Frutiger Aero design
The modern trend for flatness and shape-y icons and such was cool for a bit, but I'm officially tired of it.
I'm just about ready to go back to skeuomorphic pre-rendered 3D models as icons and gradients & textures & transparencies everywhere
Especially since computers have only gotten better at drawing this stuff. A modern PC would be able to render the "Impossible" looks of those old Windows Longhorn Concept Videos without breaking a sweat.
Also -- FUCKING BEZELS.
The current trend with -- Mobile devices in general. Phones and Tablets, is to have the entire front of the device be screen. To the point that people hiss at seeing even the little dot for the front camera (or the notch, w/e)
I find this tremendously stupid, leaves you with far less ways and places to grip your phone, and makes the "I was using my phone in bed and dropped it straight into my nose" scenario straight up inevitable, since you can't grip the thing tightly without accidentally activating something on the touch sensitive screen. Just give me a border of plastic that I'm safe to put my fingers on, dammit.
