it is sad, but trends can only be cool for about 6 weeks before they are bitten som many times that they suck.

depends. wood BG for wood BG's sake is definitely out. at the same time if this kinda background goes together with your site's idea (say, woodcarvers association of america) or with the overall theme, then it is quite ok.

never use these for a doctors website!

He's just saying that its been done to death and I have to agree. Even Plank http://www.plankdesign.com/2004/… dropped the wood bg.

Sick of crest logos too... Wow, your logo is a crest. Wait, yeah. And you have a wood background.

instead of always saying .. i'm sick of this.. i'm sick of that..
innovate and show us the future trend.. maybe a pizza background ?
even if you don't like it, you have to accept the fact that some people set the ' trend' (i'm not saying it's good or bad..) : and some other always follow and complain
stripes, drips, crest, wood bg, cooper etc etc ... it's always changing anyway.. at first i find that boring but then ... it's the same everywhere.. on every media you take.
i'm not criticizing what u' guys are saying.. i understand it ..

take HyperIsland school as an example..
i like that school.. and some of the students are really talented.. but.. but : look at the work : it's soooooo 'hype' .. so similar to the 'trend' u find all over the web.. colors, gradients.. shapes.. everything is done to 'fit' a certain graphic style .. it's so obvious !
that is very boring indeed.. even if sometimes the result is quite amazing i've always the feeling i've seen it 200 time already
