Perseid Meteor Shower
Today’s logo is, in a word, stellar. And I would say “no pun intended” but there’s no way for me to pretend that pun wasn’t intended.
Apart from the overt sexuality of all those giant sperms falling to Earth (I’m especially digging the one impregnating the O), this Google logo gives us what we like here at Happy Googleday: more logo, less Google. Nothing’s more frustrating than seeing the regular Google logo with nothing more than a beach ball replacing the O. Sure, it was fine in 1999, but our tastes have evolved. That’s why we love today’s logo: the word “google” is literally transparent, directing almost no attention away from the unsuspecting houses which are about to be decimated by hundreds of falling meteors.
Is today’s logo a tribute to an astronomic event, or a viral marketing gimmick for an upcoming sequel to Deep Impact? It doesn’t matter. It’s rad.
Today’s rating: GOOGL (out of a possible GOOGLE)
