Y2k and frutiger aero and transition between the two was the blast

Hey that's a nice ilustration!

[โ€“] yokonzo@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

I grew up in the 90s but I actually quite prefer aero design, idk, everything just felt so new and modern

[โ€“] A_Chilean_Cyborg@feddit.cl 8 points 5 months ago

All eras have some grace? But the best was art deco.

[โ€“] PacifistAlligator@lemmy.ml 7 points 5 months ago

Y2K is my number one. Memphis on the second place, frutiger aero on third. Flat design is on the last place because it sucks.

Y2k was a really exiting phase, but my nostalgia lives for the late 80s and early 90s. But who is the asshole who did neither include a C64, not an Amiga in this?

Frutiger and Y2K for sure

[โ€“] FangedWyvern42@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Frutiger Aero is my favourite.

Tbh I kinda like flat design if done tastefully and within a confined scope, but that Alegria/Globo Homo bullshit from evil corporations and the weird full plastic boxes of nothing can rightly go to the dump.

I will hate the decade though for its prevalence of the bland beige and off-white interior design.

The Nintendo Switch theme is the most boring shit I have ever seen in a recent handheld... At least it can be improved if you have it hacked... But 3DS were much better, anytime I open it up and the Phoenix Wright or Hotel Dusk BGM start to hit is the real deal!

I loved XP. Hope to see more linux layouts like that.

I like the 2015-2024 design

[โ€“] trslim@pawb.social 5 points 5 months ago

Aero is my favorite. I think it looks nice

[โ€“] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

No love for paleolithic design?

Best aesthetic is Cassette Futurism

I'm between frutiger aero and Y2K

[โ€“] FireWire400@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Translucent electronics FTW

[โ€“] Amon_366@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Frutiger with the first 3Ds wins everything for me

I'd say that it was the 80s, because most types of art peaked in 1984 (in terms of cultural significance).

I'd say PS2 belongs in flat design, even if it falls outside the dates they think: its design language was ahead of its time

[โ€“] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 8 points 5 months ago

And the PS5 isn't really flat design, especially compared to the current Xbox.
