![]() To say that Google has redesigned unintentionally and without a thought is unjust. By going flat, “shooting the serif” with Product Sans (its own creation) and adding elements of different Google products, it actually has outdone itself in the redesign arena. From chunky letters to serif and now sans-serif fonts, Google knows the need of the design hour. With the change of each logo, we witness Google has adapted well to the font of the time (see below). All through the ages Google has maintained its brand color, and that has been critical too in this new logo to sustain branding. While the above tweets seemed to indicate people hated the design, the evolution of the Google logo to this stage was expected. A new logo was needed to represent this, and appeal to the masses to accept the change. The old logo needed to jumpstart fans and followers to come on board with its new brand direction, and tell the story of an interactive brand that will eventually dominate all type of devices. Google has always been a youthful brand that spearhead all things innovative. So while Alphabet will hold the other brands, Google the brand will be exclusive to all things search whether its searching for people, location, things on the internet, offline monuments or whatever strikes the user. It needed an identity change that would separate it from the core service it provides. Google is no longer associated with search engine alone. Google no longer represents the mixed bag of highly diversified product offering from Nest to Android OS etc. Alphabet became the announcement of this change, and the logo announced yesterday was a visual reflection of this. ![]() It stuck with its logo variations but the time has come that it redefined its mission and vision. It did that for many years, and grew into a giant of a brand. Google had started out with a search engine that was simple and easy to use. There have been sure signs of a logo redesign in the case of Google. Brand redesigns don’t happen overnight they happen for several reasons. While the online community is busy oohing and aahing about the new logo, here’s a thought to go forward with. If you’ve been reading the signs you’d have known why Google has redesigned its brand identity. Hey I think an evil human-killing computer super-cluster would have much better design sense. I wonder how many people were involved and how much money was spent to change the font? /Yf5kcT2OwH They didn’t hesitate a minute to show their disapproval.Īnd with that, the elusive serif’s conservation status was reclassified to Critically Endangered #Google #googlelogo Hi you’ve inspired us too… #Googlelogo #SmilingE /RIuysTkdskĪnd then there were others (including companies) who were not so kind, downright mean is an understatement.

While co-founder Larry Page at the time had made it clear that Alphabet will not be branded, the question that boggled us all had been, “What’s the future like for Google?” (Read that “what’s going to happen to us!”). So it was quite a shock when Google announced a conglomerate company Alphabet which would rule all the brands Google had acquired and given its users pleasure over the years. ![]() ![]() What do you think of #Googles new logo? /DhVCGo2csX That’s what make Google such a beloved brand. Since its inception as “Backrub” to “Google”, the brand has been transforming lives with some of the most fantastic products and services, namely, a no-nonsense search engine a dynamic social network that brings professionals together an email system that is utterly reliable and an always available Google drive, to name a few. If the innocuous transformation (below) of the four colorful dots from circles to a complete Google logo isn’t a reflection of the fact that Google rules our world, then what does, I don’t know.
