The Secret of Google’s Valentine’s ‘Googe’ Logo
A bunch of bloggers have been commenting today on the ‘misspelling’ in Google’s Valentine’s day logo this morning, which seems to say ‘Googe’ rather than ‘Google’.
The Puget News decided to do a quick bit of research into ‘Googe’ to determine whether this was a mistake or not, and they discovered the following:
- ‘Googe’ may refer to the 16th century poet Barnabe Goorge who is mostly famous for the line, ‘I did but see her passing by, and yet I love her till I die’ which is obviously in the romantic, Valentine’s spirit
- ‘Googe’ could be a reference to bassist Debbie Googe of My Bloody Valentine, an Irish-British rock band from the early 1990’s.
- Lastly, it could be referring to the word ‘Googe’ as used in the Urban Dictionary. Warning: possibly NSFW, and just nasty anways…
So, hopefully that sheds some light onto the mystery. Once again, hat tip to The Puget News!
I’m sure that they we’re thinking in Googe of My Bloody Valentine.
lol - perhaps that one was a touch far-fetched… But it is somewhat possible…
It was never Googe, the letter L was there!
Cheers
