I always thought the "Don't Be Evil" phrase was more like a don't be comically evil. Don't wear black suit, boring logo and more imaginary related to an evil person. Instead be fun, use kindergarten colors, use the fun noogler hat and offices that look like playground. Evil seems like a cartoon-ish word for me and feels like this was more of a reminder to the whole company that they are doing some sketchy things with users' data so let's be sure to not be 'evil' about it. If you think about it from this perspective a lot of the Google-way of being makes sense.
