Post Office Delivers the End of Web 2.0

September 25, 2009 at 10:19 AM by Justin Kerr

Remember the large fonts, shiny surfaces and lickable buttons from a few years ago? Although there was some confusion about what exactly Web 2.0 was (a movement? a structure? a style?), there were definitely design elements that were emulated, copied and recycled.

The United States Postal Service has never been known for cutting-edge anything, but their take on Web 2.0 style heralds the tail end of this trend. Icons that cast a shadow as well as a reflection? Really, USPS?

shiny, shadowy icons?

Totally unnecessary. These would actually be pretty nice without the shadow or reflection effects.
