Google Logos Collection and Google Paintings

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

Google displays this logo today across all its home pages celebrating Earth Day (april 22, 2008).

 

 


Ten years ago when Google was in beta stage they used this logo. In the meantime Google designed several hundred different logos.

  

My favorite design is the logo celebrating Joan Miró’s birthday on April 20th, 2006.

There are different sites on the web featuring google art. I recommend the website Google Logos Collection, with Official Google Logos and Unofficial Google Logos by Google fans, maintained by Vamsi Gangavalli.  He also operate a Search Engine Optimization Forums where SEO and SEM related issues are discussed. The Google Official Logos are Copyright to Google.

Valérie Grancher, a french artist graduated by the Ecole Nationale des Beaux Arts de Paris on 1995, focused on Google oil paintings. He is represented by the Lincart Gallery in San Francisco. In 2004, Valérie Grancher published a limited edition of 250 numbered copies of his book “Web Drawings” at Onestar Press.

A nice blog about google issues (Googlified : Everything Google) is run by Haochi Chen and a few friends he met on the Net.
