Uber 77 Things
2019

-

In 2018, Uber unveiled a new brand positioning and a comprehensive visual identity system. To coincide with this launch, Michael Gough, Uber's Head of Design, authored the book "77 Things." This book presents 77 design principles aimed at those working with Uber Design and individuals aspiring to collaborate with Uber's design team.

The book served as a platform to explore the boundaries of Uber's fresh visual identity system, particularly showcasing examples of how to leverage the specially crafted typographic family designed for Uber. The book's design was directly inspired by its content, maintaining a consistent pattern and rule-based approach throughout.
