Google Or Googe?

Google

That looks like Googe to me, not Google. :)
This was the image displayed on Google’s home page on the occasion of Valentine’s day.
Seems like the strawberry stalk was intended to look like an “l” (?)

I notice that also, seem like they made a typo.

Moneymonk: yeah possible…but they must have certainly realized it…but since they didn’t change it, may be they intended it to that way or something. I will google it out and see if other people have commented on this.

Techcrunch went over it on Valentines day. Don’t remember what the consensus was.

Yan, thanks for mentioning that. I went over to Techcrunch and read the discussion..some of it is just hilarious :). For example:

Mike, try pronouncing Google right after you’ve stuffed your mouth with a chocolate covered strawberry. I am pretty sure what you say will come out sounding like GOOGE.

Someone way lower in the comments eventually mentioned this link on Google blog ..that sort of puts a closure to the issue.
