Feel like this set of Big Thief merch really captures the vibe.

New website for the Consumer Aesthetics Research Institute: https://cari.institute/

that website is amazing!
this doesn't seem like a particularly good example of Global Village Coffeehouse (though it is listed a such), but this was actually the Nintendo website homepage at one point??! Insane

Fantastic, so many looks from the 90s/2000s that I recognize but could never articulate as an aesthetic. Googie-Lounge Kitsch gives me vivid flashbacks of my Disney World vacations as a child in the early 1990s, particularly the MGM/Hollywood Studios park.

As a general FYI, you can still see surviving examples of actual Googie here in L.A.

that website is great, though i'm a bit disappointed in how lopsided it is towards more recent stuff. hopefully that will change.

Definitely not, it appears to be their annual shareholder's report.

wow that website is the real fuckin deal

xp Deflatormouse, idk, looks more like a website to me. But maybe not their public-facing homepage? Letter to Shareholders looks more like a link, and why would it say "Nathaniel's Fun Factory" on the letter to shareholders?
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Friday, 2 July 2021 19:36 (two years ago) link
but yeah now that I think about it, why would it say 1999. maybe you're right. still confusing, beyond the very confusing branding

its the website for the shareholder report - found it on wayback

def gonna get baked and look at that site tonight
― brimstead, Friday, 2 July 2021 20:00 (two years ago) link
Yes sorry shareholder report *in website form*
― Deflatormouse, Friday, 2 July 2021 20:14 (two years ago) link
Nintendo homepage ca. 99 is here:https://web.archive.org/web/19990427192531/http://www.nintendo.com/home/index.html

I like this but how many of these "aesthetic categories" are basically just riffs on Memphis Milano

It does to me. Earth with a childlike hand-drawn face on it, warm colors, sun/moon imagery -- all of that feels very GVC.

I kinda want to live inside "Corporate Tech Laser Grid"
