MDS supports All The Way Brand Refresh

Updated visual design language, new themes, and more!
26 June 2025

In alignment with Corportate Branding and Brandcentral, we’re pleased to announce that the Maersk Design System now fully supports the All The Way Brand Refresh!

This comprehensive update has been applied across the entire product, from Figma and code to what you see on the MDS website.

Automatic updates for designers

For designers using the MDS UI library, these changed will be applied to your new and existing designs when you update the library.

Once updated, simply continue using the components and you’ll benefit from the refreshed visual design language.

Developer updates

For developers, this update will be available when you upgrade to version 2.126.0.

We recommend reading the change log and plan your upgrade to take advantage of the new improvements.

Enhanced visual design language

We’ve introduced a new visual design language for colour roles and corner radius. You can read more about these in our design language section.

Updated buttons

The neutral filled button has been given a makeover to match the other filled buttons. This update makes it easier to differentiate the various neutral button variants and adds more options for your designs.

The secondary filled button for Maersk themes is now accessible and officially supported and the secondary plain button has been redesigned to match our primary link styling 🎉.
