Google Is Crazy About The World Cup
We’ve seen Google change its logo for big events before, but this time it chose to do something different.
If you search for “World Cup" in Google, you’ll get a list of the upcoming World Cup games, but if you scroll to the bottom, you’ll see that the other Google logo, stationed above the result page numbers, has changed to Goooooooal!
Google has also added an awesome little easter egg to the service when one surfs through maps of South Africa: a vuvuzela clutched in peg man’s hot little hands!
Google owned YouTube has also decided to grace us with a dedicated vuvuzela button.
The football-shaped button sits in the lower right corner, and does precisely what you feared: It produces the dreadful vuvuzela sound!
