The commercials, video logos, and music videos of the y2k era lavishly put y2k design principles into motion!
Since new tech was central to y2k, CG sets with live actors were popular, such as in this Sisqo Pepsi commercial.
Note the fashion and the blue/gray color palette!

CG blobjects were also popular, giving some motion to these iconic elements of y2k product design.

OPTIMISM
y2k, born in the early .com era and fueled by the excitement around new compact communications tech, painted a future filled with possibilities to better the human experience and the world. Tech was seen as a liberator, both on a personal and a global scale.

EXPRESSION
y2k design is famous for bold looks, but their importance is more than skin deep! Streetwear and clubwear dominated y2k because of its focus on loud, individualistic expression - embodying the 21st century promise that many new, net-amplified voices would be heard

Dance Dance Revolution (Konami)
A worldwide phenomenon, DDR needs no introduction!
For CROSSNIQ+, we took inspiration from the UI and transitions of 90's DDR games - they make menus, normally a chore, fun to navigate, and they're full of y2k flair like folder tabs and barcodes

TECHNO DRIVE (Namco)
An arcade-only driver's ed simulator, this game truly showcased Namco's graphic design talent in the late 90's.
Our inspirations? Too many to count! Just take a look for yourself - it's full of blobjects, icons, stylish meters, and cool y2k colors!

Founded in 1986 in Sheffield, TDR became one of the most recognizable design houses of the 1990s. Building their reputation by doing album art for groups like PWEI, Yellow Magic Orchestra, and LFO, they exploded internationally with their famous Emigre #29 magazine cover.
From ads, to flyers, to even restaurants, TDR became famous for its use of meta-narrative in its design, which was inspired by industrial iconography, contemporary Japanese graphic design, and growing cynicism towards consumer culture.
