Hi everyone,
We’ve been very busy at Flourish HQ in the last month, so there are lots of things to tell you about…
Fonts and branding
Every Flourish visualization now offers a selection of nice fonts. Choose a condensed font for a table, say, or something lively for a social post. Even better, Flourish enterprise customers can now get the whole system set up to match their branding guidlines with color palettes, styles, logos and custom fonts. Get in touch for more details.

New projects page
Lots of you have asked for better ways to browse and search your (ever-growing) project libraries. The new “My projects” page is here to help, with a search box, filters and sorting. It also has infinite scroll, so if you’ve got lots of projects to browse through you can just scroll down the page to load more.

Map improvements
The base maps that appear in templates such as Marker Map and Arc Map now offer multiple languages for place names. They also let you to toggle roads on and off, and also hide national boundaries – handy for doing visualizations that include disputed regions.
Many small improvements
We’ve made loads of small improvements across the tool and many templates. A few examples:
• Images are now supported in our interactive table
• The Survey template now has new label options and settings
• Slides now fade in and out when you change templates in a story
That’s probably enough for now! As always do press reply with any feedback, questions or ideas.
Best wishes,
Duncan and the Flourish team
