Did Google spell Google wrong? Looks like a Googe with no “L”
By Benj Arriola - Posted on Wed Feb 14, 2007Google always comes up with creative holiday logos every since the early years of Google. This Valentines day 2007, Google seemed to misspell Google as Googe. The “L” seems to be missing.
Well the strawberry and chocolate may look like a “G ” but the strawberry stem does not seem to qualify as an “L.” They seem to be too merged together.
The funny thing is, the Google brand is just so strong already, everyone recognizes it, wrong spelling or not. It was Gio Castro that first pointed this out to me, telling me if I noticed the Google logo having no “L.”
UPDATE: Right after I learned about this, from Gio, and get a 2 Diggs, this dude got Dugg 1,000+ times! And here comes Google’s official statement.

According to google’s blog at the link above it states that “those with true romance and poetry in their soul will see the subtlety immediately.”
It is believed that losing the “l” was a subtle tip of the cap to the English poet Barnabe Googe.

Right Evan, that just shows I suck in literature. *LOL* Now who is really smart now? Looks like it’s still the big brother, Big G.
