    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

      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.

    Because they ran out of logos that look like all-seeing robotic eyes
