Frutiger Aero is probably half of my childhood and your channel is a time capsule of nostalgia. Thanks! :)

I'd like to thank you so much for reminding me that Frutiger Aero was a thing. I think that almost 50% of all the happiest moments in my life had something to do with Frutiger Aero, be it directly or indirectly; I like to call it the most attractive Aesthetic ever - and every time I look at it, it suddenly brings me a very specific feeling of 'hope' for the future, just like it used to years ago.

Frutiger Aero is the design language I keep looking back on with a strange fondness. I loved the Windows Vista implementation of it specifically; Windows 7 was nice too but I feel Vista really nailed it. Just the overall glossy look and feel of the design language at the time was beautiful and striking.

2004-2013 was truly a time to be alive and as someone born in 2008, growing up with it... Nostalgia really kicks me in the face here

By the time you were properly aware of things it was at least 2015 onwards. Those born in the early 2000's were the ones that truly experienced Frutiger Aero. By the time you were barely a teen, it was already 2018. You can't possibly have seen a much different world.

I was born in 2004 so this aesthetic was literally for me😂😂 Fruitger Areo and Metro were my everything and still is. Will never understand why we switch to flat designs. Never liked when we first switch, still don't like it now.

Wow, thank you!

frutiger aero makes me feel so warm and fuzzy and hopeful inside. thank you for this video. also, there's a song called The Echelon Effect - "Denver For An Hour", and although it's not from the same era at all and the guy who made it probably has no idea what frutiger aero is, it always gave me strong frutiger areo vibes.

Love your videos on the history of computer graphics ranging from y2k to frutiger aero and its many sub genres. Finding the artist behind these pieces would be a cool rabbit hole!

This is the only type of subreddit video I'd watch. Thanks for bringing this style up on KZread a year ago. Analyzing different aesthetics, and where they came from, are so cool to learn, especially when I grew up with the frutiger aero aesthetic myself - and to see millions of people resonate with that same style's pretty special.

Glad this channel exists. I miss the vibrancy and feel of Frutiger aero. Minimalism just ruined that, everything being flat and boring now. Keep up the good work!

You just love making Frutiger Aero videos, don't you? They are so addicting 😄

I really enjoy hearing you talk about what makes the sub-styles distinct for you, since having lived through the time, I don't actually know what visuals people are thinking of, and it's interesting to see which things that I would group visually are considered different enough to need different names or vice-versa!

I was just binging your channel today Glad to see whenever you upload!

bro this is way much more interesting than i thought a simple aesthetic would be

I grew up with it. I grew up with Windows 7 as home PC and still miss it since 2023. I saw it in 2012 for the first time as my home PC suite. I was 5, and still remember it clearly and I was super excited

I somehow managed to stumble into this vid. It's insane how much you know about different eras and their designs. Very nice vid!

I've found my people here. Never feel bad over rambling about your passions. No matter how "mundane" or "trivial" they may seem. Its what makes YOU happy and what would make everyone else happy.

This aesthetic looks like something I would see in my dreams.

I had no idea why Softsoap seemed so disappointing, then I saw the iconic packaging. It’s called Palmolive for some reason in the U.K. - I knew I hadn’t seen one in a while, that’s so sad 😭

I've been getting a lot of early 2000's internet nostalgia lately for some reason and these videos are such a great exploration of all that. Thanks for exploring this niche, keep it up!!!

Completely off topic comment but, Just want to let you know you're one of the few channels I've turned notifications on for, even tho I wasn't sure of what content you'd follow up the masterpiece Frutiger Aero video with. Your voice and the background music fit together extraordinarily well. I trust ur research and expect I'd also be interested in ur perspective even in say, a podcast. Not saying u should do that but just saying ur good enough of a creator/researcher where I'd expect you to have that capability.

Fascinating explanations of this aesthetic. You're so good at picking each post apart and figuring out whether or not it could be categorized as Frutiger Aero, with meticulous and grounded logic. Especially the part where you talked about airports, you put that in a way I never would have even considered. Nice video!

Such an amazing video! The design language of the late '90s (Y2K) through the Frutiger Aero era is totally my favorite! Thank you for educating and reminding us of it!

Damn.. the nostalgia really kicks in..

