I too see just a big fat nothing. Zero Everything. Oup surely has its corporate finger right on the pulse.

It's like the mind bending gizmo they tried to brainwash Harry Palmer with in the film of The Ipcress File!

You do all know we are living through the End of Times don't you? So the blandness and nothingness is because there is no point using imagination or creativity.

Have you noticed all the new vehicles, trucks and cars, all painted in dull grays? And all the nearly black houses being built? What is that about?

One more symbol which fits with the elites' apparent plans to homogenise us : no boundaries, no borders, no history, no nationality, no more 'problematic' caucasians, no more pesky biological males and females, no restrictive age of consent, no loyalty, no principles, no future: the crowded ,controlled ,rationed ,mindless, managed collective is what they propose- unless we stop them in their tracks.

nothingness

a state where nothing is present, or where nothing exists that is important or gives meaning to life

From the Cambridge English Dictionary.

I think you're on to something here -- the trend toward identical logos is striking. Not sure of the reasons. Many many years ago circa 1990, I recall thinking sans serif fonts looked modern. But not so now, and I have started to prefer serif for some applications.

Moreover, I had been thinking and discussing how, in the past, we would have drawn out the words of a logo or brand for a new product, but now we only look for a suitable font. Nowhere is this more visible than in this logo of the past: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/54/Galaxian_logo.svg/1199px-Galaxian_logo.svg.png?20150718103511

I'm inclined to agree, however. There's something more going on than mere simplicity and ease of creation. I can't help but suspect that it's engineered. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZN16SUWjeg

Perhaps it is the "Story of O" for the modern age. Total submission. Net zero.

Could it be the ouroboros, the snake eating its own tail? One finds that occult siymbol many places. I've been so angry about the King Arthur Flour company trashing their logo. It was a beautiful, colorful picture of King Arthur atop his white horse. They scrapped it for some semblance of a crown made of some semblance of wheat stalks. Clearly, they could not have a white king on a white horse. That would be racist. The are so woke there they have permanent insomnia.
