Site Information

As a PC user during the 2000s, and a lover of technology, I took interest in Frutiger Aero as soon as I learned about it. But I saw that there were not many websites talking about it in depth or sharing many resources / images of it. So I thought of making this website, as a fun project, and as a place to put resources and information that I've learned.

You probably noticed on the first page and my button, that the mascot is a blue and green Victini, and wonder who that is. I call him Vistini, after Windows Vista. It's a character I invented while playing around testing different color variations for Pokémon. I just think it's cute.

I was inspired to make this after looking at Solinus's amazing website and a few other websites on Neocities. Many of the wallpapers i've used on my website were shared by members of the Frutiger Aero Discord server, where you can also find me by the username "daniele63".

This website looks at its best on a 1080p resolution, but I did my best to make it usable on every device. The design of the website was inspired by the 1990s and early 2000s websites, which were made with computers monitors in mind, before the smartphone revolution. Of course I could have made a more modern looking website, but this is Neocities, and I wanted to make something that resembles my other website, so there you have it.

A warning on scams in the FA community

If you've been in the Frutiger Aero community, you've probably heard of Skeuoss, who is present on various social media and runs an ecommerce website. This person is trying to profit off of the aesthetic, while stealing other people's work, using AI to write the description of almost the entirety of his shopify website, including product descriptions. He also runs a website on Neocities, called frutiger-aero.org, that is completely ripped off of another user's website (literally the same code). I include the proof of this in the links down below.

The entirety of his products are drop-shipped, including his aqua mouse, which he didn't make, he only put a sticker on it. I know many people that have ordered his mouse and are still waiting for it months later. The company he runs is very shady, it is registered in some chapel in Ireland, with a New Mexico phone number that never picks up, Skeuoss himself is from Asia.

When his products arrive, if they arrive at all, they often come in bad shape, in poor quality, or not the expected size. I know someone that received a bracelet with rust on it, which is a safety hazard, and shows the lack of quality control. The products are mostly sourced from AliExpress and Alibaba, but are sold at a way higher price. For example, he sells packs of 10 mini MSN Messenger figures $14.99 USD, you can find packs of 100 of the same figures elsewhere for the same price.

Skeuoss defends his drop-shipping by claiming he offers quality control and technical support, but this is not true either. Please avoid him at all costs, and don't support him.
