I can't stop laughing.

No single person suggests making a logo that resembles an anus, but when everyone's feedback gets incorporated, that's what often emerges.

1990s-2000s: 3D and Glossy - Remember when every logo needed a drop shadow and a glassy shine? Apple's aqua interface set the standard.

2010-2013: Skeuomorphism - Digital designs mimicking physical objects, with stitched leather textures and realistic dials.

2013-2018: Flat Design - Reaction to skeuomorphism brought minimal, clean interfaces with bright colors and no shadows.

2018-2022: Neomorphism - Soft shadows and semi-flat design creating subtle, "touchable" interfaces.

2022-Present: The Butthole Era

Somehow Walmart is leading innovation, launching a butthole logo in '07. Truly ahead of their time.

I give this post 3.5 buttholes.
