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'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!!!

Mainly the section about the wii. While the main menu aesthetic can generally be agreed to be frutiger aero, many of the games you listed lack any qualities that would really make them frutiger aero imo. Like the visual design of Nintendo games has not changed a lot since the days of Mario Galaxy, Smash Bros, and Mario Bros Wii, I don't really see what makes these wii games truly frutiger aero. Smash Bros in particular even goes for a fairly realistic artstyle compared to Nintendo typical more cartoony artstyle. Wii sports even uses fairly realistic artstyle outside of the menus and the Miis themselves I'm also not certain why C418 is in the video, frutiger aero is a visual design aesthetic so his music while being nostalgic for late 2000s is not necessarily frutiger aero. I'm not necessarily certain what to call his music genre, vaporwave is the what it is closest to but even that doesn't feel right Mostly though, it was a fairly well produced video. Just a few entries didn't fit imo. When I said 2000s nostalgia circle jerk it mainly was meant to apply to the discourse people were having in the comments where people just reminisce about their nostalgia and call it frutiger aero even when it has zero relation to the design language used in frutiger aero works If you're looking for reccomedations for any entries in the next video, you should look into Electroplankton. It was a DSIWare game that I feel fits the aesthetic well Good luck on the follow up ❤

I'll be honest that little section was just me bragging about my Wii collection. I think what most people think of "Frutiger Aero music," as is atmospheric which I think C418 does pretty well at. Eh, I don't know how I feel about that, I just think it was a little rude from my perspective. I think some people need to focus of the design aesthetic rather just reminiscing on the past which I kinda helped fuel. You're all good now tho :) (if you don't mind can you tell me what you didn't think fit in the iceberg) I've also been fascinated with Elctroplankton so I think that could be a good one to cover. Thank you ❤

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

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...

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

Great video

theres bugs crawling in my skin

5:59 I disagree here. This is retro-futurism, probably inspired by the aesthetic of TRON from the 1980s. The big giveaway that this isn't even remotely frutiger aero is its lack of the frosted glass aesthetic of the windows aero theme and the exclusion of any natural elements (plants, water, clouds) that's included in the style. In fact, most of what's in this video isn't aesthetically frutiger aero other than sharing a glossy appearance. Some of what's displayed, like the games, did have music that's included in the frutiger aero sound-genre (that includes upbeat Y2K DnB, EDM, IDM, and jungle).

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