>>460296i was onto the 2010-2013 Google's logo design until they fucked it up, real badly.
>>460296>>460549you fucking morons google grew out of being just a search engine and they need a unifying logo that fits all of their products. it is obvious that the 2010 version would not be the best iteration to decorate a pixel phone with eg
>>460557stillit looks shit
>>460561no, it doesn't. you just happen to have decided hating the things that (to your mind) are being represented by its style.>the ridiculous quality of google search.>the immensely soulless affiliation with whatever societal topic is economically beneficial.>the management scandals and the opportunistic stance towards privacy.>their little game of acting as if none of these apects were real, but an almost altruistic service to the greater public their actual goal goal instead.
>>460562wait a minute your fucking right
>>460296>computers are military tools>faggots think they can handle it>it all goes back to standardized military procedures (dehumanizing design)its retarded, but for different reasons
>>460590Your PC?
>>460296i like the 2010-13 logo, it reminds me of the early androids like kit kat that used to come with a google search widget.
>>4602962nd is the best!!
>>460557>it is obvious that the 2010 version would not be the best iteration to decorate a pixel phone with egWhy not?>no, it doesn't. you just happen to have decided hating the things that (to your mind) are being represented by its style.No,it just doesn't look as good. Do you think it's impossible for somebody to dislike it?
>>460791>why not?because the consumer market pays more for 'fashionable' designs that fit contemporary sensibilities>just doesn't look goodyou don't understand that graphic design is not an artistic endeavour but an economically oriented service that aims to maximize profits by connecting to a populations aesthetic standards. >good is not what you like.>what you like is not good. >good is what works. >and what you like is what you like.
>>462524Everything you just said is all true, and it perfectly describes why I hate graphic design, interior design, home Reno shows, most "art" based industries in general.It's not about making something that tells it's own story or has its own personality, it's about trying to robotically generate something that appeals to everyone to sell as many products as possible, so they make something so bland, so generic, so uninspired and pedestrian, that it appeals to no one, but is merely "meh" to most observers. They really want to just make something that doesn't OFFEND anyone and turn away customers. But everyone knows brilliant art is bold and not afraid to offend. But that is not compatible with maximizing sales. It's the reason most people can't tell the difference between an AI generated logo and a human created one: both are based on the most generic conglomeration of training data, either in the machine, as in the case of AI, or the human's brain at cal arts when they drop $60,000 to learn Toon Boom and draw bean mouths to please their industry overlords with generic crap that some risk-averse producer thinks will sell well.Then these designers whine about >AI SLOP AI SLOP ITS SOULLESS AND TAKING OUR JERBS!!!! MUH JERB! WE ARE TRUE ARTISTS CRANKING OUT THOUGHTFUL ART, NOT DA CLANKERZ AND EEEEEVIL TECH BROS!!!!!MUH JERB MUH JERB!!! CLANKERZ WILL NOT REPLACE US!!!!!(insert illogical and legally unprecedented nonsense about training data being copyright infringement in a desperate effort to build some kind of argument that doesn't sound like it's based purely on emotion and fear of being replaced by a slopbot better at generating slop than themselves)
hyperfocusing on a logomark rather than the target technology, utility, styleguides and UI toolkits around it is skitzo brainlet tier.the dumbo round fixed stroke width uppercase G is more readable in a tiny 1:1 dark or light bg rectangle/circle (favicon, social media avatar), easier to recognize among the other slop, easier to scale and animate than the serif ones. no critical areas of detail would disappear in a shitty crusty jpg compression image. that makes it more effective. these things are not meant to be artwork, merely recognizable and readableand being able to claim something close to a plain geometric shape like circle or rectangle of fixed stroke width or fill as yours while remaining completely recognizable is also a corporate egotism.
>>462528your rant is mostly emotional posturing without much substance, don't you think?you hate graphic design because it's not "real art"? so what's your alternative for making mass consumption goods appealing to wide audiences, then? hating something without an alternative is dumb, like hating gravity for making groceries heavy. you hate plumbing for not being real art too? or does your hate just stem from feeling lied to, from realizing that you fell for someone abusing your rose-tinted glasses? kek>brilliant art is bold and not afraid to offendbs! art is art. sometimes offensive, sometimes safe - declared art when it resonates with its moment. your personal taste doesnt matter to the larger question of what art even is. it's just snobbish projection. you're mad that 'working as intended' doesn't feel special enough lol?complaining about 'bean mouths'?! bruh your opinions are as derivative as the logos you're whining about.**graphic design isn't an artistic endeavor, it's a service.** no matter what the Cal Arts brochure says. it's about building shit, informed by consumer psychology and insights from actual art - closer to engineering than genuine expression. you went in expecting poetry and got plumbing, so now you're having a tantrum. but there's no real alternative to plumbers doing plumbing in the current environment, is there?>mocking designers for worrying about AI taking their jobscheap cruelty dressed up as insight. many of these people trained for years, exchanged parts of their individuality for corporate logic, and now face heartless sacrifice in the form of obsolescence. your response is to sneer at them for... caring about their livelihoods?must be nice living with your parents.you're not offering critique. you're a cynic who mistakes contempt for intelligence. no plan, no vision, just empty dunking to feel superior. not sharp. just lazy.
