Who saw that coming? Adobe just announced the acquisition of Figma for $20 billion! It's being called a 'new era of collaborative creativity', but what does it really mean? Dylan Field explained on twitter, followed by plenty of serious thought from the design community...but let's face it, we're here for the memes! Let's go:

There's always one that doesn't age well 😉:

Our goal is to be Figma not Adobe

Meme: You were the chosen one Figma! It was said that you would destroy the Adobe, not join them.

Adobe Figma Quit Unexpectedly

Just force quit, memory is running out:

Mac's 'Force Quite Applications' modal with 'Adobe Figma 2023' at the top
Martin Rariga: "Got an early beta sneak peek of next year @Adobe @figma release. Stay tuned!"

Distracted?

Designers looking back to Sketch:

But what about XD, Adobe?

Greg Lewis: Has anyone thought about what @AdobeXD must be going through right now? @figma @Adobe

Figma CC

How will it fit with the Creative Cloud suite? 😛

Pedro Marques: Wow my app already updated! that was fast!

Classic Drake meme on the scene:

We've not forgotten Figjam:

natty @JNad: "Just please don't let it come to this"

Looks good in the dock?

And let's add a new promo video (by @buzzyrobot):

This promo video I made with @figma @Adobe . Great news guys! - @buzzyrobot


Some serious thoughts:

Congrats to you and the team. I love to see an exit for so many employees. That’s a life changing moment for them.

— Daniel Destefanis (@daniel__designs) September 15, 2022

I think a lot of designers backed Figma in the early days because it wasn’t Adobe. So I suspect a lot of designers are feeling slightly let down and betrayed about now.

Figma CEO blocked me!

Michal was blocked for his opinions on Figma, let's listen to more:


Let's recap!

Long story short:

Dylan Field tweet saying
@geoppls: "Short story"


Have a nice day!

Hope you enjoyed this curation, and remember to read this before taking advice from twitter design gurus that comment on the acquisition 😜.

One of the best article i've read in a long time. How can you be so accurate @robdiazzz? I am a "Liker Retweeter" for now, currently working on becoming a "List Maker" 👀. https://t.co/lDn64XpgKr
