If you go to the project page (http://x96webdesign.uuuq.com/xtra/google_logo) I've posted sources files (XCf, PSD).

Cheers,

Nice! I think I'll look at what you did there (I just started Photoshop today!)

[X96 Web Design]

I used the GIMP, and saved it as a PSD... I'm a cheapskate :p

On the thread you linked to, I like this one:

"Nerds Helping The World" :D

Haha! Thanks! I forgot to put that one in the post above. Editing it now. :D
Nevermind, I can't. It's limited to 5 images
My favorites are:

Those are my favourites as well - especially the last one ;)

I wonder if Google would buy any of those... :)

[Nile]

Lol, doubt it. Here's my good attempt at Google's one:

(Forgot to bevel..)
Lol, especially the last one.. (Switched around the images)

[X96 Web Design]

Pretty close to the original... Just have to make it a GIF so it gets that Indexed grain, and it'll be almost exactly the same!

Especially the last one - yep... :)

[Nile]

Yea, like I said I forgot to bevel the layer. If I combined the one at the top, and that one, and made the text a little more sharp, that would be it.

[X96 Web Design]

Here's my take of their logo. I tried to "modernize" it a bit...

Nice! I really like that one.

[Snookerman]

This isn't my own of course, but I really like the Morse code logo they have on at the moment:

Haha! That's awesome.

Here's another:

Nile-- there should be no comma in what you wrote "We know what you want", because "what" is directly connected to "know", and not a removed idea. Not trying to complain about your grammar, but there's much less chance yours will be chosen if there's an error in it.

[X96 Web Design]

Wait... This is being submitted somewhere? I thought it just was something Nile made up!

Cool!

[djr33]

Ah, my mistake. I just skimmed the early posts looking at the logos. I guess it's not-- I thought there was something (probably in that link to the other forum) for a submission. Well, enjoy...

[Nile]

Nope, just a fun contest. djr33: I noticed that after I uploaded it.

This article feels very related to this thread: How Google Got Its Colorful Logo (http://www.wired.com/techbiz/startups/multimedia/2008/02/gallery_google_logos)

I don't understand what's this?

[Schmoopy]

It's morse code, spelling out "Google".

A dash is a long beep and a dot is a short one.

If you google morse code you'll find out more about it.

I've seen some of Samuel F. B. Morse's (inventor of Morse code) original notes and research. It's extremely fascinating stuff. I actually ran across it accidentally when I was doing research in the NYU archives for my undergraduate thesis (on a completely unrelated topic).
