Create your own Google dots logo
- lazyjeff 16y agoThis is a little bit different -- the dots don't fall back down after a while if you leave the cursor there, whereas the Google ones did. Is this intentional? And is it okay to reuse this on other sites?

- mbrenig 16y agoThe dynamics is all coming from Rob Hawkes' code (available on github)... writing your own text is just a bit of fun I added on top. If you want to reuse it - go for it! What have you got in mind!?
- jpcx01 16y agoYes. This is exactly what the internet needs.

- iamdave 16y agoOff topic: is anyone else slightly annoyed when people link attribution to twitter profiles?
- novum 16y agoWhat would you prefer? I suspect most people don't need any more email. Twitter is as good a medium as any, and if you do need to discuss in more detail, I'm sure they're happy to receive your email feedback.
- duck 16y agoI was surprised when this became a "trend" since I figured most people would want someone to visit their own site first, but it turns out to work pretty well as long as their twitter profile is decent.
- mbrenig 16y agoYes! You might notice that I created my twitter account just for this show-and-tell. I didn't want to put my email address, and I don't have a blog right now, so twitter seemed like a good compromise.
- the_sinz 16y agoexcept that when the browser window is resized, at google the dots were moving
- brianwillis 16y agoInteresting. Is each character dynamically generated, or is there a hard-coded mapping from characters to dots? I'm guessing the latter as it doesn't seem to work with non-latin characters.
- JeremyBanks 16y agoThere's a credit for "lettering" so I'd assume it's hard-coded.
- mbrenig 16y agoThat's right. Here's the big reveal: http://twitter.com/emilepetrone/status/24005757704 http://twitter.com/emilepetrone/status/24005757704 Thanks again to Emile for patiently drawing the letters!
- tectonic 16y agoThe google one actually shook the dots if you shook the browser window. Did anyone else notice that?
- roryokane 16y agoDoes anyone have a link to a copy or reproduction of the original Google dots logo? I missed it on September 7, when it was on the Google homepage.
