Here Symbol
This trend I have noticed around quite often. Not really sure how to explain it, but to me, it seems very related to this day and age where technology is constantly advancing. GPS symbols and even text lingo is a huge fad currently so it is not surprising to see them used in design concepts.
Banners
The idea of the banner is also a trend that seems to have reappeared. I personally don't care for it too much outside of when I REALLY feel it is appropriate or necessary (but then again, who defines when things are necessary?) but it is interesting to see a traditional style re-designed with a modern twist. This trend and the one below reminds me of the first styles of advertising making a comeback.
Badges
Unlike the banner above, I really love the traditional/vintage badge trend. I haven't designed anything recently that reflected this style but I would love to and look forward to trying it out for myself. The vintage style with a modern take on it, for the most part, always looks for clean and is a great use of type and design in a confined space.

Photographs + Type
This trend I think I have always gravitated towards. I even recently have done a lot of work in this style. It almost always looks great aesthetically and the type on top of a background image is just such a clean look to me. Plus, I love photography and am now falling in love with type the more I explore it, so combining them together equates to heaven for me right.
