The style is sometimes called 'Alegria art' or 'Corporate Memphis' [1] and is explicitly aimed at being inclusive. But megacorps have overused and it's cliche, garish and bland now. Luckily, there are communities dedicated to erasing this aesthetic scorch from our zeitgeist [2].

- skinkestek 5y agoThat's a new level of low for Reddit I think (at least it is my first time seeing it): "this community is available in the app". That is a very nice way to phrase "our way or the highway" I think. It's almost like those people want lemmy to succeed.
- skinkestek 5y agoAnother one: At least when I think of "Corporate Memphis" I think of weirdly disproportional humans. To the credit of the poster none of the humans I saw in these illustrations looked like their parents had a run in with radiation or nasty pesticides or anything. I.e. and to be clear: Unlike most other such illustrations I found these to be nice.
- gillesjacobs 5y agoTrue, and even though I don't like the style, having more free assets van only be a good thing. So kudos to OP!

- dotancohen 5y agoTo be fair, the OP submission at least features properly-proportioned humans.
