Spotify changed their flat logo to a disco-ball image for their 20th anniversary and the internet started talking about a new “disco-morphism trend”.
As someone who coined two morphisms already (neumorphism and glassmorphism), let me break it down for you and explain why I stopped naming new morphism and why you probably should too.
There is only one exception to this rule.
A truly interesting trend that hasn’t been fully figured out yet, so there’s potential for both innovation and obscurity. And another one that has a lot less use-cases, but can be extremely refreshing for some products.
There’s metal-morphism, disco-morphism, Squircle-morphism, light-morphism and many, many others. There’s also a rather funny Figma joke we’ll also go through.
These are all subsets of Skeuomorphism though. They’re not something that specifically makes sense as a separate trend.
Let’s talk about why.
