There are no Web 2.0 companies; only shitty logos and lame fischer-price designs.

I think my favourite is Olive Garden. Gee, it's amazing what you can (can't) do with sans-serif fonts and soft colours.

Personally I loved the Israel 2.0 one. We need more high-tech AJAX enabled countries.

Is it bad that I like some of these? There is some impressive work in there.

Man! I was eventually planning to start an airline industry weblog called BoeingBoeing, but now I totally can't.

The yayhooray thread is pretty amusing. I particularly like the guy who dissed the at&t logo... Some of those logos are fantastic... should I be ashamed of saying this? (on preview, looks like cellphone thinks I should)

Impressive? That's not a word I'd use for sticking a gradient layer over some text with a reflection. And in fact "a gradient layer over some text" pretty much describes how to do the 'reflection' as well. Flip a copy of the logo vertically, cover it with a white rectangle to which you then apply a vertical alpha gradient.

cellphone : "Impressive? That's not a word I'd use for sticking a gradient layer over some text with a reflection." True. The work itself is not impressive. However, for some of the logos, the results themselves are.

Perhaps "impressive" is the wrong word: some of the logos were nice. Sure, they were probably really easy to make, but sometimes easy to make stuff comes out well. Case in point, gazpacho is really easy to make, but it tastes great.

Oops. I thought the ABC logo was a redesign of the ABC Stores logo in Hawai`i.

Cellphone: impressive results do not, necessarily, require impressive techniques. Sculpting, in one form, is just chiseling away small pieces of rock with a hammer. Not very impressive, although the results sometimes are. *shrug* I think some of them would have been accepted if ever presented to a corporate board.

Most of these seem more Mac OS X than Web 2.0. Although it's likely that the former had a big design influence at the latter, considering the weirdly high level of Mac use among the Rails/Ajax set.

Gradients and reflections are "Web 2.0"? Yes, many "Web 2.0" or "next big thing" websites and companies have logos who share characteristics with the ones in that flickr link. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Gradients and reflections are "Web 2.0"? "Web 2.0" is the process of rebranding social computing and blowing smoke up our our collective assholes by calling it new. The sterile glossy aesthetic is just a small part of that.
