Google is Crazy About the World Cup, Too


In three days, soccer (or football, depending on where you live) World Cup starts, and fans all over the world get into a collective craze that’s hard to compare to any other sporting event.

Now, we’ve seen Google change its logo for events such as this, but this time it chose to do something different.
If you search for “World Cup” in Google, you’ll get a list of the upcoming World Cup games, but if you scroll to the bottom, you’ll see that the other Google logo, stationed above the result page numbers, has changed to Goooooooal!


With Google recently giving users the option to create custom homepages, and all the logo changes, one has to wonder whether Google will lose its visual identity; or has Google become so big that it’s synonymous with the concept of search, and thus the visuals don’t play that big a part anymore?
