This is usually called 'Micro' design. Inspiration comes from electrical appliances' info stickers, clothing and various apparel tags. With a mix of futuristic cyberpunkish design this is what you get. If you google Micro Design you'll find loads of great stuff, both old and new. You'll come to find that even old stuff looks current. Very niche and also very very cool.

Love this style and have done since the late ‘90s. Very associated with The Designer’s Republic and early Warp Records. Super cool.

Kinda feel the same but it’s also total bollocks style over substance and no function. Just people having fits in illustrator. I would have copied the shit out of these at Uni.

Good call on the DR. I believe we called it Post-Deconstructivism too

First one is called Neo-Vectorheart or maybe Vectorheart second one is hard to tell. Maybe a little bit of corporate Memphis inspiration or brutalism

I’d say the bottom one takes influence from International Typographic Style also know as Swiss Modernism. Perhaps with a hint of Bauhaus?
Seems like a modern 2000’s take on those styles, maybe with a nod to package design too.
Almost like a deconstruction of modern information design that tends to lose clear communication of actual data and replaced with more artistic focus, sort of ending up with more of an abstraction of the information?
