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.
That's what I was thinking. Maybe they're just Community fans.
.. Should we be pinching our nipples at their AI?
I hope this doesn't awaken anything in me.
A company's logo should be evocative of their strengths. So suggesting they, principally, shit all over everything is apt.
The dark-mode switch at the top of the article:
I'm surprised they didn't mention the Izze logo:
because ai is the modern equivalent of goatse
e pluribus anus
Because AI is going to fuck us in the ass with no protection.
This is one of the rare cases where reading the article would probably ruin a perfectly good headline. lol
I thought so too, but the article really delivered. I didn't know I was living in The Butthole Era. I suspected it, but I didn't know it.
Even before I saw another user pull out some hilarious excerpts, I was gonna read it later Now I'm definitely going to.
You’re missing out. 
I just find it remarkable that not only the shape of Claude's logo is what it is, they also went with that particular color for it. Chef's kiss.
It’s a good article too :)
The guy who wrote the article watches too much porn. The more you watch and see and experience something, the more you will see it everywhere.
Because the only thing coming out of them is shit?
You either die a startup, or live long enough to see yourself become the butthole.
today we are all buttholes
Maybe they're all designed by Pootie Shoe
I think he just goes by Pootie now
Ich bin cornholio! I need TP for my bunghole!
Only one of those looks like any butthole I've ever seen. Now I wanna see the buttholes whoever wrote this has seen.
Because the people who own the company are buttholes.
Funny that they praise Slack’s “hashtag inspired logo” when they replaced the original angular one with circular symmetry that looks like a penis swastika.
"Penis swastika" is spot on.
They all wish they were as clever, funny, and efficient as GLaDOS
Subliminal messaging.
Except only one does here.
You need to broaden your horizons. There's more to life than cute Hentai buttholes.
Althought, I guess I can see not wanting to acknowlege prolapse and so many other horrors some of these represent.
Hmm. Reductionist design probably has gone too far if you start to require radial symmetry.
What's the Walmart logo doing in there?
Because they ran out of logos that look like all-seeing robotic eyes
They all used ai to make their logos
Manus joined the room…
Something something about showing connections between points in a circle... the chocolate starfish of life.
