I guess this ties in with the rise of minimalism and the end of creativity in design in general.

I hate how every Super Bowl logo is so boring now. It’s just a few chrome Roman numerals with the trophy in the middle. They tried putting the stadium or the host city’s skyline in the background for a few years, but now it’s literally just the fucking numbers and the trophy. Every fucking year. Super Bowl logos used to look cool. They used to make a unique logo each year. Someone put in actual creative effort to make those logos. Now they just copy-and-paste the same boring corporate bullshit into the next year’s logo, and probably get paid millions of dollars to do it.

Minimalism delenda est.

    the ones you mention are the opposite of minimalist tho? gaudy and ugly in a very american way. in fact the xiii logo probably is the closest there to minimalism. its unhelpful call any corporate design you dont like minimalism (which is =/= lazy design)

      Perhaps it isn't Minimalism™, but the new ones are literally just the numerals and the trophy. That's pretty damn minimal compared to the old ones.
