OpenAI has transformed from a research lab into a global tech powerhouse, and now it finally has a visual identity that reflects its rapid evolution. With millions using its AI tools weekly, the company has overhauled its branding to create a more unified, forward-thinking image.
This major redesign introduces a new typeface, OpenAI Sans, a refined version of its signature “blossom” logo, and a modernized color palette. The goal is to balance cutting-edge AI with a human touch—an approach led by Head of Design Veit Moeller and Design Director Shannon Jager. Alongside the fresh visuals, OpenAI has also introduced an interactive element called the “Emotive Point,” a dynamic pulsing disc that represents real-time AI interactions.
ChatGPT, OpenAI’s most well-known product, has undergone multiple upgrades since its launch in 2022. The company has also developed Sora, an AI that generates text, images, and video, and continues pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence. However, despite its innovation, OpenAI’s branding remained inconsistent—until now.
The redesign brings structure to every aspect of the company’s presentation, from its research papers to user interfaces. A grid-based system now informs the overall aesthetic, while new brand imagery blends photography with AI-generated textures from Sora. Even OpenAI’s internal merch—previously so popular that employees hacked the system to get extras—is getting a fresh look.
