A slight movement, the tension of a finger, the position of a hand – and the whole feeling of a painting changes 👀

Stefhany Y Lozano makes hands the protagonist of her work, letting gesture and posture say what faces usually would. Born in Bogotá and now based in Germany, she's shown from the Saatchi Gallery to galleries across Colombia, Spain and Mexico.

The bits of a neighbourhood you'd usually walk straight past – fences, traffic cones, a patch of park – become quietly beautiful in Naruhiko's oil paintings 👀

The Osaka-based artist paints the ordinary streets he walks every day, leaving just enough out for you to fill in your own memories.

How do you rebrand a museum with 4.5 million objects that people still couldn't place? You build its identity out of the city itself 👀

Stan Hema has turned Berlin's Stadtmuseum into the Berlin Museum, with a flexible wordmark drawn from everyday Berlin – U-Bahn signs, iconic buildings, even the local currywurst stand.

Mismatched letters, coral, lime and sky blue, and a tiny arrow made of crosses. Direct, a bit stubborn, very Berlin.

Memphis, Devo and Barbara Kruger, all poured into a bottle of non-alcoholic prosecco 👀

Heaps Normal has launched High Hopes, its first w**e, and the design is joyful, loud and unmistakably punk – acid yellow, sky blue, bubblegum pink and a tagline that reads 'Aim Higher'.

The team calls it defiant optimism, and it's a lovely reminder that non-alc doesn't have to whisper.

Johnson Banks took the little green plastic toy soldier we all remember – and recast the children 👀

For IWM London's Childhood in War, the studio reimagined kids in that same moulded green plastic. Familiar and unsettling at the same time.

It's the UK's first exhibition on how war shapes young lives, from the First World War to today – and it's free until 28 February 2027.

Emma Giacalone recreates retro food packaging in free-motion machine embroidery, then swaps the branding for warm, colloquial messages – 'Alright Treacle', 'Good Egg', 'You Are Gold'.

She calls them care labels for the soul. Slow, handmade, and a lovely antidote to a throwaway world.

How do you make a bank feel confident on screen – without a single shot of stacked cash? 👀

Brighton studio Buff Motion built a whole motion identity for Starling: 16 vertical films that turn budgeting, saving and debt tools into proper little stories. As CD Tom Allen puts it, Starling's brand "isn't built around wealth. It's built around confidence."

Restrained, warm and smartly done.

Wild People rebranded a garden-room company around the one thing you can't add in square metres: headspace 👀

The Bristol studio built Little Green Rooms' new identity around escape and sanctuary, not timber and dimensions. They even worked from inside an actual garden room for the whole project, letting the light and landscape shape every decision.

A calm, clever, beautifully considered rebrand.

A stiff Victorian courtship drama, yanked mid-scene into a neon arcade 👀

Tinder's new "Dump Traditional Dating" campaign, made with Jellyfish, launches its Double Date feature by making the old rules of romance look gloriously daft. The idea: dating hasn't evolved, but Gen Z has – so why not bring your mates along?

Cleverly done, and genuinely funny.

Elongated heads, dancers, flowers and fruit, all painted on wooden panels he builds himself 👀

Meet Joseph Carway, the South Norfolk artist whose folk-like, symbolic paintings in enamel grew out of a lifelong love of tattooing (he first tattooed himself at 13).

He distresses each surface so it looks gently aged, and hopes you'll find it all "a bit stupid and jovial".
