Thank you, @jina and @vlh 💙 Jina and Val are becoming chairs emerita of the Design Tokens Community Group. Jina coined “design tokens” (with Jon Levine), helped start the group, and built our first site. Val shaped how the group operates & meets. w3.org/community/desi…
A few years ago I designed the original logo for @DesignTokens. Recently they asked me to refresh it: simpler, more versatile, and blue (the original color of links). The new logo builds on the old one, keeping the connected core while refining it for any size or use.
Stoked that Figma is shipping native design tokens import/export using the DTCG format! One more step in standardizing design tokens across tools. Figma's announcement: figma.com/blog/schema-20… And check out the latest version of the spec here: designtokens.org/tr/2025.10/
💬 Request For Comments New Resolver specification, groups & Aliases updates 👇 w3.org/community/desi…
Hats off to the @penpotapp team for this monumental implementation of design tokens in their open-source design tool 🥳
Importing & Exporting Tokens (JSON) Learn how to smoothly import and export tokens as JSON files in Penpot. And also, how Penpot manages invalid tokens and ensures easy collaboration between design and code.
Naming design tokens is easy. Until you have to name them.
In progress: Modes + Resolvers spec. This will enable theming.
Color spec updates in review: - Color Module - First Draft github.com/design-tokens/… - Color format adjustments github.com/design-tokens/…
Hope everyone’s new year is off to a good start! 🧵 A thread of some recent DTCG news:
We’ve been quiet over the past few months, but we’re still active! In fact, breakthroughs were made in our latest spec meetings and we can’t wait to share more... Massive thanks to the community for their understanding, these things take time 🙏🏻
@jimmy_morris Hey Jimmy – we’re still active ❤️ Our focus is on native modes and theming support, a *big* undertaking 😓 (see github.com/design-tokens/…) Recently, @TokensStudio and Cobalt joined our spec meetings and are already bringing amazing fresh ideas ✨ More on this very soon!

Store your design tokens in W3C DTCG compatible format. Coming soon to Tokens Studio 🚀 @DesignTokens
New video! 📢 Learn how to use W3C @DesignTokens with Style Dictionary and @lukasoppermann's Style Dictionary Utils to turn your design system tokens into CSS assets. #DesignSystems #DesignTokens #W3C #DTCG youtu.be/RcxP0RePlVU
Reflecting on ~4 years of @DesignTokens ahead of our upcoming all-hands meeting: 400+ participants from all over tech, media, e-commerce, and financial services🤯
A quick update: the team is taking a break and will regroup in early 2024. Enjoy the holidays, everyone!
I envision the same world but an even broader one. A design API that would power tokens and assets everywhere within an org design system. Tokens and assets should navigate freely between teams and tools.
Why is this exciting? Personally, I can see a world where we manage cross functional variables with Figma + JSON, feeding them into tools where our XFN teams work JSON ↔️ Figma ↪️ Photoshop for brand work ↪️ InDesign for print work ↪️ After Effects for video work
On behalf of @designtokens: We’re looking to update and refresh designtokens.org. We've got some educational resources planned, but would love to hear what else y'all would like to see included. What would be most useful to you? We’d love to hear your feedback!
