The future isn’t what it used to be.
Ha 😂
Now that it's the new twenties we should bring these styles back.
I always thought Googie was cool, and I wish it continued. I feel like if it was mixed with Walt Disney’s Progress City, it’d be perfect.
One has to understand that the Aviation and the Aviation Age ( machine age, electric age, aviation age, radio age) Was the foundation and the Stylistic Driver of Streamline Modern.. and as such it reached into every bit of American Design at the time.. autos ( chrysler airflow), radios ( to many to name), locomotives ( streamliner became synonamous with trains) , and all modern aircraft of the 30's onward. Archetecture was no different..it was an Esthetic Movement.. and efficiency in radios and buildings was on nobodys mind at all. Airplanes were ! FAST airplanes .. which spelled the most Modern and Exciting Possible
Best video ever
The artist that designed the Googie lettering was Frank Mel. A great artist and a friend of mine while we both lived in Phoenix Arizona. Fact his house was in the same neighborhood as my grandparents. And it was taken from 1920s cartoon lettering. I have seen his studio and preliminary work for Googies.
Thanks for story Peter :) I where he tok his inspiration from, but it is a shame there is so little information on this topic.
@@RadioRetrofuture it's a shame Frank didn't get more recognition than he did, his brother Ed Mel enjoyed wealth and popularity for painting, this tormented Frank his entire life. Frank designed one of the most important masthead for a genre. Frank was also friends with R. Crumb. I am fortunate to have known Frank Mel in person
@@peterlynch8768 If you, or anyone else is interested, you are more then welcome to join me on a podcast and tell my audience more about him and his work.
@@RadioRetrofuture if you want me on a podcast that would be great, email me at: pdlynch091@gmail.com let's talk first so you have an idea of the experience I have of knowing Frank Mell as an artist and friend, his story should be brought to light, tks
Im weirdly drawn towards it like anything probably seems more interesting now coz it’s different call it retro escapism lol
This and googie, ah bliss
What kind of retrofuture would be in the 20's-30's period ? Atompunk maybe?
The aesthetics depends on the story, themes and the setting.
retro future in the 20s and 30's would be art deco
go check out the old sci fi serials of the era .. buck rogers and flash gorden and such . my personal term is "electro punk"
The 50s and early 60s are most populat for Atompunk. It became a thing after the use of a-bombs at the end of WW2.
Digging these terms: Diesel Punk. Atom Punk and Retro Future
All Archecture is about folks with Money.. wanting to be Noticed.. often so they can make a lot more money. Googie is about Wretched Excess.. in a rather exuberent and joyful expression.
Capt Larry - wretched excess may be a tad strong... baroque? Sure . McMansions? Definitely. ..I see Googie using pretty simple materials but in a colorful and fun/creative way.
This cat may understand world forces, and general history.. but his explaining american culture would be like me explaining anything Hungarian.. eg stupid exercise in bloviation.
So did Google take it's name from GOOGIE
I don't think so, but their logo is definitely Googie inspired.
@@RadioRetrofuture or was it 2 words put together, those two words being " go ogle" as in "go ogle you some big ol ______"
@@turbostatic1 No, it was inspired by “googol” which is a number, a 1 followed by 100 zeros, in a form of representing the enormous amount of information the web offers us.
architecher
Dumb ass trump supporter can’t even spell “architecture “ lmao
its 11/30/2020 and design has NO SOUL anymore - art...EVEN WORSE... has anyone seen the ART PIECE just installed at the whitehouse? omg please tell me we are smarter than this as a country.... i look at art deco and envy the people who lived in that time. i look around now and and wish i could be anywhere else!
Wtf is desel punk????
Dieselpunk... I included two links in the videodescription I have on the topic (forgot to do that).
great video but you sound like you have too many potatoes in your mouth
confabuting Streamline Moderne and Googie..is quite wrong headed.
confabuting is not a word. You just mixed two concepts and ideas yourself, ah ah ah.
