I dunno if you guys have run into this new fresh style of design that's been appearing in websites lately (badges, glossy icons, gradients, large text, rounded corners, etc) but if not, here are some really informative articles on this latest trend:

The Visual Design of Web 2.0

Current Style in Web Design

Web 2.0 Design Style Guide

Some examples of websites that have had recent web 2.0 makeovers... CNN, Getty Images, Yahoo, Myspace, Facebook, USA Today, etc.




What do you guys think about this?

Have you been applying any of these guidelines to your design?

it looks nice, but i guess its something that works best for business/company websites cuz its pretty much what you expect and i guess the whole glossy looks takes away the 'this *hit is boring to look at' feeling.
