This is basically what the world looked like during high school + early 20's for me. Never thought I'd miss this look but i'll take it over flat minimalism any day of the week 🤷♂
@@eko9554 I find it funny that you're talking about being blinded by nostalgia, yet you have a pretty nostalgic pic of Gerard Way when he was younger. Because he sure as shit don't look that good anymore lol.
it already did, sort of.. not commercially, but people in the aesthetic community are making frutiger aero inspired vaporwave albums and/or vaporwave inspired frutiger aero albums..
This style influenced so much of my childhood. The UI of computer I used as a kid, the home screen of my first phone, the look of ipods as well as the ads for it at the time, old toy designs… god just seeing it makes me feel happy and refreshed.
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.
Ocean Eyes is a serious contender for greatest Electronic album of all time in my opinion. To this day I’m still baffled how it (and most of Owl City’s other albums) only received middling review scores.
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!!!
somehow i feel like mario galaxy 2 was way more frugiter aero than 1 and the sonic riders games are weird zero gravity and the orginal both feel way more y2k than frugiter aero even tho they came out in the late 2000s rather than the early 2000s like most people say y2k was around for free riders tho defiantly feel frugiter aero
@@TheLetterS_Rebooted Same. Personally, Frutiger Aero and Y2K are mostly set in the 2006 to 2014, because tecnology was more modern than webcore (the Window XP) but not as it is now post 2017. That's why some older videogame models or renders might look more Y2K compared to now, examples: The Sims 2 artstyle, Sonic 2006 and Sonic Free Riders artstyle, Mario Wii Games (especially Mario Kart Wii in my opinion) Project Diva and The Sims 2 (even tho this came out in 2004).
I always did prefer unique styles like these over boring old simplistic ones. People can say I’m blinded by nostalgia all they want but you gotta realize that not everyone will have the same tastes as you. I also understand why some people like simplistic designs more.
I feel like some older PopCap games, especially ones like Bejeweled 2 and Bejeweled Twist, as well as AstroPop, could have definitely made it onto this list
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...
you made me remember things forgotten in my mind but brought back to life with some things in this video. One example is the Robots movie, which i somehow recognised, even after all those years
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.
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.
bro thank you so much for putting sonic colors in here, my favorite game by far with an amazing soundtrack that fits perfectly with the vibe of frutiger aero
The 009 Soundsystem track became so popular on youtube videos because when you could add music through youtube, they were alphabetically the first artist to pop up, thus the default
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.
Metro and aero are on the same tier, metro never killed aero but oversimplification did kill both. Frutiger aero music has a sort of empty vibe which minecraft kinda does. XP was just on the iceberg so i had to cover it but I get what you're saying.
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.
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.
YOOOO seeing FUNKEYS of all things in the thumbnail blew my mind, I legitimately thought I was the only one who remembered those things I had the Speed Racer movie tie-in Funkeys, I played the hell out of it
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.
Mfs will really say that anything they're nostalgic for is frutiger aero. It went from an actual design aesthetic to just "damn bro you remember that game from the 2000s that shit is so frutiger aero bro" theres nothing tying most these entries together aesthetically. Its just a 2000s nostalgia circle jerk
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 ❤
Living in the Age of Airplanes is a 2015 Documentary Movie how airplanes change the world of transportation, This Movie should in the iceberg or the aesthetics.fandom, The film style used Frutiger Aero, Eco, & Metro, at the same time, makes it a unique movie is such a underrated movie.
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).
9:38 Geometry Dash player here, while I wouldn't exactly consider GD "Frutiger Aero" it does allow you to upload custom levels to the servers, and the custom levels I can think of that actually fit the aesthetic are Over The Horizon and aero blue vista
the game "Flower" on PS3 has heavy fruitger aero/metro vibes. the PS3 in general and many of the games on it (Playstation Home, Little Big Planet) were very fruitger aero/metro.
I think you ment the shows logo with wwe they started to use that logo in 2014(streaming)/2015 in general logos on turnbuckles and their belts, they still had the scratch logo but the only logos I can say had that style was in smackdown, the ecw logo with the wrestlemanias around that time

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.

