Web 2.0-ifying logos

YayHooray recently had a thread mocking the current trends in Web 2.0 logos. Participants took regular logos, and gave them a sarcastic Web 2.0 treatment. Many of the results where hilarious, and most were very well done, too. After someone Dugg the thread, a swarm of clueless people from the internet joined the group to ask for free logos, so in true YayHooray fashion, they started a second thread to mock those people by making free logos for each other, but not them. You can see a bunch of them on flickr here. You can also see a giant wallpaper of real Web 2.0 logos on flickr here.

Anyway, enough background. I got into the whole idea, and here are several of my own attempts.

Though I have to admit, it's a lot of fun to make logos like this, mostly because it breaks so many of the normal rules of creating a good logo.; 11:37 PM
