flickr.com — Today, Google changed their logo within Gmail to complement the soon-to-come talk features. For some, only the word "Mail" has this effect, for others, the entire "GMail" looks like this. It's nicer to the eye than the original one. This is a mock-up of the Google logo with the new effect, and it looks nicer than the current tacky logo.

I like the design. I think the flatness and sharpness of the letters is cool.

I dugg it b/c this one actually points to the photo on Flickr. The one one the front page points to a blog which then point to Flickr ...which is just stupid. Digg the source, not the blogging of it.

I think that mock-up is a big improvement (though not usable because of the chipped 'O').I remember watching a documentary on google a while back and I'm fairly sure they mentioned it was Sergey Brin that designed it himself. Check wikipedia on it (believe it or not the logo used to be even worse!) <a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_logo">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_logo</a>So not only is the logo rubbish, but they misspelled the word too!

Googles current logo is lame. This is lame.
