Sweet New Google Logo

techeblog.com — Very interesting, in my opinion it looks better than the original design. No more bevel/emboss and better use of gradients.

  • vonskippy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Huge (HUGE) difference. How could people tolerate that old piece of crap logo. Thank GOD they finally got around to fixing their logo. Forget being on the leading edge of technology, just fix the damn logo.

    In other words - who cares? and what difference could it possible make to their day to day operation?
  • Jamminpotato, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3furthermore i thik the old one looks bteter, the 'new
    ' one is kidna falt and unappealing
  • kalphegor, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1ugly
    gmail new icon is awsome
  • teh_toaster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3if it ain't broke don't fix it.
  • diggthiscrap, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0"I, for one, welcome our new Google logo."

    Or should I say Googlogo?
  • dirtyfratboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1i hope they dont go too far with changing the layout and graphics...

    "if it ain't broke don't fix it."
  • Amplix, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Gradiant instead of bevel... Does look much nicer but I don't think the Google logo should be changed too much.
  • mazeleet, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1ugly. spam.
  • SyDIGG, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Frankly, the Google logo has always been ugly. The new one is not that much better. How can you improve on trash? Just start over.
  • everfresh59, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Google logo will never change....That's like having Nike change there swish.....
  • ahrefd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1that's really nice. i digg it, no pun intended
  • ericpp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2In a couple years, gradients will be just as annoying as bevels are...
  • mike2291, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0mirror
  • gab00n, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2They basically just hit it with a sledge hammer.
  • liddy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0honekaimedia-- you are seriously google ga-ga. Oooohhh...an advertising company has a new logo...stop the presses.
  • SyDIGG, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Technically ...its not a logo but a logotype.
  • spadin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's not really a gradient, it's more of a color blend. I think it looks a little more like all the "Web 2.0" logos showing up lately.
  • Warpling, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Looks good small, but bigger, its kinda too "photoshop tutorial lookish" if that makes sense to any of you.....

  • geminitojanus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It's reasonable, but it's not better I don't believe. The lettering is a bit funky (look at the E and the O), the shadow is too close to the word and gives it a more fuzzy look, especially where they removed the bottom bevel. The Google logo as it is now is pronounced and it stands against a background well (but I could see using this new logo for single-tone print since it's sillohette compatible).

    Nice try though.

  • BugMeNot2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0ANYBOBY HAVE A MIRROR?

    Look through your cache!
  • agnoster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Hmmm... the site seems down for me. It really just links to an image on flickr: http://flickr.com/photos/patters/97701731/
  • nstrupp2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Is anyone else tired of links to broken WordPress sites?
  • zone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i don't quite like it.. there's something wrong with the yellow "o" and the "l" looks weird with that dark gradient.. the gradient itself too, cuz the direction is not the same in all the letters.. and i don't see what's up with that.. it's not bad.. but it has some issues...
  • sketchstudios, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0it died the way of the digg
  • helpseeker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0they didn't add a gradient it was there the whole time under the bevel.It's better, just took a while for the best tech people in the world to take off one settting in photshop lmao.
  • MaxPowers, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0ooo something interesting... oh nvm its been dugg... story of my life.
  • mobbydick, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0isn't google's logo hand painted, rather than made with photoshop layer styles?
  • ice2004, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0The link doesnt work anymore maybe too much hits and ran out of space there server is on fire
  • trogdoor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I like the old one better and I see no problem with it.
  • Norse77, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1How is this considered news? Ooh a new logo, does anyone actually care, no digg.
  • ScottDaMan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Current logo is better.
  • Wreckk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That redesign is pretty lame...

    That crap gradient isn't much better then the ancient google bevel.
  • MaxPowers, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0haha, yeah i can imagine the server catching fire right now... that would be something to see
  • SirNuke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's too light in parts and doesn't stand out enough from the white background.
  • michaelburns, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0I love it....

  • Nobi-Wan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Have you guys even read the comment? It's somebody's MOCKUP based on the new Gmail logo. Someone may as well have just pulled it out of their ass.
  • jamiem, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The white on the gradient is a bit too strong.
  • Mediaright, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Maybe...it's ok, I guess. All the guy did was take off most of the bevel...non-story. Undecided if it's really better or not.
  • aggrorobot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This isn't the "new google logo" -- it's someone's speculation based on the gmail logo. "Inaccurate" was added for a reason!

    And if you actually look at the mockup on flickr, it looks so amateurish there's no way you could digg this even as speculation.
  • nfxmedia, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Too subtle to be a redesign. I wouldn't consider this to be a NEW logo. Story is over rated ... no digg.
  • sam54m, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't see a different. when I read the title I thought they were gonna change those goofy colors and go with a better logo or even change the font. Google's logo gotta go.

    I wonder when they will hire a designer to help them out.
  • diggerdong, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1it still looks like a 2 yr old took a box of crayons and wrote google.
  • pranay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1For a moment, if you imagine that the new logo was the old logo (and the old logo was the redesign), you would see that you like the original even more now.
  • m0ngoos3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I COMPLETELY agree with Jamminpotato... The new one is incredibly unappealing

  • ElectricGrandpa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Two things, firstly it's a MOCK UP. This is not google's real new logo. Secondly, it's crappy and no better than the original... Look how messed up the right edge of the O is.
  • handeyman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0techblog.com uses wordpress, and they took the copyright off the bottom, very bad
  • akirakurosawa, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1GOOGLE BLOWS!
  • digitol, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This just in, My front yard grass just grew another .000000001th of an inch. :)
  • zweben, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The idea is good but the execution could be better. Some tweaking and it would be a refreshing alternative.
