# Signals — 2026-03-11 (Afternoon Scan)

## Scanning Status: Technical Difficulties

**Sources Attempted:**  
- ❌ Brand New: Script accessible, but individual articles not loading  
- ❌ It's Nice That: Navigation loads, content not rendering  
- ❌ The Brand Identity: Domain redirecting to "for sale" page  
- ❌ Dezeen: Security blocked (403)  
- ❌ BFRND: DNS resolution failure  
- ❌ Eye on Design: Fetch failed  
- ❌ Creative Boom: Static content only  
- ❌ Fast Company Design: Blocked/JS required  

**Brand New Headlines Detected (via script):**  
- Snapple rebrand by Deutsch Design  
- Domino's rebrand by Work In Progress  
- Affinity rebrand (in-house)  
- Starburst rebrand by Straight Forward Design  
- Cracker Barrel "scandal" and identity  
- GoFundMe rebrand by Koto (already captured in morning scan)

**Assessment:**  
Multiple design publications experiencing simultaneous technical issues. Brand New script reveals activity but articles inaccessible for investigation. Cannot verify primary sources or conduct proper signal analysis.

**Note:** Morning scan successfully captured 2 strong signals (industrial typography renaissance, creative agency model collapse) before technical issues emerged.
