Corporate Art Style, also referred to as Big Tech Art Style, Globohomo Art Style and Corporate Memphis, refers to a set of similar minimalist "flat" art styles that became popular among Big Tech companies in late 2010s, best known representative of which is Alegria art style adopted by Facebook in 2017. This art style is distinguished by flat primary shapes, oversized limbs and non-representational skin colors. In November 2020, growing public awareness of this art style prompted appearance of memes and parodies.
Certainly it is a horrible style, but as in everything, as in the humans symbolized in traffic lights, signs and toilet doors, the style is ultimately irrelevant, but rather the message it conveys, as in any artistic or graphic expression. BgTech naturally saves a lot of money on design with these simple and adaptable characters, but on the other hand it can democratize it by making figurative expression accessible to any user, as Watabou also does in one of his webapps, which creates random vignettes with stylized characters which can be free used by anyone to create comics, memes or any other proposit. https://watabou.itch.io/stick-figures
