Frutiger aero needs to make a comeback.

This is basically what the world looked like during high school + early 20's for me. Never thought I'd miss this look but i'll take it over flat minimalism any day of the week 🤷‍♂

This style influenced so much of my childhood. The UI of computer I used as a kid, the home screen of my first phone, the look of ipods as well as the ads for it at the time, old toy designs… god just seeing it makes me feel happy and refreshed.

You forgot to mention that Limewire became victim to SIIIIMPLIFICAAATIOOON 😱😱😱

I know it's mostly known as a one hit wonder group/one guy, but Owl City's Ocean Eyes is THE Frutiger Aero album, every track is so good. I don't know if it was just the first print run of it, but the album didn't have a regular plastic jewel case, it was sheen cardboard with some plastic bits to it, eco modernism style. The initial DVD release of WALL-E had the same type of case, and I know it's just the style of the brand but I like to imagine the smooth cardboard case of the movie's recent Criterion Collection release is a callback to that DVD eco modernist case.

I hope Frutiger Aero will be popular again in the next decade and since then it will never disappear.

I'm glad to see Sonic and Mario on the thumbnail and video. Both franchises (specially main Sonic platform games) were sooo Frutiger Aero in the 2000's that I cannot help but be amazed! (I mean, the friggin Window XP background appears on a cutscene on Sonic 2006) Another videogame that is iconic as Frugiter Aero is The Sims 2 and The Sims 3. Honestly, I won't be surprised if these games made grow a liking to this aesthetic!!!

I always did prefer unique styles like these over boring old simplistic ones. People can say I’m blinded by nostalgia all they want but you gotta realize that not everyone will have the same tastes as you. I also understand why some people like simplistic designs more.

Man that era was simply just beautiful

I feel like some older PopCap games, especially ones like Bejeweled 2 and Bejeweled Twist, as well as AstroPop, could have definitely made it onto this list

i didn't know the name of this particular style! It's so nostalgic to me so thanks for this :)

I thought you had at least 10k subs judging from the editing. Very impressed.

I refuse to let go off frutiger aero

4:33 best mario game ever not even as a joke straight up the goat of mario

i just realized that frutiger aero was what made me happy in life.

I miss this, we were literally happier back then. Fucking prove me wrong, you can’t

I recently got into this Fruity stuff and I felt a deep nostalgia, I can't get over this because I miss my childhood so bad... I'm almost 25 and Frutiger Aero reminds me the good old times when I was just an unbothered kid... Thank you a lot man...

The defunct cable channel, The Hub, (which I grew up with) had a fruitger aero aesthetic during it's first era from October 2010 to June 2011

Want the top of the iceberg: The first season of Fortnite: Battle Royale unexpectedly contains Frutiger Areo. Some of people compare this style to Lazy Town in some form. You want the very bottom of the iceberg, look at Genki Rockets: Tetsuya Mitzuguchi’s virtual musical band. Their songs, videos and even their own video game (Child of Eden) contains as much Frutiger Areo as you can taste.

8:47 Windows Longhorn was a never released operating system, it got scrapped in 2004 and replaced with Windows Vista.

This is a hidden gem.

Epic video dude :)

you made me remember things forgotten in my mind but brought back to life with some things in this video. One example is the Robots movie, which i somehow recognised, even after all those years

You seem to confuse skeumorphic design with frutiger aero a small amount at the beginning. Being realistic, detailed or including gradients doesnt necessarily mean frutiger aero. The images of company logos for example didnt feauture a single frutiger aero design really. Windows XP has gradients and plenty of detail, but isnt really frutiger aero. Frutiger aero has a focus on natural patterns, glossiness / reflections, and the futuristic style of the mid 2000s - early 2010s, in a sense being a type of retro futurism. I think the crystal project / crystal remix icon set are probably the most typical frutiger aero designs ive seen. Dells “aero” background that comes with many dell computers / laptops as the default wallpaper is also definitely frutiger aero with its glossy textures, but a bit abstract like vistas default. This wallpaper was originally made for windows 7, but at least still comes as the default on their inspiron line of laptops, which i found slightly nostalgic and actually looks really good with windows 11 and 10.

