Google Braille Logo: Jonathan Munk
If you’re a Googler, then you’ve probably already seen this Braille Logo that Google put up today commemorating the birthday of Louis Braille, inventor of the visually impaired reading system.
This logo is probably the biggest chance the search engine giant has taken with one of its logos, since the logo is completely illegible, even to a blind person (how can you braille-read an image on a computer screen??). Not many companies have the luxury of changing their logo whenever they please, have millions of people exposed to it, and then change it back again the next day. Of course, normally when Google shakes up their logo, they keep their font and colors so it’s easy to decipher, but in this case only the colors and 3D shading are the same.
You can even click on the logo to learn all about Louis Braille, born 197 years ago today.
