Initially crafted by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and co-founder Ilya Sutskever, the redesign was executed by an internal team led by Veit Moeller and Shannon Jager, reported Wallpaper. This transformation is designed to project a “more organic and more human” image.

The AI startup has also launched a new typeface, OpenAI sans, which merges geometric precision with a rounded, inviting character. For example, the wordmark’s “O” features a perfectly round exterior and an imperfect interior, aiming to counter robotic precision, according to Moeller.

When questioned about the role of AI tools like ChatGPT in the design process, Moeller said that the team used AI to calculate type weights.