Vaporwave for zoomers

The graphic designer in me is screaming. It's not the fault of the video as the presentation was very good, but this "style" or "aesthetic" is so vague and encompasses multiple different styles that aside from being commonly used in the early 2000's era seem to have very little if anything in common. I'm not even convinced the people who coined the term know what they named the style after because the font shows up few times in these examples, and it also includes the design language that replaced Aero which would seemingly make it not fit this style at all aside from it being created roughly around the same decade. I'm not trying to hate on the video and I hope you don't take this the wrong way. The editing is pretty decent and the pacing was good. I hope you continue to make videos and improve at doing so. I just can't say I enjoyed it for the subject matter.

frutiger aero is 2004-2013. in 2011 a new aesthetic came out called frutiger metro which quickly killed frutiger aero by 2013. and then frutiger metro was quickly killed by oversimplification by 2016. although minecraft came out in 2009, it had nothing to do with frutiger aero (yes that includes the music even though the music is beautifully nostalgic) windows vista is the first frutiger aero version of windows and it died with windows 7. (windows xp is not frutiger aero) not everything followed frutiger aero's design during the frutiger aero era. it has a VERY specific look and it isn't just about not being simplistic. even the shading was extremely specific. there had to be a crisp shine to it and it HAD to be otherworldly and futuristic.

great vid, really surprised it only has 10k views. Frutiger aero is was the peak of human race tbh

6:22 im glad im not the only one who still uses the wii mini

This kind of nostalgia is how my parents feel about the 70s and 80s. I get it now

One of the. Best videos I’ve seen I can’t wait for more

Mfs will really say that anything they're nostalgic for is frutiger aero. It went from an actual design aesthetic to just "damn bro you remember that game from the 2000s that shit is so frutiger aero bro" theres nothing tying most these entries together aesthetically. Its just a 2000s nostalgia circle jerk

bro thank you so much for putting sonic colors in here, my favorite game by far with an amazing soundtrack that fits perfectly with the vibe of frutiger aero

It voice makes it sm easier to watch this TYSM 😭👍

What a video friend! You did an awesome work here, thanks for inviting us to join to that server, IT SOUNDS AMAZING!

This is the best video on frutiger aero I've seen very nice

i still have a hard time to accept the frutiger aero as something on the lvls as 80s and 90s memphis design. when i think of the early, mid 00s, i think of dark menacing depressing suburbs and music. nu metal, emo, metalcore. I can agree that frutiger aero is distinctive in the late 00s in electronic devices and the electronic medium as a graphic artstyle, but it was not visable in the physical world. i still think its a fad aestethics compared to y2k and memphis design.

windows glass theme (vista and 7) are my favorite theme. i grew up and now use linux with the kde plasma desktop, and use the customization to make it look as much like that era as possible. 90% of the things you talked about in this video i hold oh so dear to my heart. i ❤ skeuomorphism OMG I USE SKEUOCORD

Not only do I miss Frutiger Aero, I also miss Y2K aesthetic, the zeitgeist, music and media in general.

4:36 made me subscribe. Im surprised that I'm only your 400th subscriber given how good the video is

Living in the Age of Airplanes is a 2015 Documentary Movie how airplanes change the world of transportation, This Movie should in the iceberg or the aesthetics.fandom, The film style used Frutiger Aero, Eco, & Metro, at the same time, makes it a unique movie is such a underrated movie.

YOOOO seeing FUNKEYS of all things in the thumbnail blew my mind, I legitimately thought I was the only one who remembered those things I had the Speed Racer movie tie-in Funkeys, I played the hell out of it

1 Windows XP is actually Y2K 2 Wii U came out in 2012

Theres NO way you have 500. Thats so little for such a great content creator!!!!

Pikmin 2 and 3 really fit the feel too in the menus, especially the piklopedia i feel. Love the video! : )

Great video, but one gripe I had was you spoke a little fast at times. Hugely underrated.

Mark my words. *THIS WILL EXPLODE.*

HE ONLY HAS 70 SUBSCRIBERS!?!?!?!?!? HE DESERVES MILLIONS!

Rolling Green Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy is peak Frutiger Aero for me

I sort of got a feeling of the glossy/skeuomorphism vibe when watching nascar as a kid? Like the logo and the names and positions of the drivers that hover at the top of the screen during a race?

