The LEGO Brick Sketches theme that was released in the summer of 2020 based on designs by Chris McVeigh who was hired by the LEGO group after posting numerous Brick Sketches to Flickr. Brick Sketches features 2-dimensional pictures with the initial release including two Star Wars and two DC Super Heroes sets.
2021 LEGO Sets
In 2021, LEGO explored digital-physical play with LEGO VIDIYO, a collaboration with Universal Music Group that let users create augmented-reality music videos using minifigures and collectible BeatBits. Although short-lived, the experiment reflected LEGO’s continued pursuit of hybrid play experiences. The LEGO Art series expanded with more display sets inspired by pop culture and design icons, strengthening LEGO’s appeal among adult builders. Established themes such as Star Wars, City, and Technic maintained momentum, while LEGO unveiled prototype bricks made from recycled materials—an early step toward fully sustainable production.
