Finding the Origins of Popular Frutiger Aero Images (ft. kylie boggly) 

Same. I wasn't a youngster at that time (rather, in my 30s), so I have no optimistic visions of youth associated with the aesthetic. But I'm tired of the flatness of minimal design, too.

Right??? Im over here like how can we get Windows to give us back Vista and Win 8 in 2021 but with the same performance

... Jesus Christ saves He had mercy on me he can save all who all seek him today He made away through calvery repent of all sins today Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today Holy Spirit can give you peace purpose and joy and his will today John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

It's still cheesy and the new minimalist look we have today tops everything

Yeah but also obvious

@@sweetsunnyvibes Okay, thanks for the input

I feel like it also fits a lot of other aesthetics though. Y2K is a great example.

I always said "promised future that was taken from us"))

@@SasuKrowwhat does y2k mean I’ve seen it everywhere yet I don’t know its meaning

On a bright note, the future doesn't turn out like the 1950s retro-futuristic "World of Tomorrow", the 1980s neon dystopian mega slums, or the 2000s overly bright aesthetic with advanced technology and AI but still dystopian. This "future" is not perfect, but at least we're making progress (though humanity's reach for off-world colonies is surprisingly slow).

It might not be a mega slum because birth rates are low, but much of the world looks like a slum regardless right now

Technically, your never living in the future when the future is now.

Oh, so you 2000s kids like Frutiger Aero for the same reason us 90s kids like Cassette Futurism I guess. Makes sense.

Same bro. Born in 94 so this really makes sense. Lots of people werent old enough to experience this as a kid/young teen so they dont get it. I can only imagine this is how kids in the 80s felt

That sucks, I love frutiger aero

@@bruceleesmilkytiddies Me too but sadly its not used in software anymore

@@ligondesenuts769 It's definitely sad on the one hand, but also very welcome on the other hand. Minimalist design is generally much more accessible to those with vision impairment, for example.

Unless we do something about it!

@@winglessfairy564 I think its a little impossible unless we do something a revival like Vaporwave

Yes on my school diary also this asthetic used to be there but slowly it disappeared and modern or simple cover started to come. Now I am in college but i miss that school aero vibes

Hey its you

You are such a legend. Love your stuff. I really wish I could even meet you one day lmao

Ayyyy ur that one person

The intro really takes me back to the good days, the better days really ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ

I love this guy

SAME! I felt like a kid again :).

yeah i know what u mean, I used to feel like I was in a dream world when I was in frutiger aero offices lol

100% authentic?

Omg where

the orthodontists office i went to as a kid had this down to a T, with fake palm trees and a real aquarium. During the summer they used to do movie showings on their front yard too. It doesn’t exist anymore though which makes me sad.

Ikr

y2k and fa are 2 seperate asthetics.

Its all to do with the time, give it a couple years and people will be nostalgic for the oversimplification and adhd inducing aesthetics of today.

@@Lpkiwiprobably around 2030-40s.

the 2000s was like the 90s but better

I actually rediscovered this aesthetic while visiting a hospital! Very crisp feeling ! I haven’t seen this much since Elementary/ early middle school but it was definitely my childhood! Have a blessed day y’all!

I'd say the best 2 are XP and 7, cause Vista sucks and 7 keeps the theme but works much better

​@@zannierzan9634Vista sucks unless you've installed service pack on it.

​@@zannierzan9634by the time 7 came out, vista was already pretty much fixed. It was pretty much a new skin for vista.

@@xXSaulGoodmanXxwomp womp

@@user-bw2pn6dz7x did you just say womp womp?

That’s a really interesting thought. It’s like we’ve finally arrived at what we thought, but it doesn’t fully feel like what we envisioned.

Messy and plastic is exactly how I'd describe it. Also, cheap - a lot of default icons for sketchy websites had the same XP-esque design language.

Yes, companies at the time didn't care much about consistent design languages, so the whole frutiger aero thing was offensively messy.

Yes, especially in the Vista era when PCs were still made for the Y2K-esque XP. I'm sure people will look at the uber flat boring designs that followed positively in the next decade or two.

Jello

Me

Yoo

hello, my vapour wave lost media friend

Cool colab.

collab with Jaden Salads! soon? ❤

I think this is the DSI one

@@doni7895yeah I think you’re right, such a hood classic

This song is the DSi Photo Channel

Few of these are from 3DS settings

@@sunnyfon9065 oh true lol i only watched like 1 minute of this video

Omg exactly what I was thinking about I had them too

they're still available to buy online look them up! i found one for myself & im so excited to order it

I think I used to have one of those also! It was a Discovery Kids one, and this video was making me think of it!

They are still a thing. I believe their call fish lamps. Be careful though because apparently they are fire hazards even the new models are

I still have mine and it still works!! I used to watch the fish in the lamp for a long time until I inevitably got told to put it off to prevent it from getting too hot lmao. Good times.

Yoooo, is that THE emobunny that made an appearance in one of ShaiiValley's Frutiger Aero videos?

If to you "Design trends now are just draft, or lazy designing" you clearly know nothing about the process when it comes to actual graphic design projects. It's just nostalgia talking.

