Angry Birds (2009)

ProMax

Angry Birds is the visual language of the casual game that ate a billion phones: a bright cartoon diorama where a scowling round red bird is loaded into a wooden slingshot and flung across a blue sky at teetering forts of grinning green pigs. Every shape is fat and rounded, wrapped in a heavy warm-brown outline — no thin line survives here.

The palette is unapologetically primary and candy-loud, the type a swollen rounded comic display face, and the mood is aggression made adorable — one furious eyebrow doing all the emotional work. Pill buttons, glossy toy sheen, a dotted parabola arc, and plump drop shadows say: pull back, let go, and watch the whole tower come down.
