Gosh I miss the days when logos leveraged font choices.
You will get Helvetica and you will be happy with it! /s
I like Helvetica mass downvotes moment
All these go hard as fuck
I love it but I want to see the really over the top late 80s stuff!
So much better than the boring “corporate Memphis” art style pretty much every company adopted
Damn, the music and the aesthetics of the logos in the vid make the digital future actually seem bright, hopeful and exciting.
Man I wish we’d go back to fun and unique logos. Now everything is minimalist lower case crap that looks the same
What, you don't like every app icon being a white logo on a rounded blue square?
(go count yours, I personally have 19)
Aren't we all satin bowerbirds at heart? Gotta collect that blue.
I think you got an e-mail.

They look better to me.
they have personality, character, and charm
Because they aren't minimalistic and "safe"
1984 flickered a lot
It's what the yout's think the 80's looked like.
Or it actually did look that way and our brains were just trained to look past it because it was in everything

the symbols on the spotify and youtube logos are my favourite, i miss that kinda thing and especially how they'd be embossed on products, like the logo on sony ericsson phones.
Man, a lot of those are really excellent designs
I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would.
Thanks for sharing!
