Google is crazy again with it's "circle particles". And I thought Google really learned their lesson with all the Pac Man criticism:(

Arggh! It's really annoying. I'm trying to work and it's really putting me off. |
Could this doodle be about Google search event today? Or its birthday? |
Try to check the Chrome tab. |
Hmm that's a cool thing but don't no why?! Search Event is tomorrow. Google Germany tweets: "Unser Logo freut sich heute schon auf etwas wirklich Spannendes später in dieser Woche..." |
But if it's about the birtyday why isn't it global? |
I think they use peoples curiosity to make them use html5 browser in the future. I like the particles... |
For those trying to work, the https version of Google Search has always avoided these gimmicks (so far...):

Made a copy of the logo here: http://www.websonic.nl/google/ballsdoodle/ |
"Google told me "today's doodle is not related to a birthday but is fast, fun and interactive, just the way we think search should be." http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/022861.html |
Got the same statement via email from Google in Dutch. I expect Google will mention this tomorrow at the event. I also expect that Google will mention / introduce streaming search. |
It didn't last too long. Back to the standard logo now. Strange that there was no explanation about it for typical users who were likely confused by it.
I always enjoy their logos and experimentation with them regardless of how distracting they are to some people. |
"And I thought Google really learned their lesson with all the Pac Man criticism:("
The Pac Man logo had two problems that this one didn't, unsolicited sound and keyboard shortcuts that could override the users ability to type those letters in the search box.
I liked the Pac-Man logo, though. If you have to do serious work, you can search Google quite easily in any modern browser without going to google.com |
que
I'm still seeing the Circle Particles |
ArpitNext yep seeing it also |
ArpitNext and @beussery
Instead of it just being a fixed grey....if you start typing in the search box, each letter of the logo turns to its respective colors. |
I like it more than the previous one |
I'm now seeing the new doodle also... I accidentally posted a whole topic on this |
Streaming search it is, Eric Schmidt tweets "I predict big things happening today at Google. We're already fast.. fast is about to get faster." |