@@piquetot2795 agreed, some ppl just don’t know anything about modern designes yet still spread shit about it. although modern design ahem… DESIGNED to be as easy and intuitive as possible. and i’m the same age with this person, but still i studied design and i understand why it is the way it is and i love it. i was a kid too when all this aesthetics were on top, and i always thought it’s overcomplicated for no reason, although it looks very nostalgic now. it’s just incompetent and naive to say “ughh nowdays they make lazy designs oof”

i agree they gotta be intuitive and easy to understand but shit, everything is literally too simple now and look alike, almost as if they're made by some AI. but still not hating on it tho, I'm pretty sure in the future someone's gonna miss the current design style we have now, it happens with every era after all ​@@demihau

@@costaskl6589 did you ever try to think independently from brainwashing memes about how now everything is oversimplified? i bet you either not, or you have a bad taste. that’s all.

@@demihau and you got good taste right miss?

what’s his name

Christian Lassen I think? If it's not his work it's extremely similar. My mom had a print of one of his orca paintings, and I had notebooks in gradeschool with his art on them

Oh I just got to the part in the video lol. I was right

I’m dying 😂 this is hilarious

What?

@@userx8r It brings me good memories

@@userx8ru don’t know the dsi 💀

@@userx8r88, lol

I adore it

If anything, there should be a DVD effect, as DVDs were still popular at least early into the era.

Было забавно наблюдать упоминание России в видео

It's always a depressing experience to visit those sberbank offices. Typically it's a somewhat dimly lit space with warm lighting and when you walk in there you see all those confused elderly people sitting on sofas and low wage bank tellers with dark circles under their eyes... you just feel empty afterwards. But yeah that picture from the video actually looks cool, it reminds me of mirror's edge 2008.

​@@tedneverпричем два раза, я так понял у нас в принципе очень любят фрутигер и близкие к нему стили ну и да, отвечаю поздновато, сорри

Even the internet has changed from a free and open global platform to a locked-down tool controlled by a cartel of mega corporations who have corrupted it with surveillance capitalism

So true yet so sad😢

1:17 is also sberbank!!! haha

Fr. Old Sberbank office design is so much better. It was always so refreshing to go there

but i think maybe it's the combination of stock photos and all the white highlights and gradients, that obviously looks very fake especially with all the vibrant colours that throws me off. it also looks really overly modern/futuristic. it's still a neat aesthetic though

Also yes, they are now pivoting from just bank services to one of the largest tech companies in Russia: they have their own marketplace, delivery services, smart home stuff including Alexa-like assistants, AI developments and so on and so on.

Yes, many FA fans are gen Z. Windows 7 and 8 wallpapers had a lot of FA, and I guess our love for it is somewhat nostalgia-based. It certainly is for me :)

@@piss7610 It's funny because I'm in between the two of you (among the youngest Millennials, just before Gen Z) and I also feel like I'm in-between the two of you in how I feel about Frutiger Aero. It is extremely nostalgic to me, but not necessarily in a positive way. I associate it with the time period right around the time I was becoming a young teenager, so it reminds me of a more innocent time, but I was already old enough at that point that I preferred "cooler" aesthetics to FA, which always felt very corporate to me.

I think it's just nostalgia, people be nostalgic about the most random stuff, I HATED the aesthetic and still do. I even see some posts nowadays glorifying the coronavirus pandemic like no wtf

​@@BarnabyTheEpicDoggothat's me. I'm aware I was pretty lucky all things considered bar not being able to see my fam and having to stay in my 12sq m room all day. But in the initial stages of the pandemic there was for the most part a sense of togetherness and bonding through a common experience I'd very rarely witnessed in my life. Funny how the later stages turned into the opposite of this with the return, and increase of social fragmentation

So this is not nostalgia for the pandemic itself but for that feeling I guess

The Earth Emoji already feels Frutiger Aero.

i was surprised from it,but not scared i found them weird of how they looked so real yet it looks like it's obviously fake

whhaaaatt? no way, it was always so refreshing and comforting to look at

Yeah same! Same as those weird nautical paintings from that one guy. There's often so much stuff, so many colors and so many effects crammed into one place in these Frutiger images. Combined with the things you mentioned, it's so weirdly stressful/unnerving to look at. I always hated the Aquatic/Frutiger Aero wallpapers on XP/7 for that reason, they fucking scared me lol. I still love the aesthetic though, it's very nostalgic and uniquely charming. The uncanny-ness just adds to the charm in my opinion, much like with liminal spaces. I would consider Frutiger Aero to be a liminal aesthetic in itself.

It may make someone feel uneasy not just because it’s a little uncanny, but because the world just doesn’t look like that. But it makes people feel calm BECAUSE the world doesn’t look like that. Like a fresh escape. For me, the aesthetic is.

i remember liking it but i can definitely understand where your coming from. viewing the images now just fills me with this vast emptyness i can’t explain. like i’m longing for the past

Alucard pfp ?!?1!?1!1?!?

curioso. si tá bien ¿donde vivís?

It’s spelt, “Asadal Design”, guess I have to help myself.

No shit i guessed it. The writing on the upper right side of this photo looked czech, so my guess was czechia or slovakia. Big Polish W The image im talking about is at 16:56
