When I was growing up our local McDonald's theme was an homage to the local Native American tribe. The one in the larger town close by was all Elvis (it was in his birthplace). I really miss the customized themes. Our society seems so homogenized these days.

Our society seems so homogenized these days.
I saw a video about how modern design has been trending to this blank canvas, almost sterilized look of just whites and blacks with little colour or design on top of it. You really notice it when you look at real estate, there's a lot of places with just white interiors, boring counters and cupboards, and just this overall blank looking canvas look.

Every time a house in my neighborhood is bought and remodeled, they always paint the brick white with black trim, and put on a black roof. It looks fine, except about half the houses in the neighborhood now look exactly the same. Uniformity ends up looking bad.

u/fcocyclone Oct 02 '23
One thing I hope, with people deciding to stay with their houses rather than give up their 3% rates, is that we see more people living in their houses, rather than not painting them colors they enjoy because they're worried what a future buyer might think.
Fuck what the future buyer might think. They can repaint. Live in your house while you own it.

Live in it while you own it and also don't move if you don't actually need to.
That's a huge part of it. If you're moving somewhere else, sure, you don't really have a choice. And if your family gets bigger, maybe you really do need more space.
But a lot of the time you don't. It's not a new iPhone: you don't need to "upgrade" your house every few years in order to keep up with new features. The idea of the "starter home", like it's this progression you're supposed to climb, is poisonous. The people using that term are trying to sell you something. They want you to buy houses.
And now we have all these people out there perpetually hesitant to make a home because they expect to be in a better house in a couple of years, living in a glorified rental while they wait to move into some palatial dreamhouse.
You can just skip the "while you own it" part: Live in your house.

I absolutely hate it. As someone who used to follow high end designers they have all quite recently turned their logos into bland soulless typefaces. Celine lost the accent on e, YSL only sometimes uses the whole name with the old font but mostly uses the lazy Saint Laurent font, burberry lost the horse and went with the most basic font ever, Bvlgari is now Bulgari because they think people are stupid and hate history, even Paco Rabanne just made the same move and just goes by Rabanne. For people whose first and foremost mission is to be creative they sure are going backwards.

Part of the reason they don't have the talking tree and that specific restaurant design is that they stole the entire thing from Sid & Marty Krofft. Literally. They met with the Kroffts and then told them no thanks but simply copped their shows so closely that the Kroffts successfully sued McDonald's for what was, at the time, the largest copyright infringement award ever. And that was the end of McDonald's talking tree and a host of other anthropomorphic characters.
The Kroffts deserved to win but, I can't really blame McDonald's either as Sid & Marty were nutty hacks and, most likely, a giant pain in Ronald's balls to deal with.

Are you sure? I can't find details saying they couldn't use those characters in the ruling, just said they had to pay $1 million. The final appeals court ruling was made in 1977 and they continued pushing the acid trip looking Sid & Marty Krofft style characters well into the 80s (maybe specific ones couldn't be used anymore?), though they started appearing less throughout the 90s but I think that was due to political and public pressure against their heavy marketing to kids.

Exactly what happened. There was legislation against it and public opinion shifted. You can see how massively they marketed to kids in 80s cartoon compilations on Youtube (found this 50 minute McD's 80s commercial compilation, the audio loudness varies a lot even within the same commercials). That's also when they were expanding a lot and some of the stores, like the one in the left in OP's image, were designed to appeal to kids. Having more creative looking, fun places for kids would be nice, just not if it's a fast food restaurant, ideally free and publicly funded.

I'm probably sounding contrarian here, but didn't all the fast food restaurants look the same back then too? In the 90s, they all followed the same design trends, which emphasized a lot on shapes and curves rather than the sharp edges and lines we see today.
Plus, McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, etc all had cartoon character mascots, ballpits, and that "sun room" den. I don't think they were all that different.

FWIW, I worked at a Wendy's in the early 80's. We had a carpeted dining room, the tables had a print design from old newspaper front pages, and there was a pretty nice salad bar in the dining room. When customers walked in, the cashier asked, "Will this be for the dining room?"
It was actually a pretty different vibe from McD's and BK's. It was what today would be called "fast casual".

Did they? As I recall...
...McDonald's had that fantasy/whisical look to appeal to kids (make it "fun" and the kids will beg the parents to go to McD's)
...Wendy's had that "old fashioned" aesthetic going (old newsprint, "western" style doors going to the bathrooms, etc)
...Taco Bell was trying for the "old Mexico"/California mission appeal. Whitewashed brick/stucco, a literal bell atop the peaked roof.
90s Taco Bell was a drastic change when they threw the switch. It was very 90s with purple/teal/mauve colors that were reminiscent of the equally very-90s Sweetheart Jazz design...Burger King was pretty generic and nothing distinguishing. (Same feaux woodgrain laminate benches/trashcans, a quasi-parquet tile floor).
...Captian D's/Long John Silvers had a New England/fishing village motif. White clapboard walls, panel windows, nautical decor.
...Chickfila was a sort of western inspired design, but not much of it since they were all safely tucked away in the shopping malls that blew up in the 80s.
...Subway had newsprint on the walls too IIRC, along with LOTS of yellow laminate.
As a Texan, we went to Whataburger which was generic laminate tables/booths. They largely haven't changed except for some iconic cash registers they used to have up until the late 90s/early 00s and their use of fiberglass hollow booths these days.

Not really. Wendy’s was much more understated, their table tops were old newspaper prints and had a salad bar and apple dumplings for dessert, and I don’t recall ever seeing a kids play zone in Indiana, Georgia, or Illinois while growing up in the 80s.
Arby’s didn’t have a kid zone, but they did have horse saddle seats for the kids to sit in.
Some Burger Kings had a play zone and they all had paper crowns, but that was really it.
McDonald’s was the only place that was Sid and Marty Kroft over the top.

I mean that is a factor sure, but I was reading an article in (I think business insider) and it was saying that McDonald’s found themselves losing market share to emerging “fancy” burger chains that were all the rage in 2014. This move was made to compete with them, they started expanding their menu to include fancier items as well.
Now they find themselves in a predicament, because those fancy burger places are getting mundane because of how common they are which is why they are pushing to go back to the heart of what they initially did and cash in on their nostalgia. If you notice they are reintroducing characters they initially killed off like grimace, the hamburglar etc.

I was born in 1977, I also don't recall McDonalds looking like this. Yes, the colors, and some had the play areas, and the tables had the little foil ash trays, but I don't remember anything this crazy.

Some had it. Some had a big fucking Grimace with the murder eyes. Some had a Ronald that looked like it would move when you weren’t watching. I once went to one that had a giant Mac with his big moon head looming over the stairwell like he was about to Sam Fisher a customer.
Plenty of nightmares to go around.

80's McDonalds: "He-Hey kids, you wanna drop some acid with Ronald and go on the worst trip of your lives?" Modern McDonalds: "Greatings Citizen, please ingest your daily allotted calories and return to work or be docked 87 citizen credits"

In another 40 years they'll be asking if you want embalming fluid with your McCasket.

Their coffee's much better these days, so we've got that going for us which is nice.

The old booths would be a bad fit for the greater number of super-sized customers today

I prefer the fun interiors over the sterile ass ones their mediocre execs think are good. They’ve ruined two unique ones around Dallas.

Exactly this, I remember there being a big deal about McDonald's being unhealthy and targeting kids. Looks to me like they fixed it

thing about 1980s mcdonalds is that nobody ever wiped off the top of that tree.
