So, which butthole did you pull your code, copy, or image from today? 🙂

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

Somehow Walmart is leading innovation, launching a butthole logo in '07. Truly ahead of their time.

[-] meyotch@slrpnk.net 13 points 1 year ago

I give this post 3.5 buttholes.

That's what I was thinking. Maybe they're just Community fans.

.. Should we be pinching our nipples at their AI?

[-] LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

I hope this doesn't awaken anything in me.

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 44 points 1 year ago

A company's logo should be evocative of their strengths. So suggesting they, principally, shit all over everything is apt.

e pluribus anus

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 23 points 1 year ago

This is one of the rare cases where reading the article would probably ruin a perfectly good headline. lol

[-] tychosmoose@lemm.ee 33 points 1 year ago

I thought so too, but the article really delivered. I didn't know I was living in The Butthole Era. I suspected it, but I didn't know it.

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 7 points 1 year ago

Even before I saw another user pull out some hilarious excerpts, I was gonna read it later Now I'm definitely going to.

I just find it remarkable that not only the shape of Claude's logo is what it is, they also went with that particular color for it. Chef's kiss.

[-] ocean@lemmy.selfhostcat.com 8 points 1 year ago

It’s a good article too :)

[-] vk6flab@lemmy.radio 15 points 1 year ago

Because the only thing coming out of them is shit?

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 points 1 year ago

Only one of those looks like any butthole I've ever seen. Now I wanna see the buttholes whoever wrote this has seen.

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 year ago

because ai is the modern equivalent of goatse

[-] RichSPK@lemux.minnix.dev 8 points 1 year ago

The dark-mode switch at the top of the article:

I'm surprised they didn't mention the Izze logo:

The guy who wrote the article watches too much porn. The more you watch and see and experience something, the more you will see it everywhere.

[-] madame_gaymes@programming.dev 8 points 1 year ago

They all wish they were as clever, funny, and efficient as GLaDOS

[-] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

Funny that they praise Slack’s “hashtag inspired logo” when they replaced the original angular one with circular symmetry that looks like a penis swastika.

[-] rysiek@szmer.info 1 points 1 year ago

"Penis swastika" is spot on.

[-] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 6 points 1 year ago

Except only one does here.

[-] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] SpiceDealer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago

Because AI is going to fuck us in the ass with no protection.

[-] Spatialfiend@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Maybe they're all designed by Pootie Shoe

[-] haggyg@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

I think he just goes by Pootie now

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago

Hmm. Reductionist design probably has gone too far if you start to require radial symmetry.

[-] mtchristo@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Subliminal messaging.

[-] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Because the people who own the company are buttholes.

[-] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 3 points 1 year ago

Ich bin cornholio! I need TP for my bunghole!

[-] Psythik@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

What's the Walmart logo doing in there?

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

They all used ai to make their logos

[-] Kichae@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago
[-] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

Something something about showing connections between points in a circle... the chocolate starfish of life.
