Fotonight Web

This article is part of a series on the Frutiger FamilyFotonight Web is a meme aesthetic based on Frutiger Aero, which originated from a dream that a user from the subreddit r/FrutigerAero had. It's categorized by the use of nature, low quality image montages, Chinese knockoffs and imagery.
== History ==
=== The Dream (January 2, 2023) ===
On January 2, 2023, a Reddit user named u/williamsaguaro2002 had a dream related to Walt Disney Studios and Frutiger Aero. In that dream, the user got a voice acting job at Disney for a "big purple fish" character, but the studio was located on a underground secret base, which had aliens and nuclear weapons. Later, he stumbled across an old Asian man talking about "Fotonight Web", alongside a image associated to it above, although he doesn't remember what the senior said.
=== Reddit Post (January 3, 2023) ===
On January 3, 2023, he made a post on Reddit (see here) illustrating what he saw in his dream and later detailing what happened in it. This led to the creation of the subreddit r/FotonightWeb, housing a community surrounding the premise of this aesthetic.
=== Stylistic Origins (2000s, 2010s) ===
Although this is the origin how "Fotonight Web" got its name and its associations from, their visuals can be traced back to the 2000s and 2010s, when it was commonly used in Chinese websites and knockoffs.
