I totally agree. Even an image like this is more compelling and could've made a better diagram/logo. a while ago, i posted this obituary to minimalism and it describes perfectly what is happening here:
"a condition of totalized and singular aesthetic refinement—of high taste, of aesthetic rightness, of absolute disengagement with the world. A kind of nihilist perfection where things, rather than lives, are ordered, whose grand family tree stretches back through the ages. Its names have been legion, though we might call its secret constancy ”Aesthetic.” Throughout time, its power has operated through slight of hand, its invisible maneuvers assimilating opposition and threat through deployment of the most despicable of all tactics: irresistible cold-hearted beauty." if they want to be inspired by real geometric style, look no further.
