Trendspotting : Shards Trend

I have been seeing a lot of this trend in the last year or so. SHARDS, hard edges with sharp points. It is everywhere, even the new city of Melbourne logo. I do like the trend....but it is bordering on overuse I would say at this point. Check out the shards in the background, definitely very 2000 & late....ugh did I say that?

The convention Centre is the Shards trend applied to a building both inside and outside. Quite sharp I might add, I like it.

Timerland, JT and Madonna got in on it too! as they try to outrun the x-ray shards?

And the Shard phone of course

SO where do we go from here guys? What's cool after shards?!
