I know it’s quite an insignificant bit of enshittification but I still feel a bit miffed that every logo these days looks the same.

    Its a pretty well documented phenomena

    Generation A does something a certain way

    Generation B rejects their parents’ taste, does the thing a different way

    Generation C goes “there was some good stuff back in A’s day, maybe we shouldn’t write them off completely” and boom we’re wearing bell bottoms in the 90s

        We don’t still have mom jeans. We have mom jeans again, supporting kobold’s point.

            They are called mom jeans because - because - until recently, and since the early nineties, only moms wore them. Not sure about you but where I come from, “mom” is not synonymous with fashionable.

            Nothing goes away. Things go in and out of fashion and the zeitgeist - that’s really what is being discussed here.

      I’m not sure it’s really applicable here. What I’m seeing in this picture is not an evolution from “Style A” to “Style B”, it’s more like an evolution from lots of diverse logos to a completely uniform design across the industry. It’s not an evolution from one style to another, but more like a consolidation from unique logos to sameness.

      I have a hard time seeing them diversifying again. Maybe someone will change but then the others might just follow suite.
