Google's home page sports a colorful -- but mysterious -- new interactive logo this morning.
The logo, apparently visible only to browsers in the United States and Britain, shows the word 'Google' made up colorful circles that scatter around your screen when you mouse over them. It's neat, but what is it doing there?
Usually Google's custom logos are tied to holidays or historical events in a way that is fairly obvious, and, when users are confused, clicking on the logo triggers a search explaining it. This time, however, clicking on the logo does nothing.
There is already a lot of speculation out there, for instance that this has something to do with Google's birthday. But Google denies this, and none of the other explanations we've read seem convincing.

Yeah, reminds me of the Wonder Bread logo...
I thought my mouse had BO.
It’s Google - who cares?
It’s a metaphor for them dodging legal trouble for stealing people’s personal information.
Your computers are belong to us.
Did you know that when the circles get bigger they are sucking all of your personal information out of your computer while you are distracted?
nothing happens when I move my mouse over the logo. guess I’m lucky
I thought it was strange they had the United States Flag on the home page yesterday (or day before, forget which).
Yesterday for Labor Day probably...
It’s a tribute to our new bedbug overlords.
Just kidding
On a related note, I doubled the speed of firefox by deleting the google “safe browsing” crap that they infested it with. I just went into “about:config” and deleted all values starting with “http:” My reasoning is that I know what I want to connect to on the internet and it’s not goofle.
Yeah, wow... there were more balls flying through the air than at a San Francisco bathhouse.

It's Google's take on a particle movement simulator.
I like it... but they need to make it more ‘game’ like. Playing with it and always getting ‘Google’ isn’t that exciting...
I won’t use Google - so I didn’t see it.
Sometimes a banana is just a banana, Anna.
