google logos

The shadow is ludicrous.

Actually the fifth one would be the best if not for the smiley face.

fuck branding people. add serious meaning to a really simple idea and you make a shit ton of money.

Branding is important for a small struggling company that needs every edge it can get. The Google logo is anti-brand in exactly that sense: Our ideas are so good, we don't need a fancy-pants logo. However, Google is definitely brand-conscious at this stage. Note the disappearance of "Froogle", for instance. Pretty soon, YouTube will be Google YouTube and then Google Tube and then long after Google Video has been buried, just that.

froogle was mad gay

Froogle was playful, mad gay or no. Google is long past the point of that kind of playfulness now.

(would be OK, esp at small size, but no good for the holiday variations)

Has Google always had a logo in the address bar or is this new as of today? (I'm talking about the lowercase "g.")

Yes, but it got changed today: http://blogoscoped.com/archive/2008-05-30-n48.html

Fuck knows why.

google pathos

i still have an uppercase g

Favicon. That's the word I was trying to think of. Anyway, I'd like to register my dislike of the new one. Divorced from the whole word, it just looks like a purple number 8.

oh wait google.com is an uppercase G but everything else is lowercase

greasemonkey for the win: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/27548

Hmmm, that Favicon Picker seems to work for adding a favicon to bookmarks, but it doesn't change the default favicon in the address bar or on tabs when you open a website.

i like the borderless look of the new one

lovgle?

this vernal equinox one looks like it says "gooolo"

i think it looks like 'googlo' i dont know how that last letter could be an 'e'

aw its the v hungry caterpillar

That's awesome.

i think it looks like 'googlo' i dont know how that last letter could be an 'e'

it can't be. but it's google. so you know it is. less whinin' more "aw" pls.

srsly don't overthink this pls

i'm not really whinin', but they've done dozens of these that are cool-looking and legible, so when i open up my browser for the 5 millionth time and actually don't immediately think "google" when i see the logo i kinda think c'mon, you guys are pros at this, what gives.

The strawberry is tilted so it's clearly an 'e'. Have you considered the problem is you?

corngoolio

ok if we're gonna have a silly argument, let's have a silly argument: how many fonts have an 'e' with a perfectly round hole and no line underneath the enclosed circle?

i mean they could've had mr. caterpillar help create a clear e instead of just hanging around with the o's not doing shit

Guys there's only so much you can do with MS Paint OK?

you guys are pros at this, what gives.

Actually, it's just one dude. I saw a little tv clip about him once. His entire job is to come up with goofy logos so people on forums can trash talk them. Best job evah!

ok, that guy is a pro, but like i said he usually does good work, which makes the iffy work more glaring!

Write him a letter.

i'll write him a letter with e's that are all slightly tilted circles and see how well he understands it

hed probably understand it ok

Written him a letter using the Eric Karl fruit font!

top notch aspie bating well played google

or should i say well played GOOOLO

don't you mean GOOOOOOOLOL

yes that is what i meant GOOOOOOOOOLOOOOOLOOLOLOLOLLLLOOOOOLLOLOLOLOLOL

There's an Easter egg if you search for ascii art

Gfeetgle! Xpost

playing pacman yo

not sure there are collisions - i think the way the wire is bent (and the way the virtual version is programmed) restricts the movements of each of the pivots so that the vanes can't collide. (grab the bog yellow thing and spin it - the big blue thing starts moving before collision can happen)

the lack of depth perception is confusing sometimes though.

I have an animated logo about the Monkey King on my google.

I forwarded a letter to my senator about my opposition to the "Stop Online Piracy Act". I actually got an e-mail back (this stuff happened about a month ago). The letter back talked about why I shouldn't be concerned and how only foreign websites are going to be effected blah blah blah. Now I'm pissed off at my senator. Why couldn't he have just ignored my letter. I was also pissed off when I got a letter back in which my senator defended cuts to unemployment comp. I hate that he gets the last word

Not seeing Black Bar google using Opera in Canada. A little sad!

yeah todays zipper made me laugh out loud in my office, loved it.

OMG tho I never even made the "unzip google's doodle" leap, which my disgusting housemate just did :/ ewww.

(as in, its a fly rather than a jacket)

big google penis flies @ u face

my first thought was that this was some kind of Sticky Fingers tribute, yeah

y'day's one looked like a racist 6-year-old had been playing in MS Paint

WOW. Robert Moog!

omg so fun

yeah, so great! been making tones all evening.

holy shit, this is excellent. and four-track recording.

At the end of the day, some time you just want to keep on googlin'. #searchin'withthebestofthem

Can only play one note at a time. Just like the real thing!

Functional pitch-bend wheel if you can get the mouse pointer there in time

you just gotta use yr keyboard for the keys, leaves your mouse free for the pitch bending and oscillators, etc.

as soon as i press any key, it jumps to the search bar. how do you play it w/the keyboard?

or do you mean MIDI?

Click on the Moog's keyboard first.

thx now it worx (thought i'd already tried that)

i like how the needle on the VU meter jumps when you first press record

(someone has done lots of time with analog reel-to-reels)

Alan Turing's 100th Birthday

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-fuRsRzDsdi4/T-VrKSmNuqI/AAAAAAAAEUU/93AmnRq2z6c/h120/turing.tiff

There's a puzzle here, I can't figure it out.

It's a Turing Machine.

Got it. You have to change the program at the bottom so that the 5 digit target in the top right matches the number on the main tape. There are 6 levels, each one corresponding to a letter in 'Google', which lights up when you've figured out the sequence for that letter.

I just sat and watched my housemate solve the damn thing in 5 mins flat, explaining to me what he was doing, and I had no effing idea what was going on.

One of the hits I got after solving was a pretty interesting perspective on his death:
