Do the colors of the "Google" logo have any meaning?

Google changed the logo of its browser, “Chrome” in recent days, for the first time since 2014, and although the logo may not look different from what preceded it, which prompted some social media pioneers to laugh at the change, it already includes Minor changes, according to a report by The Sun.

Since the creation of the first Google logo in 1997, the design has been imprinted in the minds of users, making the company unique in the technology industry.

When Sergey Brin and Larry Page first launched the search engine in 1995, it was initially called Backrub.

Two years later, BackWrap turned to Google, the company that revolutionized the internet.

Since rebranding in 1997, the tech giant has gone through seven variations of its logo.

Although the font has changed, all logos maintain a fairly similar color palette.

Many wonder about the semantics of the colors used in the logo, but they are actually just a set of basic colors that the logo designer used to highlight that "Google does not follow the rules."

Here is a series of the most prominent changes that the Google logo has undergone since the company's founding:

First Logo (1998)

The first "official" version of the Google logo was created by Larry Page using a free graphics program called GIMP (GIMP).

The design featured a mixed color concept that carried over to future designs, however, the color order was completely different from the current logo.

In the page's logo, which uses the Baskerville Bold font, the initial "G" is green.

At one point, the logo also featured an exclamation point similar to the "Yahoo!" (Yahoo!), which at the time was one of the most successful websites.

The main logo (1999 to 2015)

Google changed its logo again in 1999, and this version has become the most popular to date.

Professional graphic designer Ruth Kadar created the most iconic Google logo in 1999, which the company continued to adopt until 2015.

Kadar used the Catull font (with a slightly dropped shadow) and changed the letter "G" to blue instead of green, and the exclamation mark was omitted.

When asked about the color options, Kadar said, "There were a lot of different color iterations. We ended up with the primary colors, but instead of arranging them, we put a secondary color on the letter L to bring back the idea that Google doesn't follow the rules."

Later versions of the logo remained quite similar to Cadar's initial design, incorporating slight font differences. In one version, the shading was removed from the letters.

It is noteworthy that the goal of founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page was to build a search engine for an extremely large collection of information. The name Google comes from a common misspelling of the mathematical word googol, which refers to the very large number 10 to the power of 100 (the number 1 followed by 100 zeros).

Moreover, the headquarters of Google, which is now known as "Googleplex", is named after the number "googolplex".
