In a blog post, Google announced that it has collaborated with artist Mathilde Loubes to create a group of new Farsight faces called Seasonal. Along with this collaboration, the company is also rolling out three other new Farsight face styles: Minimal mode, Nest classic, and Temperature controller. These four new face styles will join the existing Farsight faces, which include the digital and analog clock, weather, and indoor temps.
The Seasonal Farsight face style includes 12 unique illustrations. Each illustration features an animated picture of a flower or fruit in Loubes’ art style. Which illustration you get changes after each month passes. For example, you’ll see a pumpkin in October and a snow-covered pine cone in December.
Along with the Seasonal face, we’re getting a blast from the past with the Nest classic face. This face is designed to be a throwback to the original Nest Thermostat. There’s also the Minimal mode faces, which show cooling, heating, and eco modes in a minimalist, animated art style. Temperature controller is the final new face, which allows for quick, at-a-glance adjustments.
To access these new Farsight faces, you’ll need to go into your thermostat settings. This can be done by pressing the thermostat ring, twisting the ring to Settings and pressing to select. From there, select Farsight and you should be able to scroll through the available faces.
