I was remarking the other day about how much character the main menus have on the Wii and Wii U, while the Switch is dead and lifeless

Y2k and frutiger aero and transition between the two was the blast
Hey that's a nice ilustration!
I grew up in the 90s but I actually quite prefer aero design, idk, everything just felt so new and modern
All eras have some grace? But the best was art deco.
Frutiger and Y2K for sure
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?

90s, BeOS
Y2K is my number one. Memphis on the second place, frutiger aero on third. Flat design is on the last place because it sucks.
agreed
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 like the 2015-2024 design
No love for paleolithic design?
Aero is my favorite. I think it looks nice
I loved XP. Hope to see more linux layouts like that.
Peak design was late 90s and 2000s, where you got to see the new crazy designs of a new era while 80s design still existed all around you prevalently. That fusion is peak nostalgia for me.
Translucent electronics FTW
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
And the PS5 isn't really flat design, especially compared to the current Xbox.
I'd say that it was the 80s, because most types of art peaked in 1984 (in terms of cultural significance).
