Carbon Design System aka [Carbon](https://www.carbondesignsystem.com) is how the IBM Design Language is implemented across IBM products. Choosing Carbon as the strategic solution for Carbon for IBM.com ensures IBM has one consolidate design system across product and web. Carbon for IBM.com works alongside Carbon to produce components, patterns and guidelines to leverage IDL for IBM.com’s more expressive nature.

### What happened to Duo?

“Duo” was the codename for the redesign and revamp of the IBM Design Ethos and Language. This effort is still being carried out today throughout all of IBM Design. The new IBM Design Ethos and Language is directly influencing the evolution of Carbon for IBM.com.

### When will v18 (Northstar) be sunset?

Northstar is in steady state now. This means no new enhancements and will only be updated for security patches. It will remain in place through 2022 with limited support but adopters are encouraged to make plans to migrate to Carbon for IBM.com as soon as possible. In 2019, it was announced that Carbon is the overall strategic direction for IBM web and product experiences.
