Here's some 2012 logo design trends I stole from another site with absolutely no attribution whatsoever.
Twixt – These contain odd little interlinks between points that suggest connectivity. Angle bombs – These contain highly angled geometric shapes, oftentimes triangles, and are usually chaotic and without symmetry, like an explosion of sharp pieces from a central explosion. Leaf amalgams – Leaves used to build cars, people, other leaves, whatever. Copy – These designs use minute words as a graphic component, but the words could never be read. It is texture, not text. Penumbra – Think of a halo of layered and colored light circles that are not quite centered on each other. Monoliths – Squares or rectangles that are in perspective and that appear to be drifting.
So take these, hire some artists for, like $75,000, wind up with something so horrible you have no choice but to bury the only copies of the design in a lead casket far underground, and finally just toss up a loose variant of the Starbucks logo with "Slashdot" in Helvetica and the "d" rotated at a 90 degree angle like the M in the Animal Planet logo.
Keep the new logo up for a week. Quietly revert back to the old one at midnight between Saturday and Sunday. Never speak of it again.

Plaid. You can never go wrong with a good plaid.

Considering the number of paid-for articles we seem to get around here, renaming the site to "Slashbucks" might not be a bad idea.
