Great design, but it's funny how you can infer what a company actually is by contrast to what it's trying too hard to be. Google has a very childish logo (the doodle even emphasis that) to have the company look like a fun and happy company, whereas people fear it's going to become the next big brother.
When you see it that way, it's almost an admission of guilt. No company would put so much emphasis on child imageries if it weren't fearing so much. Google is accused of controlling your life, so it's using the symbol of the exact opposite of "in control", aka small children.
- CardenB 11y agoI think you're trying a bit too hard here. Google has had this sort of branding for a long time, including pre-snowden.
- bsaul 11y agoThey went from "lively and fun" with bright colors to "childish" with the font on this latest iteration ( once again, the doodle says it all). Given the company's bank account, and the fact that we're talking about the company's main logo, i don't think this kind of evolution is only due to one designer's decision.
