End of Blanding. Blanding is dead. Here's what's next. We had whole generations of brands defined by the Gin Lane and Red Antler aesthetic that made new brands seem kind of more approachable and familiar yes simple. Now we're gonna see a hard reaction to that with things having an overly aesthetic, very maximal approach. Burberry is a great example of what I'm gonna coin heritage maximalism. By leaning into these older aesthetics and then making them relatively loud, brands are gonna find a way to stand out, and then we're gonna see tons of serif fonts come back. Gucci has been on this wave for a while, so they'll fit right in. We're gonna see a massive drive towards overly ornate and hand drawn things, but I think they're gonna pull short of this maximalism we see up tier, and we're gonna see it more in the individual logos and elements of pride slightly more subtly. Brands are gonna differentiate by being extra ornate, by having super high quality materials, and these designs that definitely go overboard. Anyway, I'm happy we're here because this was depressing.
