Damn, the music and the aesthetics of the logos in the vid make the digital future actually seem bright, hopeful and exciting.

Am I an old fart or most of these logos look better than their current iterations?!

Yes and yes

I love it but I want to see the really over the top late 80s stuff!

I would genuinely love to have stickers or tees of any one of those

A distressed ringer tee of any of these would give the perfect "thrift store find" vibes

the symbols on the spotify and youtube logos are my favourite, i miss that kinda thing and especially how they'd be embossed on products, like the logo on sony ericsson phones.
