it’s not about mc d’s. almost every business is doing this. Everything fun, colorful, expressive and artistic MUST go. All must be replaced with homogeneous minimalism.
mc d’s is used as the example because they led the way with this shit.

I’m actually going to say that I think designing a restaurant for disastrously unhealthy fast food in a way that makes it look and feel like a playground shouldn’t be legal, and I’m happy to see them look as dull and unappealing as possible to young children.

I also read that cars turnes less colorful since 1970s.
And a colleague told me that he read that skirts got longer on average since 1970, but idk about that one.
Also i noticed that most pop music these days are break-up songs.
Really shows you the mood of society.

Fair point! I entirely agree with that perspective in other areas. If we’re using this as an example, then I understand, but I actually think this is one example where the change is a tangibly good thing.

That’s what makes using mc d’s as the example is a bad choice, but nobody consulted me about it.

Interesting take. Maybe they should be designed like an art gallery of various medical office styles. Kids would hate that.

I recently watched a (german) video about the exact development of McDonalds depicted in the meme and it made me realize how much of the experience had been catered towards children and how i felt when i was there more often (or at all) when i was younger.