1:23 I care about what you just said here, it's relevant for the video :] 2:41 The extra overlay that Samsung added to Android was really good at the time in my opinion. The colours, the music, the premium ambiance of the interface itself made using a Samsung phone really pleasant to use and feel premium. 4:05 Windows Vista and 7 had probably the best user look and feel I've ever encountered. No other theming has yet matched the quality of Aero, which is in fact a reference to Mac OS X's Aqua theming, but in fact took the best out of it and imprioed upon this with hardware accelerated transparency, blur and glowing elements. 5:54 I think some Linux distributions had pre-installed those wallpapers as alternatives to the default one when you want to change your desktop background. I think it was the Enlightenment Desktop environment that had a theme which had this wallpaper as default. Great video as always, nice way to start the day for me :]

All these frutiger aero things are unlocking the small part of my brain remembering all the phone and computer backgrounds of ye Olde days

Love this aesthetic! Great upload!

One frutiger aero thing that gives me the most nostalgia is definetly like the UI design of music players, with the big cirular glossy buttons that just look like big glass balls

Impeccable, love tranquil videos like this

I learned from your channel about Frutiger Aero. Like the video stated, it was one I definitely remember and recognize, but never knew the name of it until then. And now, I've been really fascinated by it ever since. So, thank you for spreading the word about this aesthetic. I too was deeply upset by the Softsoap change.

To be honest. I like your voice. It's calming

I love this formatttt!

We have missed you! Thank you for this video! :)

0:11 yoooo that's my post (the Sony Walkman). Good video and commentary.

Technozen never died in Japan. I've visited and it's everywhere. Even in new things.

I've been lurking there too! Words can't describe how much I love Frutiger Aero!

Another great video, FA is just so beautiful, I'm constantly on that subreddit too! I post original creations, they're very basic because I'm not that good at it but still it brings me joy and calmness, I just love the aesthetic That being said, I posted a UK Arriva sign I saw a while back (some app promotion or something) and I thought it gave off very "Neumorphism" and modern day FA vibes. Some agreed, some put it in r/frutigeraerojerk but still, I think it was great because I think FA is potentially fading back into existence! Who knows though

That gradient of the sky was my wallpaper, it still is for my Windows 7 VM.

I wish I could be a fish on a frutiger aero background

Yes, you should definatley make a video on the 3d people. Before i knew about frutiger aero I always found them nostalgiac. Also, I don't watch your channel often, but yesterday i decided to watch your Android videos again, and then you go and upload today.

This is a wonderful channel.

I have an addiction to watching these videos , they are fun seeing other POVs of designs and tech. Also I’m the one that posted the softsoap. Yeah, they need to bring back the depth and gloss.

I'm glad to see this aesthetic, and how it is being revived. so much childhood memories to be uncovered.

I just love everything about this aesthetic, it always looks so fresh and hopeful. Implementing more of this in today's time woundn't be a bad idea at all.

Thank you for giving Vista the flowers it deserves. Vista was my first laptop OS. I'll always have a soft spot for Vista!!! 😭

i love frutiger aero, but that technozen slideshow sent me into an indescribable nostalgia! love to discover the name for another aesthetic i didn't know existed ❤

That aesthetics reminds me of the images in the user manual of the first printer my parents bought.

Airports are their own dimension. Backroom kinda feeling. Pools too, specially if indoors.

are you never afraid to ruin the nostalgia you have for this art style by looking at it too much? like how you can listen to a song from your childhood too much and ruin the association you used to have with the song

Technozen seems like a cousin to frutiger aero. They have the same feeling of nature and technology working in harmony

I guess I’m not the only one into these kind of designs and era!

Love it

I think you like this style so much because you were a child during its heyday. I was already an adult so it doesn’t carry the same nostalgia factor for me.

I miss frutiger aero so much that I made my Windows 10 desktop look like Windows Vista. Michael MJD has done great and easy to follow tutorials for those interested 🌱💧

Everything is so flat now and there is no alternatives. Things were so customizable back then.

A good Linux distro with either the Plasma Desktop or Cinnamon and a couple of themes, icon packs, cursors and wallpapers can achieve a very accurate FA look and feel, across most (if not all) programs So yes, there are alternatives

Definitely keep making these, perhaps sprinkle in some shorts too. It will pay off. Or if anything just for legitimacy’s sake - it’s too unique of a tone and style to this channel to get buried by all the copycat blandness out there. Your taste in aesthetics and visuals rly shows in all the small things.
