This is supposed to be a commercial but it hardly feels like it..
This is plain awesome! (http://www.flatvsrealism.com/)
Yeah, because "flat design" was "invented" on 2013.
That was pretty damn cool! But it took me two viewings to realize what it was advertising.
That might say more about me, though...:-[
In recent history, posters(and other kinds of art) during the art deco period could be considered flat design in contrast to the very lifelike and nature inspired art nouveau that came before. So I guess flat design isn't really new. Minimalism (prior to the movement in late-mid 1900, albeit not having a name) and simplicity has been around for a pretty long time. I've seen the commercial once before and I thought it was pretty interesting.

I guess I'll never know, 'cos I'm not watching the whole thing again.

hmmm, the page loaded to a display of a huge 100 on screen and the nothing happened.
But this flat design is everywhere today:

I agree with this one. Don't know why the hell they are so
inclined to make logos flat. Realism IS the way to go and difficult to pull off, imho.
It's just a trend. Today is flat design, some time in the future will be other thing. Designers are like that, they have their own trends, and they rotate each certain amount of time.
And is "realism" just using some little shadowing and little textures? I think that's bad usage of the term.

It also includes skeuomorphic design (http://skeu.it/).
A point for flat design in logos is that these logos can be printed on clothing, engraved, printed black and white et cetera without changing their appearance too much.