Vaporwave for zoomers
true
Pretty much
Excellent video, dude. It had nice pace, excellent summaries, and the Weezer jumpscares got me good. Overall really nice
O2 still somewhat uses the bubbles in its branding.
Mfs will really say that anything they're nostalgic for is frutiger aero.
It went from an actual design aesthetic to just "damn bro you remember that game from the 2000s that shit is so frutiger aero bro" theres nothing tying most these entries together aesthetically. Its just a 2000s nostalgia circle jerk
Can you tell me some of the things that you found to be "2000s nostalgia circle jerk." I'm working on a follow-up.
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 ❤
nice choice to use de blob ost, i'm surprised that game wasn't here. it fits a lot better than a lot of the other ones lol
This is sooo nostaglic for me, my mom still has a pretty old computer and it gives me alot of Frutiger aero vibes
Living in the Age of Airplanes is a 2015 Documentary Movie how airplanes change the world of transportation, This Movie should in the iceberg or the aesthetics.fandom, The film style used Frutiger Aero, Eco, & Metro, at the same time, makes it a unique movie is such a underrated movie.
Do you guys remember when people used to put effort on making things, logos or icons?? :00 (take me back to the 2000's)
As soon as I heard the word portal and heard want to you gone I immediately started screaming the lyrics
I loved Sushi Pack, I legit always acted like I was the only one who remembered that until now.
I really want Frutiger Aero to come back sooo bad
I'm so glad someone else remembers sushi pack. I really hope this aesthetic gets more and more popular. Genuinely gives me hope.
1:00 id argue the old youtube homepage was way more simple to be honest
I hope the sekumorphisum/areo society once had in the 2000's and early 2010's returns one day! :D!
This guy is so underrated he should definitely have over 10K subs
Eurovision 2005 had a very frutiger aero Intro. Also the intro before a country would begin their song was also very frutiger aero
Good one iceberg, like it
Actually authors of iceberg doesn't count Android, because it's other astethic - Holo (other words, dark frutiger aero)
3:57 I think that’s a frutiger aurora image which is a sub of Frutiger aero.
Is this the neo Vaporwave?
Ocean Eyes by Owl City is to Frutiger Aero what Floral Shoppe is to Vaporwave
Also fireflies by owl city sounds like frutiger aero...
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).
9:38 Geometry Dash player here, while I wouldn't exactly consider GD "Frutiger Aero" it does allow you to upload custom levels to the servers, and the custom levels I can think of that actually fit the aesthetic are Over The Horizon and aero blue vista
Excellent video man :)
What would you do if you turned into a Frutiger Aero?? 😤
Honestly: I think that our current minimalism is gonna be remembered fondly when it's gone, and honestly, i prefer it
the game "Flower" on PS3 has heavy fruitger aero/metro vibes. the PS3 in general and many of the games on it (Playstation Home, Little Big Planet) were very fruitger aero/metro.
3:36
WELL HERE WE ARE AGAIN
IT'S ALWAYS SUCH A PLEASURE
well i didn't expect to see that
The best aesthetic and my childhood it was a great time fr
I cant believe you guys didnt include "Encarta" from windows...
OMG YES
OMG UB FUNKEYS!! I HAD TO CLICK THIS VIDEO
I can’t believe Ocean Eyes (Owl City) is a part of Frutiger Aero
White/light cool color dominant color schemes and glossy design just looks good. Reminds me of some of the sets from Drake and Josh or iCarly
Blud was just flying through the video tryna get it out
The Lipton ice tea powder container also uses Frutiger Aero!
Sometimes I get a mobile game add which looks very much like this style. I was wondering what the style was called earlier today.
This list reminds me so much of WildTangent games i used to play, Blasterball 3 seems like textbook Frutiger Aero to me
FreeBSD does have a Frutiger Aero Logo, but FreeBSD doesnt come with a desktop enviroment
I think you ment the shows logo with wwe they started to use that logo in 2014(streaming)/2015 in general logos on turnbuckles and their belts, they still had the scratch logo but the only logos I can say had that style was in smackdown, the ecw logo with the wrestlemanias around that time
13:14 I have Power Mac G4 MDD at home and it’s MacOS X! (Yeah, it can’t receive new updates but still cool!)❤
good job you just got a new sub
YESSS UB FUNKEYS MADE THE THUMBNAIL
