They went gone did get all growed up!
In crayon, no less.
Anyway, nothing I need give a flying duck about. Google's too big, self entitled, and (most troublesome of all) everyone has total trust in them. I ain't using that!

How do you pronounce the κ?
@muirium:
All that couns is that they use a good logo. With a bad one, things will get sownhill for them.
Look at SGI, Cherry or Deutsche Bahn:
vs.

Google's old logo was hideous! They were such a 1990s child, like eBAY! and YA---HOOOO!! that it's kind of surprising they didn't include a ! in the name as well.
Fun fact: Microsoft's logo through all the glory years of PC world dominance was in Helvetica. Not the Arial shite they actually included in their OS! Cheap bastards.

Γ sounds a bit like the German j and κ like k. Together they sound like g
ο and υ together sound like u
So it's γκ(g) ου(oo )γκ(g) λ(l).
Of course oo sounds "longer" than u so you could write it as γκουουγκλ!
I'm not really good describing all that stuff though, so I hope it makes a bit of sense!

Crayon me surprised: a positive take!

This guy is usually unafraid to piss all over bad work. Weird. Especially the bit about being better than Apple or even IBM at the end! Did they buy you a drink?
Anyway, I think they would have been better to just go with the dots! Bold. But so ubiquitous that everyone will have their logo burned into their brain quite soon, no matter what it is.

The difference in SVG size is hugely significant though. They'll gather brand identity on this logo before soon. They're Google, everyone knows them by now. They've been using the same font for several products before now anyway, just look at the Google Authenticator logo for example.

Please elaborate. Granted, the font might be a little boring and safe for a company logo but I don't really see any fault with the font itself. It's highly legible. It's fine. It's a font. That's about as passionate as I'm ever going and willing to be about a font. Albeit, I tend to favor sans-serif.andrewjoy wrote: ↑Its just a bad font , with the old one they had brand identity now its all new.
I don't really get the whole hipster thing around fonts when someone goes "Ugh, Helvetica" or "Arial, really?!". I even watched that Helvetica documentary to try and understand the phenomenon, and some of the comments against the font were just pants-on-head retarded.
What I do have problems with is Google's overall colour schemes. They could better than blasting a screen full of white pixels in their search results. My main issue with the logo has always been the colour scheme but that's what we get for living in a world where it's essential to push Coca Cola to toddlers.
