As other strong brands, Google likes to play around with its logo. It started with inconspicuous adjustments, mostly on the two OO's. You can tell that marketing research showed that the Google clientele (i.e. just about everybody) must have appreciated this, because the Google art department has gone berserk. Great was 'the 50th anniverary of Yuri Gagarin's first trip into space' last week. It even inspired a fun art lesson that day. Looking at the
Google Logo overview , the Gagarin Google logo seems to have disappeared - too many US complaints? The 200th anniversary of Robert Bunsen (Europeans go; who?! The guy who invented the Bunsen burner, which is used in labs) inspired another beautiful Google logo, very subtle... see?
Today I open Google with mixed feelings. It is the 122th anniversary of Charlie Chaplin's birth (122??), but as today's Google logo celebrates the brilliant film maker with a reference to 'The Great Dictator', with the actual logo showing nothing but gothic nazi font and a play on the hitler moustache - today's logo reminds me more of Hitler than of the brilliant Chaplin. Or is it just me...?!
