I wanted Arteta replaced after the Wolves draw. Then Arsenal beat Spurs 4–1 at White Hart Lane… and suddenly I remembered healing exists.
Football fans won’t admit this, but our opinions change with results. Mine definitely did.
I broke down why Wolves pushed me into “Arteta Out,” why Spurs pulled me back, and who I genuinely think could replace him if the Barcelona rumours ever become real.
Be honest:
Arteta In or Arteta Out today?

Should Arsenal Replace Mikel Arteta?
I’m not even going to pretend I’m consistent. I had this sentiment after the Wolves draw, which we almost won. And thank God I’m writing it after the 4–1 win at Spurs on Sunday, 22 February 2026.

Refreshing my portfolio and revisiting one of my favorite projects from 2025 🧡💙
Bilsoft has made accounting software for over 20 years, and 100,000+ businesses use it every day. When we started, the trust was there, but the brand had grown piece by piece until it looked like several different companies.
The tricky part was a tension most fintech brands face. The software has to feel precise and serious, but the people using it are small business owners who just want things to be simple. So I drew the wordmark on a strict grid and softened every corner. The name does the rest: “Bil” means knowing, “Soft” means steady. Then I built it into a system the team could use without a designer in the room.
While putting the case study together, I added something new: a motion piece where the logo builds itself letter by letter.
Curious how others here handle this: when a client’s product is serious but their users want simple, which way do you lean? 👇

Niiiiice 🔥
Starting on Contra with zero reviews and zero client history.
My plan to land client #1:
→ Publish clearly labeled concept projects
→ Pitch a few local businesses with spec redesigns of their sites
→ Share the process, not just the final visuals
Designers who landed their first client here: what actually moved the needle for you? Portfolio, outreach, or something else?
I'd love to learn from your experience.
Best of Luck
