Logo design follows interesting trends. A while back the “swoosh” was the predominant feature of way too many logos, and another overused feature was the leaf. Case in point: the photo above.

There are three leaf logos in this photo, but there’s also a leaf on the Applebee’s sign obscured in the background…and Kirkwood Bank was just to my right as I took this photo. That’s five leaves within a one block radius, a new record in my book.
