Everything about the logo sucks -- the lettering, the colors, the shape, etc. etc.
It's just a bad logo. Period. Nothing special about it.
Had this not been a logo for Google, NOBODY would bother justify its creation and NOBODY would ever call it a "good" or "great" logo.
- you said this :)monospaced
- you remembered :-)chukkaphob
- But it is a logo for Google. So, the colours and what preceded it are essential to how one feels about it.MrT
- You clearly have absolutely no idea what you're talking about :)set
- Fuck this. Google is killing it with design and this comment is pure ignorance :)qoob
- Jesus, from a brand perspective what the fuck were you expecting?Ianbolton
- design exists in context, & this is an amazing bridge from where they are to where they go. the equity they've build is worth millions...showpony
- how dumb would it be to just throw away all that equity because you don't "like" the colors...showpony
- sounds like the shit i hear from junior designersdirtydesign
- Calm your tits, guise. I was talking about the original logo which in turn created the branding continuity constraints that affected the redesign.chukkaphob

I gave it a day, and I actually kind of like it. But I find it surprisng every time I use the search or Gmail, because I'm not used to seeing it.
Still, it's clean and playful. I like it.
- yep same. perfect evolution and looks so clean on all devices. what did people expect when improving a basically bad logo - but they did improve it.fadein11

- the lc 'g' feels wrongGnash
- The alignment, or lack thereof, of the 'l' and 'Switzerland' is really awkward.set
- completely agree with gnash, they should have went with this style: http://www.illuminan…
it's more google_niko - they fixed the alignment of 'l' and Switzerland:

- People who say it is 'too simple' are simply too simple. If you're able to have the most simple thing possible globally associated with your brand...set

- It is nice but Google want to position themselves as more than a search engine though bro. Phones, maps, e-commerce, laptops, cars, email blah blah. etc.HAYZ1LLLA

- apart from 4 apps you use everyday you don't use google so shouldn't care about their logo as a designer in a design forum - you rock man.fadein11
