I was just about to google something when I realised what my last design post could be about!
Google is known for adapting its logo for special occasions, and sometimes just for fun. Today the logo is a barcode, to celebrate the anniversary of the first barcode patent. Above are a few I found. I am guessing they were made for celebrating birthdays, occasions, anniversaries of Sherlock Holmes, Halloween, Dr Seuss, and Miro. To see more of their past logos visit:

As the most visited website on the internet, Google can do this. As a search engine, lets face it, it's not an exciting site. It's useful, but we don't visit it to entertain ourselves, unless we are searching for something entertaing. Google has to make things more interesting for us, surprise us, make us smile, give us a reason to visit again. Their logos, along with the fact that they are a good search engine, are that reason. Googling google logos show how many people are really quite interested in the adapted logos, a few have even made blogs dedicated to them!
We really should give Google credit for making something mundane that little bit more interesting.
