The Logos of Web 2.0

There is no official standard for what makes something “Web 2.0”, but there certainly are a few tell-tale signs. These new sites usually feature modern web technologies like Ajax
and often have something to do with building online communities. But
even more characteristic among these brands is their appearance. Web
2.0 sites nearly always feel open and friendly and often use small
chunks of large type. The colors are bright and cheery — lots of blue,
orange, and what we jokingly call the Official Color of Web 2.0: lime
green.

You can see some of these striking commonalities in Ludwig Gatzke’s compilation of nearly 400 Web 2.0 logos. Read on for a breakdown of the fonts used in a few of our favorite brands.

How To Mix Fonts: Typeface Cheat Sheet

Typography is the art and techniques of type design and arranging type. In traditional typography, text is composed to create a readable, coherent, and visually satisfying whole that works invisibly, without the awareness of the reader. Even distribution with a minimum of distractions and anomalies are aimed at producing clarity and transparency. The arrangement of type is the selection of typefaces, point size, line length, leading (line spacing) and letter spacing.

Readability and legibility are also often confused. Readability is most often and more properly used to describe the ease with which written language is read and understood – it concerns the difficulty of the language itself, not its appearance. In contrast, legibility describes how easily or comfortably a typeset text can be read. It is not connected with content or language, but rather with the size and appearance of the printed or displayed text.
