Thanks to Jon over at the Wizard Is Hungry blog, the mystery behind the Google Valentine logo is now solved.
The logo is a reference to Debbie Googe from the band My Bloody Valentine.
According to the official Google blog:
When you look at the logo, you may worry that we forgot our name overnight, skipped a letter, or have decided that “Googe” has a better ring to it. None of the above. I just know that those with true romance and poetry in their soul will see the subtlety immediately. And if you’re feeling grouchy today, may I suggest eating a strawberry.
Now when I did my post last night at 10:23 PM and also this morning at 7:21 AM, the Google blog had not been updated with the hints to the mystery behind the logo.
Thanks Jon for the heads up.
