      Yeah, I honestly miss the confidence companies had back then. Now, some of them are some of the most play it safe teams out there. I would rather see a bold company try something that doesn't work rather than a safe company try something that has no critical reception

      Same. All these simple logos are just so boring. I'm of the mindset that a logo should be designed to catch your attention and all these simple logos have the opposite effect. At least half of them nowadays are so far simplified that I actually have to think for a second what it's supposed to be at which point if I wasn't already actively searching for said brand I'll have already driven or scrolled past it.

      @Safwaan "and one day that bubble will pop"
      I really hope that day comes soon. I just really hate feeling like I'm deciphering ancient egyptian hieroglyphs when I'm shopping plus the old way logos were done in the 90's/2000's was just way more fun and interesting to look at.

When I think over-complex I think of engraved illustrations and the like of the early 20th century. We could easily somehow see that again. (Probably not.)

    Hey Alax! As a graphic designer I love that you made this video. I wanted to add that I think a part of the problem might be schooling as well. When I was getting my degree the professors focused on us using very clean modern fonts and that led most of us using Helvetica or Gotham and some other plain sans serif fonts. They wanted the creativity to come from what we can do with the type rather than choosing fonts that fit the subject we were working with.

At least half of them nowadays are so far simplified that I actually have to think for a second what it's supposed to be at which point if I wasn't already actively searching for said brand I'll have already driven or scrolled past it.
