I find the "childlike" quality of it oddly appropriate for modern corps, but not in a good way, more like "we know we're infantilising you. Drink up!"

I'm surprised this article is referring to it as "Corporate Memphis", when Memphis was already commercialized heavily in the 1980s. Every mall in America looked like that.

What we have today I would think would be more like neo-Memphis. Similar, maybe less pastel and less gradients and less soft filtered.

That aesthetic screams 1986 to me. Not sure why I pick that year as it could apply to any number of years around that period; Nikelodeon shows well into the 90s used that aesthetic for sure.
