Thumbs up Web 2.0 Logos

Just thought I'd post some web 2.0 type logos.

Web 2.0 sites nearly always feel open and friendly and often use small chunks of large type. The colors are bright and cheery ? lots of blue, orange, and what we jokingly call the Official Color of Web 2.0: lime green.

Enjoy!

Talking

A clear trend in new identities is the use of soft, rounded typefaces dominated by VAG Rounded (AKA Rundschrift), but also including Helvetica Rounded, Arial Rounded, Bryant, and FF Cocon. All of these lend a modern friendliness to what might otherwise be a cold trademark. Here are a few examples:


ClipShack ? video sharing
Font: VAG Rundschrift and Light obliqued


Zimbra ? collaborative calendar
Font: VAG Rundschrift Light


Wayfaring ? custom Google Maps
Font: VAG Rundschrift (fattened with added stroke)


Kajeet ? mobile phone service
Font: VAG Rundschrift (custom ?j?)


Zopa ? lending exchange
Font: similar to Frankfurter Medium or Bryant Bold Alt


Pando ? file sharing
Font: similar to Bryant Medium Alt


MySpace ? social networking
Font: Arial Rounded Bold and Bell Gothic Black


TracksLife ? personal database
Font: Arial Rounded Bold


Eventful ? collaborative calendar
Font: Arial Rounded Bold (slightly smooshed)


Spongecell ? collaborative calendar
Font: Arial Rounded Extra Bold


Skype ? internet telephony
Font: Helvetica Rounded Bold


ShoZu ? photo sharing
Font: FF Cocon Bold


Tabblo and Tabblog ? photo sharing
Font: FF Cocon Bold

The Futurists

Some sites are reflecting the technological breakthroughs of Web 2.0 with a look that says ?tomorrow?s techno?. Pixel faces, hard edges, and ultra simplified forms are not as common as the cozy shapes from the group above, but they represent a good portion of the latest internet startups:


Last.fm ? musical social network
Font: ITC Ronda (customized)
Alternate: Avernus


Photobucket ? photo hosting
Font: Digital Sans Medium


Plazes ? geographical networking
Font: Base 9 Regular SC


NewsGator ? RSS aggregator
Font: ITC Bauhaus Medium


ReminderFeed ? reminders via RSS
Font: FF Dot Matrix Two Regular


Technorati ? weblog search tool
Font: Neo Sans Medium


TagWorld ? social networking
Font: Handel Gothic Bold

Shoutwire ? news sharing
Font: Agency Bold

The Classics

Safe standbys like Trade and News Gothic, Frutiger, Avenir, Interstate, FF Meta, FF DIN, and the always ubiquitous Helvetica continue to see use in new web logos:


Xanga ? weblog community
Font: Trade Gothic No. 2 Bold and Light


FeedBurner ? RSS optimization and tracking
Font: Trade Gothic Bold


Newsvine ? news sharing
Font: FF Meta Bold and Book


StandPoint ? belief sharing
Font: FF DIN Medium


DropSend ? file sharing

Bloglines ? news aggregator

I used maybe less than 25% of the websites stated above, I tend to stay on sites that I need, and those I do not need.

The webs constatnly changing in style, like the style in the world is, hmm.
