In practice, I try to avoid ongoing trends, ie, a style of design that seems to be popular at a given time. Be it font styles, web 2, colours, transparency etc. Trying to make a design trendy for the sake of being trendy will likely be inappropriate. If the brief dictates a trendy logo then so be it, but if you need to create a more timeless and long lasting logo design, then avoiding trends is probably the wisest choice.

I seem to be falling into a certain style, so it's about feeling comfortable with a certain style that may be a natural evolution of experience.

Good design will start its own trend. i consider a trend a design that's been admired and therefore followed. so by doing a good job with the client in mind perhaps you'll even start your own trend in a way rather then following (not that that's the goal of course).

Trendy means of the times and we live within the times so by definition everything built is somewhat trendy. What a identity designer realy needs to do is communicate the essence on the product or company. It's a mark that if does this well will stand the test of time.

Although I am guilty of RT-ing tweets about "Logo Design Trends", it's typically just to show some cool design work. The first thing I thought when I read one of those for the first time was, "Why the hell would trends matter in logo design". I guess there is an answer there somewhere, but I'll be damned if I can find it. :P Nice post.
