Discussion Loss of personality of logos vs this sub’s advice
It seems, when presented with a “logos then and now” type graphic, this sub will universaly lament the loss of individualism, fun, colour etc over the decades.
Simultaneously, when someone presents something they’re working on, almost all responses read “too much going on, lose the colour, make sure it works for every single edge case, a black square would be better”…
How do we explain this?
Reminds me of boomer mentality on childcare: demanding kids be wrapped in cotton then, in the next breath, complaining that playgrounds aren’t dangerous enough anymore.
