No more Google logos?
Posted June 10th, 2010.
I’ve always liked the Google commemorative logo designs. You’ve no doubt see them celebrating anniversaries, holidays or the lives and accomplishments of famous individuals. Today it seems that’s been knocked on the head in favour of a background image.
This isn’t really something I’ve followed, though I recall the feature having been around for a while. Up until now it has been optional, while today a background image is displayed by default. Though your able to select or upload your own image there is no way ( that I could see… ) to revert to the default background.
Constantly changing logos draped over a photographic background obviously isn’t going to look great, so presumably this is a short term endeavour for a little publicity. I certainly hope so. I’d much prefer the parade of Google Doodles over a pretty but otherwise stagnant background.
What do you think?
Come back logos!
Well today I pulled up Google to see what was happening there and found a stupid soccer picture. BORING! I used to love to see what Google would put up for the holidays around their name and such, was cute. Now what they have is just plain well “Plain”.
Oh well, their loss I guess because I don’t plan on clicking on the pics if that’s what they are hoping for.
Fly,
Thankfully it seems to have only lasted a day.
