Fruitiger Aero - July 2026 TOTM

Step into the glossy, vibrant world of Fruitiger Aero, a design aesthetic that dominated the late 2000s with its optimistic vision of technology and nature. This theme is characterized by glossy textures, water droplets, bubbles, bright green grass, clear blue skies, and glass-like user interface elements. For your submissions, you could design a set of cursors featuring animated water droplets, or create icons shaped like shiny glass spheres containing tiny green seedlings. Alternatively, a desktop icon set inspired by the classic Windows Vista media player controls with colorful gradients would make an excellent entry. We want to see designs that combine natural motifs like tropical fish or aurora lights with sleek, futuristic digital interfaces.

To participate in the contest, please follow these requirements:

• Your entry must be either a cursor set, an icon set with a minimum of 8 different icons, or an icon assembler.
• The submission period is from the 1st to the 22nd of July 2026.
• To submit, upload your creation to the gallery and post a link to it in a reply to this topic.