9:38 well that caught me off gaurd. I forgot how much the base game looks so frutiger aero, but it looks so clean. Cant wait for 2.2

100% subscribing, your videos are amazing

Good job on this video! you deserve way more subs!

The 009 Soundsystem track became so popular on youtube videos because when you could add music through youtube, they were alphabetically the first artist to pop up, thus the default

I love that style it's my one of my biggest nostalgia.

i just saw one thing... ALL OF MY FAVOURITE CONSOLES, GAMES ETC. IS FRUITIGER AERO!! is it what my life is?

This is sooo nostaglic for me, my mom still has a pretty old computer and it gives me alot of Frutiger aero vibes

YESSS IM SO HAPPY THIS VIDEO EXISTS THANKKK U :D

In all honesty I wouldn’t be surprised if the rising anger towards technology from older generations is the complete abandonment of humanism and fruitiger aero in UI design. They were able to master the dumb phones and windows XP/7, but since 2012 they have been unable to resonate with or feel welcome in learning the newer technologies. I can relate entirely, even though I’m 24. There’s no excitement or feeling of refreshment when you look at iOS/MacOS/Windows/Consoles interface compared to 15 years ago. Tech went from being a tool designed to support your endeavours with a lovely interface to this minimalist slab of information that controls your life.

a modern song i really do recommend is verdent green by nelward, it really does resemble parts of fruitger aero

Excellent video man :)

I really want Frutiger Aero to come back sooo bad

I hope the sekumorphisum/areo society once had in the 2000's and early 2010's returns one day! :D!

I'm so glad someone else remembers sushi pack. I really hope this aesthetic gets more and more popular. Genuinely gives me hope.

Great video

the little smiley face gag at 2:27 ws so funny is subscribed to the channel

Nice iceberg! :D

Subscribed at the 'SiMpLIFICaAAtIon' absolutly outstanding lol on that one chief thnx

White/light cool color dominant color schemes and glossy design just looks good. Reminds me of some of the sets from Drake and Josh or iCarly

Do you guys remember when people used to put effort on making things, logos or icons?? :00 (take me back to the 2000's)

good job you just got a new sub

theres bugs crawling in my skin

the game "Flower" on PS3 has heavy fruitger aero/metro vibes. the PS3 in general and many of the games on it (Playstation Home, Little Big Planet) were very fruitger aero/metro.

The best aesthetic and my childhood it was a great time fr

This guy is so underrated he should definitely have over 10K subs

Love this video

This list reminds me so much of WildTangent games i used to play, Blasterball 3 seems like textbook Frutiger Aero to me

Well done

Good one iceberg, like it

I love this aesthetic

I have the classic idog in my car. Boop its nose every time before I drive lmao

Excellent video, dude. It had nice pace, excellent summaries, and the Weezer jumpscares got me good. Overall really nice

Ocean Eyes by Owl City is to Frutiger Aero what Floral Shoppe is to Vaporwave

This hits

3:36 WELL HERE WE ARE AGAIN IT'S ALWAYS SUCH A PLEASURE

I loved Sushi Pack, I legit always acted like I was the only one who remembered that until now.

Is this the neo Vaporwave?

1:00 id argue the old youtube homepage was way more simple to be honest

Eurovision 2005 had a very frutiger aero Intro. Also the intro before a country would begin their song was also very frutiger aero

i am manifesting my room to look like a 2002 frutiger aero teens room

O2 still somewhat uses the bubbles in its branding.

I think you ment the shows logo with wwe they started to use that logo in 2014(streaming)/2015 in general logos on turnbuckles and their belts, they still had the scratch logo but the only logos I can say had that style was in smackdown, the ecw logo with the wrestlemanias around that time

I can’t find old os on the App Store 😢. Are there any alternative apps similar to it that are still available?

Sometimes I get a mobile game add which looks very much like this style. I was wondering what the style was called earlier today.

I can’t believe Ocean Eyes (Owl City) is a part of Frutiger Aero

As a fan of The Office and enjoyer of the frutiger aero aesthetic I don’t really see the relation aside from being released during the same time the aesthetic was popular. Only thing I can think of is how the iPod helped The Office really take off as a series since episodes were available on iTunes but other than that I can’t really see aspects of the aesthetic in the show itself

People who have more access to vibrant colors are less likely to develop depression.
