to fondle the balls or tickle the asshole.

They made the logo more complicated and playfull. Is the long awaited counter-trend train to ultimate minimalism finally leaving the station? I certainly can't wait!

It's pretty cool how they documented the design change. I thought the 2013-2023 version looked the best but I gotta admit that the new one looks pretty slick when it's combined with the cover art.

I really agree. As quick as I am to be cynical about low-impact press releases from a conglomerate, I do find it interesting to read through design changes and the symbolic meaning in branding.

It looks blurry like it hasn't loaded properly.

You need HD Textures dlcs for that

I really thought they were going to distance themselves from the unfortunate use of a hand to represent the name frostbite.

Great work, guys.
