I finally gave in to temptation and bought this book of readymade vector art from 2007, Graphic Print Source. It's just so much, and I can't look away; runs the gamut of McBling, UrBling, Surf Crush, Teenpunk, and I'm sure quite a few 00s styles we haven't even explored.

Recently really interested in this 'missing link' aesthetic between the more strictly 'ultramodern' interiors of the 1960s-early 1970s, and the indulgent, retro-referential 'Deco-Luxe' Art Deco revival interior style. I've been calling it 'Geo-Glam' (Geometric-Glamorous)

@amyhoy Thanks! I had no idea that's where the style came from, but it totally makes sense

Just an add-on note; I hadn't realized that Hippie, and 'Corporate Hippie' styles (late 1960s-mid 1970s) also seem to have similar 'exaggerated proportion' flat people in some instances.

I kinda think they're really just a more freeform/exaggerated/playful offshoot of an existing style popular in the 'flat graphics' of the early 2010s, Neoliberal Vector Minimalism.

Oddly, I have found that maybe that 2010s style has some origins in this 1990s 'odd proportion' corporate illustration people.

Gripe I just can't get over: 'Corporate Memphis' as a name for that annoying 'Exaggerated Proportions Tech People' style doesn't make sense.

The more fashion-centered, glamorous 'Millennium Disco' style. Compared to the 70s kitsch revival, this one was more specifically focused on reviving Disco iconography.

Finding examples of this Orientalism/Exoticism aesthetic that was prominent in the late 90s through the mid 2000s. Like Shania Twain recording 'Bollywood-inspired' versions of each song on her 2002 album.

It's been a little quiet as we're hard at work on the CARI website, but I did find this time capsule of late 1990s tech-optimism, 'This is How the Future Began'.

It's filled w/ 'Cyber Corporate' style graphics and predictions like 'by 2015 we'll have holographic busts of Mozart'
