   I hope they don’t keep it! It’s very hard to read
   and has no theme, usually Google only changes it when it’s a holiday, or something important.

   You people are over exaggerating. Sure it’s not the best looking logo, but I still find it easy to read.

   You guys are sooo clueless… Did you at least click on it to see where took you?
   Wikipedia: The first working laser was demonstrated on May 16, 1960…

   And today’s date is???? You guessed it, May 16th.

   It’s for the first laser being made. Still looks quite bad though. And idea for a game:

   - Indestructotank
   - Path finding (like in desktop TD)
   - 3D?

   Ha! Thats funny, my mom just barely said something about that, and then, I log onto this site for the second time today and theres a post on it.

   That really is a bad logo. I hope they don’t keep it, not even for the rest of the day. I’ll have to search on live search for the remainder of the day.

   I don’t see what’s wrong with it, personally. It signifies an important event and integrates the ideas of lasers into the logo subtely (as in the logo is subtle, not the lasers).

    i think is a perfectly good logo, although it is hard to read, i highly doubt that anyone has seen that logo and thought to them selves “what does that say”, its Google, everyone knows what it says. and if you click on the image it will show you what the design represents.

    Loved it! It reminds me of a laser setup I observed at U of C in 2001…

    I like it. Up with lasers!

    (Here’s hoping your game isn’t the same idea I’ve been working on for weeks)

    Haha. They just did it again with Walter Gropius’ 125th Birthday. It’s even less readable.

    Well, i think that it dosen’t matter, its just for one day, its not like it’ll kill u…

    I think that its nice that google makes new banners whenever its a special day. Its the only site that ive seen that does that.

    I think the logo is really nice. “Google” can be easily spotted and it matches the theme for that day nicely, which is lasers I believe from the looks of it. Well done.

    I saw it the day it came up and I liked both the design and the the fact that it’s a tribute to technology.

    Just got even worse with the Tetris logo. What a mess it looks and cannot really read the company name of Google.

    All seems pretty pointless to me

    its not like that is gonna be the official logo…yes, it does suck, but the current one blows even more…it’s like some sorta’ flagrantly gay* 2011

    *disclamer-gay is not intended to be an offensive term, simply a use of stereotypical verbiage (ps, get over it)

    pps: how do we tell them their logo sux??
