What’s interesting to me is the adoption of rather rounded geometric sans serif typefaces on all three.

We stole the idea from Dan: http://chameleon.simplebits.com/
I think the look is just swell.

Stephan, I can’t read their minds but I’d guess that it adds an artistic feel to the sites and as derek said, it provides the opportunity to use more than a couple of colors in the template.

i think the trend is great. it allows for a much greater color palette for website layouts. i’ve always limited myself to three or four colors but having a multi color top bar gives you so much more flexibility. i guess the trick is not getting carried away.

as great as veerle’s layout is, i think there are way too many colors going on. just my own personal tastes.

what’s the reason Rachel?
just for prettiness?
