Google brings us Pacman!

google-pacmanGoogle are known for doing things a little bit different. They’re also known for celebrating special occasions by changing their logo.

Today is no exception, but what happens when you combine the “different” and the logo change?

Pacman’s 30th birthday, celebrated by a playable version of the game, mapped out around the word “Google”. Original sounds, original quirks - it had me mesmerised for quite some time! Who would take bets on today’s global productivity levels going down the spout? :o)

Ask Jeeves is “back to help”

If you’ve visited uk.ask.com this week you may have noticed the reintroduction of an old friend - yes that’s right, it’s Jeeves! Ask removed Jeeves from their brand in 2006, and after several rebrands since the UK version of the search engine has a face again!

Their question of the day is “Why am I back?” - apparently “back to help“!
