My friend Bryan Harney tipped me off to this one…
What does the Web 2.0 look like? Here’s one person’s logo-fied view of the Web 2.0 world. Ludwig Gatzke assembled a great collage of logos from Web 2.0 companies (by his own judgement). Those represented include:
30 Boxes, 30gigs, 43 Things, AirSet, Agatra, ajchat, Alexa, AllMyData, AllPeers, AlmondRocks, Associated Content, BackFence, Backpack, BaseCamp, Bayosphere, blinkx, blish, Blogbeat, Blogger, Bloglines, Blogniscient, bluepulse, Blummy, Boltfolio, browsr, buzznet, Cafepress, CalendarHub, castpost, Chatsum, Clipfire, Clipmarks, clipshack, congoo, Dabble, del.ico.us, digg, diigo, dogear, dPolls, EgoSurf, eskobo, Extra Tasty, Facebook, favoor, FeedBurner, feedmarker, Feedsky, Feedster, FeedTier, Filangy, Flagr, Fleck, flickr, Findory, FireAnt, fotolog, Frappr, Fruitcast, furl, gabbr, Gather, Gcast, gmail, gOFFICE, goowy, gravee, Grouper, Gtalkr, Gumshoo, HomePortals, Hula, iKarma, inods, inform, imvu, Jambo, JellyBarn, Jeteye, Jookster, Jots, JotSpot, kanoodle, kiko, KnowNow, last.fm, lexxe, LookLater, lulu, MeasureMap, meebo, MeetWithApproval, mefeedia, Memeorandum, Mercora, mozy, MyBloop, MySpace, MyVideoKaraoke, NativeText, Netvibes, NewsAlloy, newsgator, Newsvine, Ning, Noodly, OddPost, OmniDrive, ookles, openomy, Opinity, Orb, Ourmedia, oyogi, Pageflakes, Pando, Pandora, Pegasus News, Phanfare, picturecloud, pixagogo, Planzo, Platial, plazes, PodDater, Podzinger, ProjectSpaces, Protopage, PubSub, PureVolume, pxn8, qoop, quimble, RallyPoint, rbloc, reddit, rememberthemilk, renkoo, Riffs, Riya, Rollyo, RSS Mad, shadows, Shoutwire, ShoZu, shutterfly, SimplyHired, Simpy, Skobee, smarkets, smugmug, SpinSpy, Spongecell, Spot Runner, Squidoo, Squishr, Standpoint, Streamload, StrongSpace, StumbleUpon, Suprglu, Ta-da LIsts, tagyu, TagWorld, TailRank, technorati, theadcloud, Tinfinger, Topix, Trumba, veoh, vimeo, vizu, vSocial, WebJay, Wikipedia, wink, Wondir, Wordcast, Wrickr, Writely, Xdrive, Yedda, yakalike, Yelp, YouTube, Yub.com, yubnub, Zazzle, Ziggs, zigtag, Zimbra, ZoomInfo, Zoozio, zoto and Zurpy.
I take issue with a few of the entries (Alexa?), but one thing is clear; Web 2.0 = playskool-colored logos + sans serif fonts. There also some notable exclusions, such as Skype, Flock and Upcoming.
I looked at a few Web 2.0 sites from a design perspective a few months ago, and now I’ll be starting an in-depth analysis of these companies this week. If you’ve got a Web 2.0 example to add, please leave a comment.
I would’ve made them clickable, were it my image. Someone else posted that on Flickr.

Bryan — Doh! Appropriate love added.

Why the heck isn’t Flock listed in there?? I mean, we practically kicked off the whole over-hyped Web 2.0 thing! Gosh!

I feel your pain, Chris. Any list is going to be incomplete and out-of-date as soon as it’s posted. As I noted in my closing paragraph, Flock was a notable absence.
If it were MY list, I would get it right. 😉
In Ludwig’s defence, he’s stated plans to come out with a “Part 2” image (http://flickr.com/photos/stabilo-boss/93136022/in/set-72057594060779001#comment25216785)

The answer is simple: There is no Flock logo on the website and i collected logos from websites 😉
But you can send it to me for part 2!

“Sans serif” is right. We’ve collected some other typographic trends inherit in this logos at the FontFeed: http://www.fontshop.com/fontfeed/archives/web-20-logos.cfm
