You Looked.

It would probably reflect very poorly on a blog if within the span of 5 days, three posts are made, two of which pertained to Google logos. Putting this blog’s (little) reputation on line, that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

Correct me if I’m mistaken, I believe this is the first time Google came up with a logo that is impossible for the human eye to read. There are no letters to read; all you see is a bar-code in remembrance of the day this now-ubiquitous invention came into existence.

As it would make sense to me, I took a screenshot of the homepage and cropped the logo right off the page. But the cropped logo in itself looked so regular (it was a bar-code after all) that I had to take a new screenshot and a bigger crop of the homepage! Here’s what the Google homepage looks like today -

Google came up with a very innovative logo for their homepage today on October 2, Mahatama Gandhi’s birth anniversary, and looking at it only made me wish that I had come up with such a creative piece of art.

A famous sketch of Gandhi’s profile covered up for the G in Google, leaving the famous corporation with only “oogle” to spell out. The way in which Gandhi’s mustache converted what might have been mistaken for a ‘C’ into a ‘G’ was the best part. An extra touch was given by putting the Google logo on a khaki, albeit photoshop-woven.
