I miss the time where everything had a distinct identity. Shapes, colors, a bit of imagination…
The motto now seems to be sterile, monochrome, uniform design; nothing must stand out. Subway station? Moved from colorful place with art stuff on the walls to white, squarey area. Fast-food? two-colors, no decoration (except for advertisement collaboration of course). Store? Bland aisles full of items, no billboard, no nothing.
All logo are converging toward a single letter/shape with no feature. All UI must be full of empty space and devoid of lines/distinctive features, with components similar across everything. Gadgets and gizmo? Smooth, uniform, nothing extravagant.
No wonder every time anything with a bit of personality comes out it’s acclaimed to no end.

Yes. Can’t offend any race or creed or culture or dog or bird or alien or language or…
ALL GRAY!
This is all to make resale easier. Future adults will never be able to look at a building and say, “Hey, that bridal boutique used to be a Pizza Hut!”
