Google in love

Google is famous for its doodles and holiday logos. Today’s is not an exception: Valentine’s Day is as good an excuse as any to be creative. I just thought it was funny that they overlooked the spelling and missed the L, resulting in Googe. Is it coincidental, or is it that the L is out for lunch or the artist is in love ;-)

Google in love

P.S. Oh, well, I should have known better. Had I read the official Google blog today, I would have known that this all was intentional. Moreover, as someone at reddit noted:

The logo is intentional, and is a reference to Barnabe Googe, a 16th century poet famous for the following line: “I did but see her passing by, and yet I love her till I die.”

Anyway, Happy Valentine’s Day!
