Not long ago, Mashable did a very cool roundup of 15 Online Graphics Generators - with a heavy emphasis on the Web 2.0 style. This post was inspired by that list - with no duplicates, and additional resources including pre-created images/logos, tutorials, WordPress Web 2.0 themes etc. And since it’s not exactly an original idea, I decided to double their 15.
- Web2Logo.com - hundreds (thousands?) of current web 2.0 company logos
- LogoTwo.com - another web 2.0 logo showcase - and you can rate them if you’re that bored
- Post-it Note Generator - create “Post-It Note” style images
- LogoCreatr - lots of templates and choices to create your own Web 2.0 Logo - just don’t forget to drop the vowels
- BlogButton - by the same folks who created LogoCreator comes BlogButton
- How Web 2.0 Logos are drawn (Photoshop) - tutorial

Web 2.0 Programming
- GD is an open source code library for the dynamic creation of images by programmers. GD creates PNG, JPEG and GIF images, among other formats.

While not restricted to use on the web, the most common applications of GD involve web site development.
- DHTML/AJAX Tutorials
- Socute and Sodelicious - two web 2.0 WP themes
