Google Logo




 The Google logo has more meaning and representation than most people realize. There are a couple different meanings in the the logo its self.
    One is the colors. If you look at it closely you will realize that all but one of the letters is a primary color. The the "L" is a secondary color. The reason for this is that the Google company wanted to express that Google doesn't follow the rules. There is also another meaning, the first three colors are representing primary colors in the arts while the last three represent web colors (RGB).
   Even the font has meaning. The font for this logo is Catull. The reason the designers chose this one is because it fulfilled all that they wanted the logo to say. The font is playful yet simple, effortless reading, subtly sophisticated with some humor. While also looking like an old quill and chisel look with a modern look. All these things are exactly what Google wanted to portray. The thought that google is easy to use, can be fun, but also serious along with tying the old and the new together to create something for everyone.
   The name "Google"itself also has meaning. The name is a play on the word googol which is a number with 100 zeros. This represents the creators (Larry Page and Sergey Brin) mission to organize almost infinite amounts of information on the web
