This recreation of Microsoft Games website from the early 2000s. It embodied a stark contrast to the minimalist, utilitarian aesthetics of the early web's Web 1.0 era.

While first website prioritized functionality over visual appeal, this Y2K-era aesthetic site featured a vibrant, high-contrast color palette.

Its structured, gridded layout organized content into clear sections, integrating dynamic interactive elements like navigation buttons compared to the bald desing of previous webpage.

You may notice that this webpage is stretched. It's because it was designed for old monitors with 4:3 aspect ratio that was commonly used untill 2006.

                                    Facebook’s design in 2006 was simple and followed the Web 2.0
                                            aesthetic, using a soft blue-and-white color scheme with
                                        very few visual decorations. It focused on being clear and easy to
                                        use.
                                    
                                    Unlike the bright and chaotic style of Y2K websites, Facebook was more
                                        restrained
                                        and avoided too many flashy visuals, prioritizing functionality
                                        first.
                                    
                                    The content was organized in a neat grid, with clear sections for
                                        profiles, friends,
                                        and updates.
                                    
                                    In contrast, Y2K websites like the Microsoft Games site often had messy or
                                        uneven
                                        layouts, with overlapping elements.

Welcome to the Frutiger Aero Website!

This page is inspired by the Frutiger Aero aesthetic, blending smooth visuals, functional design, and a touch of nostalgia from the 2000s.

About the Aesthetic

Frutiger Aero is a design style that emerged in the mid-2000s, known for its glossy surfaces, skeuomorphic textures, flowing lines, and vibrant yet balanced color palettes. Frutiger Aero includes glass effects, skeuomorphism, auroras, bright color palettes, smooth curved lines, and elements of nature. Frutiger Aero designs are also not very crowded with many different elements, instead having a more "open" and minimal composition as opposed to some interpetations of the style. It began from 2005-06 and was popularized by Windows Vista. Arround 2011-13, it eventually gave way to flat design trends, which favored a simpler, less decorative approach. However, Frutiger Aero remains a beloved aesthetic for its unique mix of natural inspiration and polished, futuristic appeal.
