No matter how long I stare at it, I fail to see the entire “google” text in that logo.
I’m starting to think that it’s a subliminal trick to promote drug usage, because as I see it, the only way that you can translate that, is under heavy dose of meth or similar.
I Can see the first G, first O, second G and possibly the L being either the drop down, or the empty spot.
So what you’re saying is, you have to look at it, spin around 3 times, move your monitor to face south, count backwards from 1,000,000 by Pi each time and use your Xray vision and then you’ll be able to clearly distinguish “Google” in there?
Google Australia, China and some other places where it’s Saturday already are displaying a special logo doodle celebrating Tetris. The alt text reads “Celebrating 25 Years of The Tetris Effect - courtesy of Tetris Holding, LLC”, and the logo is linked to a search for tetris. Wikipedia knows: “Tetris … is a puzzle video game originally designed and programmed by Alexey Pajitnov. It was released on June 6, 1984”.
And did you know? One of the original makers of Tetris is now working at Google – Google Australia, specifically, on the Google Wave project. Sydney Morning Herald reports: “Vadim Gerasimov was just 15 when he was taken under the wing of two Russian computer engineers – Alexey Pajitnov and Dmitry Pavlovsky – at the Moscow Academy of Sciences and helped them create Tetris … Since around 2003 Gerasimov has lived in Australia, where he worked in complex systems research with the CSIRO [Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Research Organization] before joining Google about a year and a half ago.”
