The State of AI in Design Report 2026 explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping the design industry, bringing together research, data and case studies from leading companies including Notion, Sierra, Framer, Linear, Anthropic, Shopify and Stripe. Produced by Foundation Capital and Designer Fund, the annual report examines the evolving relationship between AI, creativity and design practice.

For the 2026 edition, hellohello developed a distinctive visual identity that reflects both the report’s subject matter and its growing ambition. At its core is a typographic logo designed as a flexible system, expanding and compressing to adapt across formats. Geometric typography, bold colour, pattern, motion and data visualisation create an expressive visual language for complex ideas. Across the website, editorial design, branding and digital experience, these elements work together as a cohesive identity, connecting the established language of previous editions with the rapidly changing world of AI and design.
