What's the icon of the moment?
I'd like input on what you think the "icon of the moment" is. The peace symbol is everywhere but what's next?
To clarify, what I'm calling an "icon" is a simple, usually black/white, graphic that conveys a trend. Past popular icons are skull/crossbones, cross, crown, fleur de lys, etc. I'm looking for a simple symbol for a new project and I want it to be as current as possible. Thanks in advance for you input. |

I'd say skulls is pretty big (at least in streetfashion). Either that, or cute colorful vectorcharacters

Personally I think the stylized leaf is the next big thing.
Below are some examples:   Also you can check out this website to give you some inspiration on logos: Logo Design Trends 2008 |

Anyways. The leaf is a trend now that I think about it. Skulls are around. I wear them sometimes ! ~chris |

Wow. I didn't catch that you were going to try to emulate a symbol. In that case, do as freestyle said. Let your creative juices flow and just let your imagination take you . Corny, I know. But it is true. Don't try to copy a "trendy" idea because in my opinion, you are trying to get away from "trendy".
Anyways, best of luck! ~chris |
