A thoroughly reported and beautifully written story on the @ChooseCopi initiative by @Knibbs at @WIRED. Many thanks to Kate and Wired for doing such a great job on a complex and important set of problems and solutions. A must-read! wired.com/story/copi-invasiv…
I went to Chicago's Calumet Fisheries a few months ago and noticed a poster on the wall advertising a fish I'd never heard of, "Copi." Turns out it's at the center of a campaign to save the Great Lakes and the revitalize midwestern fishing industry wired.com/story/copi-invasiv…

A male Downy Woodpecker arrives at the Hand of Snacks and is promptly joined by the Queen, a Northern Cardinal. She will not be rushed in her selection. A Tufted Titmouse grabs a suet nugget after the Downy departs.

“Copi’s top-notch new branding could not be more different than its original connotations.” Thank you @AIGAeyeondesign & @jpksure for such a thoroughly reported piece on the Copi rebranding. It's great to read a thoughtful consideration of the role of design in our society.
A design studio has “rebranded” carp. But can a fish be a brand? — ✍️ by @jpksure >> aigaeod.co/copi

Hi @RightFontApp We just had our @Dropbox business account run an update, and now our shared font library is missing from the app. Opening the library doesn’t fix the issue. Any tips?
