ive noticed clients asking more and more for logos that look like web 2.0 stuff even when there business barely has a web presence. is this a fad or the way things area headed ? anyone else dealing with this ?

It's the new bevel and glow.

its because they see everyone else doing it and feel that to remain competitive they have to do exactly whatever else does as opposed to standing out in some way.
argue (politely and civil) and explain that this may not be the best option for their company. when all else fails though just do it and take the money

the shiny '3d rendered' shit with the glares and the reflection...

its actually supposed to refer to language construct and web-standards. and the leaning towards XML and XHTML structures, but somehow it became a buzzword to describe shitty design elements like teh 'rendered' logos and rounded edges and blog-format sites

734: I thought web 2.0 wasn't really about XML/XHTML but referred to a semantic web ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sem… )
- seems to be an umbrella concept... i think part of what i said was right734

From the wikp. article, Tim Berners-Lee (remember him from from web 1.0 ?), says of web 3.0...:
"I think maybe when you've got an overlay of scalable vector graphics - everything rippling and folding and looking misty....on web2.0.."
Uh ?
So like, a flash front end ? Or what ?
- does anybody take anything useful from this phrase ?
