Is "responsive" the new buzzword for "things that change when you resize them"? I've been seeing it used an awful lot in web design as of the past few years, often rather vaguely as some sort of feature.

Never seen "Coke" in that classic font before. Is it new or perhaps particular to the US?

Isn't it on all the cans? http://lmgtfy.com/?q=coke+cola+can

If you actually looked through the images page you will find that when the single word "Coke" is used (most notably on the Diet Coke can, but also on occasional promotional items) it's in a much more modern serifed font, rather than the script font used for the classic Coca Cola logo.

Simple's logo has been designed with "responsiveness" in mind: the more space they have, the more complex their logo is.

For example on https://www.simple.com/, the logo in the header is simpler that the logo on the credit card.

They also show the 3 versions they use in a blogpost: https://www.simple.com/blog/simple-branding

Sometimes when people use terms they know the meaning behind them ;)

This is the original article which named the technique: http://alistapart.com/article/responsive-web-design/

Although the technique was being used earlier than May 25, 2010.

Adaptive Web Design (responsive but on server side, not client) is the other technique popular with websites aiming to support 96% of browsers well. Because it's impossible to do that nicely for mobile browsers.

Mobile first, offline first are the other two related terms you've likely heard. Meaning design for mobile first, or offline first.

Ish. It is the buzzword for "the same design works on a vast range of screen sizes and orientations". The fact that things rearrange dynamically as you resize your window on a desktop box is not the main target, the target is a design working equally well on your desktop, your table in both landscape and portrait, your much smaller phone, and so forth, so the designer doesn't need to maintain multiple versions of the…

In this particular case, could anyone explain how high pixel density and responsiveness would work together at the same time?
