Korean Independence Day
Ahhh, a chance to celebrate what Korea is most famous for. The Pepsi logo and New York City’s Washington Arch.
The thing that surprised us most is that Google’s top logo artist, Dennis Hwang, is Korean himself. At first we thought something may have been lost in translation with this one, until it dawned on us that this logo is commentary on how Google’s own “glocalization” of the internet has made national iconography a relic of an isolationist past. Sure, it reads “Goonle,” but perhaps that Engrish-ization of the word Google is the true genius of this piece.
