Google changed their logo.
It's not just one of those doodles either.
It's the same colors, just a different font.
Personally, I'm more concerned about the fact there's now extra space underneath the search bar.

I am uncomfortable. This has made me uncomfortable.

i'm really sick of how just about every major company has jumped on to the metro look, it's a type of minimalism that i don't care for; it lacks personality

I didn't notice until today's redesign that the "e" is tilted, and now it's probably gonna bother me forever.

Re: Google changed their logo.
I dunno, I think it's kinda cute. The colorful little G logo symbol thing on the tab looks really cute too.
It's got a more "kid"ish kinda look about it, and that's probably why I like it. XD
Gonna take some time to get used to though, for sure. ouo

Re: Google changed their logo.
Eh. I don't mind. Personally, I like streamlined appearances and logos, it's less "hey look at us we're cooky and crazy" mid-60s-to-late-90s attitudeand more "modern, simplistic, and easy to read and understand".

Re: Google changed their logo.
The whole "looking like a kid drew it" thing is actually the biggest part of why I hate this change. Sure it's just a logo change, but a logo defines a company in many cases. If their message is "hey we used a default font that looks like a kid drew it" then what does that say about how the company functions? Clearly Google has been around long enough for us to know they're anything but kid friendly and are eventually gonna take over the world or something, but it's still not a wise image choice on their part.
I don't like it. It doesn't matter at all, but I just don't like it.

It looks like a huge step back from the original imo, especially when it comes to looking professional. :/

Re: Google changed their logo.
Y'know, this whole thing reminds me when Deviantart changed their logo. Completely pointless and it didn't look any better. I still can't find the "D".
At least Google's still makes sense a little.

Re: Google changed their logo.
I'm more worried about the people who stare at the google homepage that long than the fact that they changed their logo.

Re: Google changed their logo.
As long as the handful of Google services I use(Search, Gmail, and YouTube) remain at their current level of usability or improve, I don't give a damn what their logo looks like. Not like I'm ever going to own something engraved/embossed with the Google Logo at a size where I could make out the details.

Re: Google changed their logo.
Eh. Everytime I use Google to search, the logo's always in the top left corner, since I just use the browser search bar.
Google's new web icon bothers me much more though. It's too colorful.

Re: Google changed their logo.
What if
everytime this font is used
an Eldritch Abomination composed of glyphic figures grows stronger, feeding off the lifeforce of every human being who looks at words composed of this font? What if it can see and hear everything we do whenever we are in proximity to this font? What if organizations like Google are just being manipulated into using this font to service the will of a cosmic horror?
Think about how many times a day you see font like this...

Re: Google changed their logo.
Ivo, I think you're describing Alphabet Man from Virtua Fighter 3.
If Alphabet Man is coming to Earth (and other planets we haven't found with life.), then I vote we all switch to Vipnagorgialla.

Re: Google changed their logo.
ivo, i kinda love that <3
This maybe has more to do with Google's restructuring into the holding company Alphabet, which Google is now a subsidary of. "G" is for Google, as the new slogan goes. Apparently they said the logo better displays on all devices or something or other.
But arbitrary or not, baloney or not, it has already grown on me and I agree with it being cutey-ish

Re: Google changed their logo.
@Ivo: Would my blindness render me immune to these effects? Is this me getting the Call to step up and Save the World/Internet from this Eldridge Horror because I just so happen to be blessed with suck in just the right way to render me immune to it's primary mode of attack? Am I about to live out every Computer Geek's fantasy of being digitized, gaining super powers, and going on an Epic Quest throughout Cyberspace to protect the ignorant masses from a threat beyond their puny little brains' collective understanding? Does this sound like the set-up for a Chao island crackfic?

Yes.
No, while it can influence the world of electronics, it's actually an entity that exists on physical paper- like that talking book alien with reality-bending powers from the eleventh episode of Space Dandy. You will have to rise to the occasion and become a badass normal to fight it with your bare hands, or the world is doomed.
No, CI crackfics never sound that cool ( -_-)

This kills the Google. I'm pretty sure Bing is the better search engine now, let's all use that.

Re: Google changed their logo.
Using Bing would mean violating my personal boycott of Microsoft.
Anyways, back to the Eldridge horror that threatens our world:
Things I have going for me:
-I'm of above average intelligence.
-I'm immune to it's sight-based attack.
-I'm really good at using my sense of touch to make up for my lack of vision.
Things I have working against me:
-At best, my intellect is of the brillant, but lazy variety; At worst, I'm just of above average intelligence, not a genius.
-I have no muscles worth speaking of and I'm obese(basically, I'm a tall, fat nerd as far as physique is concerned)
-My prior combat experience consists of losing to bullies, Wrestling other obese blind persons(and could never the one guy in my weight class who was genuinely athletic), and some beginner level Martial Arts I've forgotten.
-I'm vulnerable to both bright lights and loud noises.
-I've got muscle and joint pains you'd expect from someone twice my age.
So, how screwed are we if we can't find other, more physically capable blind persons?
Also, what does a famous, public domain author of American literature have to do with a modern-day technology conglomerate changing its logo font?
