Corporate Memphis information

Illustration in Corporate Memphis style from *humaaans* design library

Corporate Memphis (alternative names: Alegria art, big tech art, flat art, or corporate artstyle^[1]) is an art style named after the Memphis Group that features flat areas of color and geometric elements. Widely associated with Big Tech illustrations in the late 2010s^[2] and early 2020s,^[3] it has been criticized for its use in sanitising corporate communication,^[2] as well as being seen as visually offensive, insincere, pandering and over-saturated,^[1] though some illustrators have defended the style, pointing at what they claim to be its art-historical legitimacy.^[4]
