Log N - log S diagrams are being used as powerful diagnostic tools to probe evolutionary properties of different extragalactic populations. In the optical/near-infrared regime the discrepancy between near-infrared number counts which follow theoretical predictions and counts in the B band which show an excess density revealed a new population of galaxies. The nature of this population of faint blue galaxies is still unknown.
