Googe or Google?

Big or small, tall or short, everybody makes mistakes. Even large corporations like Google made one, that too when it comes to their own logo.

We all know that Google celebrates holidays, birthday and other cultural events by modifying their logo (They call it, Google Doodles). On 14th February, Google had a Valentines Day themed logo on their homepage. Surprisingly, they missed “L”

What does “Googe” really mean? According to Urban Dictionary, “Googe is a sexual act originating in the Amazon rainforest”. WoW what a coincidence! ROFL!

Google Doodler, Dennis Hwang immediately pounced back and clarified that Green Stem above the strawberry represents the missing “L”

Usually, I love Google Doodles, but this one so vague that it made fall of the chair! Hopefully, they’ll hire a better designer and avoid such embarrassments in future.

    [...] ‘g’ and the top part of strawberry looks like ‘l’ and I even commented on techbuzz that way. But it seems the ‘l’ is missing indeed and it’s another Google’s [...]
