I remember reeeeally disliking this as a kid. it always had to be all over pencil cases, folders, messenger bags, shirts, toys... all that would have been better without it in my child mind! Loved Frutiger Aero, but I don't think I noticed it as much as this one.

It was kind of patronising... oldies telling kids "we're cool look at the funky graphics, this will make you want to learn", maybe it was aimed at the sad parents buying it - thinking it was cool?

sony ericsson phones in the last 2010s has a lot of frutiger metro design in their advertisements and also their wallpapers. The paint splat combining with speaker artwork fits pretty well on walkman phones back in the day.

Oh yeah... this aesthetic kinda killed the Windows phone didn't it? MS really hyped up the UX - google took it to the next level with the Material design system, a whole new level.of flatness. Great video mate, I remember those text books!

I used to watch public television (PBS kids America) when I was a kid (around 2008 to the mid to late 2010s) there were a lot of shows back then that used that style. Even books from bookfairs back in the day

i kinda prefer frutiger metro over aero. the reason for that is simply the idea behind it. aero was desinged around teaching non tech aff people whats what, luring them in. the ones, that werent interest in it 5 years prior. but the ones company wanted as costumers for money. but "welcoming" lead to a change in internet culture and society. frutiger aero, to me, marks the point of "the internet for everyone" rathen the "the internet for the ones that are interested". its no reason to hate the design because of that, i still find it nice to look at, but the thing that lasted for me with this design, is what i wrote above, everything else faded away. maybe its due to my age, as someone born in 85, i grew up with memphis and sorts

As someone who lived through all this and never liked it, I'm glad it's gone. Deff more of a fan of 80s and 90s aesthetics. That being said. I hate the minimalist designs companies are going with today. Everything is drab and bland. My example is all the fast food chains. Look no further than your local McDonalds and Burger King to see what I mean.
