That art style is called "Alegria" or "Corporate Memphis" and it always makes me feel kind of nauseated, even without the cannibalism.
It's the comic sans of art movements. It works really well for what it was designed for (eye-catching, inoffensive, and simple) but its both overused and misused in enough places that people have soured on it over the years.
I've got a visceral reaction to it now and see it as threatening and as a sign to run far as fuck from whatever I'm being sold.
Thank you for the interesting read.
This wiki page is one of my favourites. It's subtly dripping with distain.
LOL Right? The contempt is just barely contained by the Wikipedia voice and tone.
