What is a fanlisting?

By definition of the Fanlistings Network, a fanlisting is a place where "fans from around the world submit their information to their approved fanlisting and they are then listed to show their love for the subject." While The Fanlisting Network is not the only fanlisting site, it is the main go-to for multiple fanlistings all across the world.

Fanlistings have existed for decades upon decades and end up being one of the most popular ways to show your support for a subject. The only thing a fanlisting requires from you is information so the webmaster can list you on their members page. Any and all requests have to be approved due to this being a collection of fans.

What is Frutiger Aero?

Frutiger Aero is a design philosophy that was widely promiment through 2004 to 2013. The term "Frutiger" is coined from Adrian Frutiger, who created the Frutiger fonts, and the term "Aero" is coined from the UI codename for Windows 7 and Windows Vista. The term "Frutiger Aero" itself was coined by Sofi Lee, a member of CARI (Consumer Aesthetics Research Institute).

Frutiger Aero is defined by its usage of glossy, bubbly textures, tertiary color palettes that end up being very bright, transparent textures that feature a "glass pane"-esque look, along with Skeuomorphism (a design philosophy that exists to make something "new" feel familiar). Other philosophies also included bokeh photography, CGI renders of nature and technology, and symbolisms of grass, fish, water, bubbles, and nature.

The Frutiger Aero aesthetic is immensely promiment in multiple medias around this time. While Windows 7 and Windows Vista are the most popular examples, the aesthetic was very promiment during early iPhone models with Skeuomorphism, along with the Wii and 3DS systems from Nintendo featuring the usage of Aero to a gigantic degree. Other examples included games like Portal, Minecraft, and Sonic Colors, film like Wall-E, Avatar, and The Lorax, and music like Hatsune Miku, Yabujin, and Airbase.

While Aero is the most popular member of its family, it exists under a broader "Frutiger" family aesthetic. This aesthetic includes other genres like Frutiger Eco, which focuses on nature, Helevetica Aqua Aero, which focuses on fish and water, Frutiger Aurora, which focuses on aurora visuals, Dark Aero, which focuses on dark gradients, Frutiger Metro, which focused on the "Metro" aesthetic, and Vectorflourish, which focused on the usage of vectors and flowers.
