    Hehe. Right on! Although I'd probably give Twitter and Skype a pass.
    But still, I hear you

    you don't see the "what is twitter" bubble?

  • Paul Glazowski · 1 year ago
    Hm, not sure. Perhaps.

    My old company, Paltalk certainly uses the speach bubble as well

    Quotiki is about quotations, and so its use of the speech bubble in web design is appropriate. Here's a link to the Quotiki page for my favorite quote:

    BTW, I know that there is some disagreement about the attribution of this quote.

    Bubble serves two purposes, one it becomes a part of the logo, second it clearly shout something to the clients.

    There's an article linked in the 3rd paragraph. Thanks for the extra link to the original logo poster :-)

    Bubbles are becoming a cliche, tis true. I blame Twitter ;)

    BTW, see also the Web Design Toolbox - http://mashable.com/2007/07/24/web-design/

    Bubbles, ha! Smooth curves, heh! Squares and hard angles are going to totally make a comback - you'll see. You think square websites are "out" but the TRULY hip are beyond that and already going retro!! =)

    har har - somewhat metaphorically speaking, I drive a Jeep Liberty (bubble) but I always PREFFERRED the line of my old ride, my trusty, rusty Cherokee (square); a college kid blew past me on the Garden State Park in an old rusty Cherokee yesterday - had to say to myself, "still luv that line".

    They recently received a round of funding from Union Square Ventures. CTO Andraž Tori gave a talk at the Global Semantic Web Meetup Mashup on Thursday at the Web 3.0 Conference, sponsored by Reflexions Data.

    So many examples of poor design. The web 2.0 craze is to blame for so many sloppy and generic logos. Has everybody forgotten about kerning either? /graphic designer rant

    Interesting article though folks, nice work. =]

    Hilarious, but so true — thanks for a bubblelicious compilation!

    Is it just me or does Mr Bubble have nothing to do with this aside from the word bubble. There is no speech bubble involved with Mr Bubble that I can see anyway....
  • Paul Glazowski · 1 year ago
    It's just a stab at humor :-)
  • Ben · 1 year ago

    My blog is on Blog-City and their logo has a speech balloon.

    that #$!@*% bubble again: http://artiklz.com - for SURE "the bubble" is going to define web graphic design for now and several years each way. There will come a time when people will say, "fancy a bubble. How 2008."
