20 Creative Cloudy Designs

Designs that are based on clouds have struck me a number of times. This post is to show the usual and unusual use of clouds in webdesign. I have collected a few designs that are amazing and some of them prove that clouds doesn’t always need a blue sky to make it beautiful. Not sure how long this trend is gonna survive!

    I happen to use clouds too, just on the purple background, since purple+green is one of my favorite colour palettes.

    @Nidia: Thanks for your comment. I think the cloudy trend evolved even before skype included the negative clouds concept. Even I had designed a few cloud based websites. But, at that point of time it was more of a real/natural cloud than a cartoony one :-)

    However, the trend rocks!

    Weird, I recently designed a site and added some clouds without even think it was a trend, just that it made sense with the entire idea. Don’t you think that the skype which uses white negative clouds and its clody logo was somehow an influence on spreading this cloudy trend?
    I believe that this ‘trend’ can evolve with time… Great post!
