The Rise and Fall of Frutiger Metro
Frutiger Metro, like Frutiger Aero, was a design aesthetic used in the mid to late 2010s and the 2000s. In this video, we look at what it was, where you might remember it from, and where it went.

I remember reeeeally disliking this as a kid. it always had to be all over pencil cases, folders, messenger bags, shirts, toys... all that would have been better without it in my child mind! Loved Frutiger Aero, but I don't think I noticed it as much as this one.

It was kind of patronising... oldies telling kids "we're cool look at the funky graphics, this will make you want to learn", maybe it was aimed at the sad parents buying it - thinking it was cool?

It has ugly primitive repetitiveness to it.

My exact thoughts. Thank you.
Frutiger metro probably is the second best aesthetic in the 2000s - 2010s
Commenting for engagement but also to express shock at how this video currently has

Oh yeah... this aesthetic kinda killed the Windows phone didn't it? MS really hyped up the UX - google took it to the next level with the Material design system, a whole new level.of flatness. Great video mate, I remember those text books!
This style defined my early teens, and I miss this aesthetic so much. It's what inspired me to learn Photoshop, and everything just felt full of life. You could jam so much personality into something without using much more than the pen tool.
I always love when i come across unique UI full of character, its a shame we seem to see more and more of this 'optimised for efficiency' type of design. Awesome vid!
sony ericsson phones in the last 2010s has a lot of frutiger metro design in their advertisements and also their wallpapers. The paint splat combining with speaker artwork fits pretty well on walkman phones back in the day.
Bro this is so nostalgic :0
i just came here from your frutiger aero design video whattt

I love this style so much
still a banger video
I used to watch public television (PBS kids America) when I was a kid (around 2008 to the mid to late 2010s) there were a lot of shows back then that used that style. Even books from bookfairs back in the day
Ahhh I used to think of this style at 1:40 as preteen emo, now you've told me what its actually called! Thank you!
Nice, sweet, awesome, cool, kind, great
Wow man your channel has really grown fast. I thought it would, great job dude. You going to focus on aesthetics or on lolcows?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I've always associated the aesthetic of Gorillaz Demon Days era with Fruitiger Metro, with the Dare music video being this aesthetic. Funnily enough I remember re-listening to them in 2017 which is when you mention the aesthetic seemed to die, this is also a few years I stopped playing on the Wii (Just Dance) which I think has a lot of Fruitiger Aero and Metro in one design.
cartoon network noods feels like a subgenre of this, a lot of the earlier bumpers were just colored silhouettes before they were all characters
I notice in these type of videos that discuss these trends, people never call it for what it is. It’s graphic design. Specifically graphic design trends.
I miss these times
First thing that comes to mind is the PBS show the electric company
Cartoon Network had this style ~2008-2011, I remember

As someone who lived through all this and never liked it, I'm glad it's gone. Deff more of a fan of 80s and 90s aesthetics. That being said. I hate the minimalist designs companies are going with today. Everything is drab and bland. My example is all the fast food chains. Look no further than your local McDonalds and Burger King to see what I mean.
I hate it
