Corporations just seem to be getting more and more abstract... Here's my ✨ amazing ✨ (non-complete) list:

  • Oversimplification of logos (*cough* *cough* Firefox killing our fox)
  • Corporate Memphis (that big tech, supper flat, indestiguishable art style)
  • Websites (everything is either a bento box, image carousel, or loaded up with scroll-based animations -- or all of these)
  • Names (Facebook is now Meta, Twitter is becoming X)

Firefox still has the fox:

I think he mistakenly referred to the firefox group of things like the password manager, the browser still has the fox logo

Yeah, that’s my bad.

Corporate Memphis is just the worst. I dunno why but it gives me heavy dystopian connotations.

It kooks like children were forced to design corporate logos in ms paint.

Appropriate that this album is from the late 90s, which is when the X name would have actually been cool.

Oh yeah, that reminds me of IAMX

The google redesign was the worst. I still haven't gotten used to it and doubt I ever will.

The new logos are an acessibility nightmare. How does a stupid and unnecessary redesign like this gets approved?

[–] arghya_333@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Those logos were so good.

X was ahead of the game, but now everyone is quickly jumping onboard. I'll be changing my username to 's' as soon as I finish typing this. /s
