50 Awesome Examples of Triangles in Design
Today I will profess my love for triangles! Strange love to have, I know. But seriously, right after circles, triangles are the next best thing.
I've always loved triangular elements in design. For me it completes the piece. You can have a very simple composition but as soon as you add a triangle it becomes magical in my eyes :D Apparently triangles are the most unpleasing shape because it confuses the eye with its odd number of points. I heard that in some high school art class once but I don't believe it. Triangles are lovely.
Anyway, enough about that. Here I gathered some nice examples of triangles in design. Some of these have an overall very geometric feel to it (like the ones from Andy Gilmore for example), while others are just simple compositions with a triangle thrown in there. Hope you guys enjoy these and feel free to share with me your undying love for triangles via twitter or facebook ;)

What about this one? A triangle website: http://www.thevectormonkeys.nl/?p=65
Gah, the triangle trend is getting rather old.
Everyone is doing it.
We get it...
I don't like these trends that start with some really good designs.
After a while everyone is doing it and it takes away from the original good ones.
Come one people, try not to fall for designtrends.
Backgrounds made of wallpaper was really cool, now they make me sick.
Then came the wooden floor backgrounds...
Vector traced photos was great in the beginning.
As good as the internet is this is certainly a side effect.
My bet for the next popular shape is the hexagon. Just wait for it.
Amanda!
Please consider some of these for this post!
thanks

I love triangles, have ever since i came in touch with geometric shapes :)
sweet post!
Awsome!!
Good post... !
but, you left out the great dark side of the moon.
Triangles are super-common now... Not original anymore, but they usually make quite stylish designs, so I guess it's still okay :)
As good as the internet is this is certainly a side effect.
trendy.
Hey guys,
The reason I didn't include Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon is because I try to stay away from things that are too mainstream and show you guys something new! Of course, that was a great album cover but I think everybody's familiar with it by now. At least this way you get to familiarize yourselves with different designs and designers :)
@Filipe Your work is awesome! It's a shame I didn't see it before writing this!
@Gris I think I commented on your Facebook about that first picture! I lovelovelove it!
