Funny new logo

Frosty scratching his head

Looks like Google got some serious powder.

Too cute, the snowkid is rolling a new O to replace the old one.
I guess they really are going to have to make some yellow snow!

What's with the green carrot nose? Spoiled or something? LoL

Just pointing downwards and slightly away.

I have been wondering about the .. ahem.. shoveling technique of the big snowman. I have spent quite a lot of my life with a shovel in my hands and over the years I must have seen hundreds of people using a shovel. I have never seen anyone handling a shovel the way it is done on picture 2. Never.

It just occured to me that the snowman is wearing a yellow scarf. They might do something with that for the new O they have to build. The drama unfolds!

Now I understand everything... this is like a mini mini storyboard, I can't wait till the next picture, and the new image should be up in google.co.nz by now - Its Friday 1:18AM, but oh well, US leads the world.

Guys, the snowman building represents a recursive algorithm. The big snowman is coaching the little snowman on building a still smaller snowman. Kind of like a fractal.

Unless I'm missing something the completed logo is kind of disappointing. The O that was plowed away has now been replaced with a snowball of equal size that was apparently built by the smaller snowman. I guess there's no real point to it, but it is kind of cute. Especially after reading the article about the guy who does these logos for Google.

I am a bit disappointed too. I thought that it would turn into "Go IPO" with "IPO" inverted and the letter "E" tilted at 45 degrees as in E****. Talking of metaphors ... (Just kidding ;), GG)

Sometimes a holiday logo is just a holiday logo, IITian. ;) I have to say, I really enjoyed reading the speculation and micro-analysis of the snowmen though. :)
