Valentine's Day at Google

For Valentine's Day, Google prepared some special logos and design changes. Here's the kitschy Google Docs with custom icons and a prominent "Happy Valentine's Day!" at the top of the page (it reminds me of Slashdot's pink theme for April Fools' Day 2006: OMG!!! Ponies!!!).

Google Docs Pink Theme

There's an interesting doodle on the homepage:


...and YouTube has a commonplace logo:


Over the years, Google changed its logo and even linked to a Java animation. Last year, Gmail removed the invitations and Google surprised everyone with a doodle that seemed to miss a letter.

If you spot something different with Google's sites today, post it in the comments.

{ Thank you, Ilya and Nathan. }

  5. Why can't they give us the option of skinning their apps all the time. I have looked at the same boring blue stuff since Google started offering apps.

    At least yahoo let you skin the mail app.

  10. Google always one step a head in technology. You can expect anything from Google. They way they are moving I am afraid after some time there will be only one search engine. On every year they come up with new ideas and graphics.

  13. Google's Valentine's Cartoon sent I.E. for a loop on my PC and finally locked up the whole machine!!! I thought the days of loop errors were over with the Commode 64!! Thank you Microsoft A-holes for showing me that you still can't write a program correctly. And you want me to buy into Windows 8!!!
