A great article for Graphic Designers, found at LogoLounge.
Periodically, something truly surprising and unexpected pops up. Finding those little treasures are one of the great perks of categorizing 27,000 logos, as LogoLounge and a talented panel of judges just did in preparation for our fourth book. But there's always that natural undercurrent of influence that touches this design and that, a drift of scent, a faint change in air temperature. It's there, but almost not.
This year, however, it seems as though there has been a change in the nature of trends themselves. Instead of a hub-to-spoke relationship in which trends fan out from a central source, prevailing tendencies in logo design now seem to send out long underground runners that poke through the dirt in unrelated, unexpected places, anywhere in the world. It's harder and harder to trace the rhizomatous spread of ideas anymore - which truly is a good thing.

Nice job of them effectively stealing the 9rules logo.
Also, a lot of these plastic business cards are just plain lame. It's incredibly easy to get plastic see-through biz cards. Let me take this opportunity to point out the cards on this list that are simply uninspired or lame:

The Public is more familiar with bad design than good design. It is, in effect, conditioned to prefer bad design, because that is what it lives with. The new becomes threatening, the old reassuring.
-Paul Rand
However, a lot of these cards are gimmicky and knock offs. I don't think I would appreciate trying to put them in a Rolodex.
That said, it was still fun to see them.
