Logos aren't just reserved for business or products. Logos also feature heavily in the music industry, and often a perfect visual representation of the music is displayed in the band's logo.

Website design trends have completely changed over the last ten years, particularly in the way that new sites are conceptualized and then built. Today's user is more adept and web savvy than ever, so old design concepts no longer apply. Designers are ditching the idea of bombarding users with complicated visuals and an overdone aesthetic, and are now choosing clean, efficient and simple designs with focused attention to the details.

Designers are able to get more creative than ever now, because of the improvements to web fonts and the upcoming open web font format (WOFF) specifications.
