…from the Google home page. (I always get there from the search bar in my browser.)
So yesterday, I visited there for some forgotten reason and saw this unusual version of their logo. I couldn’t figure it out.
Any ideas? (Update: See comments for the answer… thanks, John!)

I love the way google does clever little things like that.
I always ‘google’ – it is my homepage.
