Heheheh. And I thought we were being original using wrap around ribbons for menus and other bits. The big question is how long do you think the trend will last before its outdated and ‘so last week’?

Thought this was an interesting article and one that has some very inspiring sites in it. I see a lot of sites using ribbons within their sites when I am looking for inspiration and I think we have to be careful how they are used within a design because they can make or break a design in my opinion. There are some great examples here and the one that stood out for me was the Tech jobs under site. It stood out for me because of the design of the ribbon, it broke away from what you would consider a normal ribbon. Great article and I look forward to more from yourself.

I like the ribbons when they are subtle, overdone they can look a little tacky. The ribbons that are asymetrical also seem to work a little better imho. Could be a great design feature though, especially for female or wedding orientated sites.

For the majority of these, the uses of the ribbons isn’t all that creative. They’re just being used for aesthetics, as usual.
