What the project calls for is using an existing, up-to-the-minute, "trendy" icon. A newly created concept won't work for this project. The icon needs to be already in the marketplace and easily recognizable - I just need to identify what's the "newest" trend.

We've pretty much exhausted the skulls, are presently doing peace symbols. I agree that the leaf/tree is probably what's next.

Is there anything else up-and-coming?

Thanks for all the input.

Light effects in logos are pretty rare but look like some of the next styles. Highly graphic designs with great functionality.

Showing skill rather tha trend is always a bonus.

Thanks for the input but I think you're missing my point.

Skill, creativity, etc. are all important but what I'm trying to do is identify a trend - not create one. The end customer wants the current trend that everyone else has. The end customers are sheep - what icon will lead the sheep?

Does anyone remember back in the late 90's when trendwhore was the 'in' thing? You remember; those tiny blocks of text, grids, 45 degree arrows, and random 3D abstract renders?

Well, I think that this is the new trendwhore.



Basically, everything that ardcor said.
