THANKS for this colorful display...and HAPPY HOLIDAYS to you, Jeff...you bring so much energy to our AR Network..thanks!

Jeff, I saw it early this morning, LOL I was waiting for your post. Have a great day.

Leave it up to google to catch everyone's eye. At first, I did not notice the changes, and today I definitely did.

great that you pointed it out.  I noticed that they kept playing with their logo but not that is was a series.  I wonder how we could do that in our own way to keep with that theme?

Merry Christmas Jeff and you have a great day.

Merry Christmas, Jeff. Thanks for the info - lots more to look into.

Jeff         

JANEANNE..... thank you very much for those polite compliments.  Happy Holidays to you too...

MISSY...... I was waiting also...  ;o)    But it's all done and I am now done with AR until tomorrow.... have a great day yourself.

DANNY.....  I think they did a good job and I think we need to think about this and possibly use this for those that have web sites....  it could be a good way to get people to keep coming back.

CHRISTINA...... I think if you get creative, there could be several ways to use this idea to your benefit. My pleasure....

JAY..... Merry Christmas to you too.. and to Monika...

JEFF D. .....  my pleasure...and yes, lots more to look into.   Merry Christmas.... 

May the miracle of Christmas fill your heart with warmth and love.  Happy Holidays to you and yours!  Yes we noticed the photo changes through google too!  Keep smiling Jeff...once again enjoy your holidays.

Yet another cool thing from Google.  No wonder they are so successful.

Jeff, what a wonderful post. I love all of this stuff, and have bookmarked your blog post to make sure I remember where it is. Have a wonderful holiday.

I watch their logo and never put it together that it was a series and it is way cool.  Thank you so much in the future I will know that there is a method their madness (with their logos).

I almost stayed up late last night to see when it would change.  Thanks for pointing out the work in progress over the last few days.

Enjoy the new year of 2008.

Jeff,

Kinda like watching paint dry!!! LOL Merry Christmas,   Fran   GO OGLE!!!

I'm in Google overload!

Merry Christmas Jeff. I like Google's Holiday logo...very pretty :)

Jeff - Great job and lots to think about = Hope you had a Merry Christmas and enjoyed the time off. Here's to 2008 

Great lay-out on this post Jeff.  I've also bookmarked this as well.  We can learn a lot from a Google:-)  Merry Christmas amigo!!!

I liked last years April fools joke the best. 

Very interesting.. I'm an advid Google user. Thanks for post

Happy holidays to you.  Google is king and all should know that by now.

MIDORI..... thanks for those kind thoughts and words.  Happy Holidays to you too...

RANDY....  I agree and I enjoyed this one. I need to go back to see what they did for Christmas last year.

TERI....  thank you very much. I hope you are able to get a few things out of it as I did.  Happy Holidays.

MIRIAM..... I think it's a great method to their madness and so much that we can learn from it.  thanks

JEFF L. ....  April fools joke?  from Google?  I don't think I saw that one....  I didn't think about it at the time. Now I will have to wait until next year. thanks

CHRISTINA..... thank you and my pleasure. happy Holidays.

JAMES..... I agree and I think some are just realizing this and can learn a thing a too. I know I can....  Happy Holidays to you also. 

very cute  - thanks for compiling these:)

thanks for putting this together helps make a person think outside the box with our own marketing.

Jeff, WOW.. You have a lot of time on your hands I guess..lol Just kidding.. the worst part is this became a feature.  

Hi Jeff - google and clever go hand in hand on this one!  Thanks for putting them all together.  I had picked up on a couple of them, but not the whole picture.

Thanks for the links to their tools.  I had seen someone else do a post not all that long ago with these links in it, and meant to bookmark that one but forgot.  Now I have yours to reference for all these cool things.  Laurie Manny did a post that I had in the Week in Review this past week on Sketchup - really cool tool there!

Happy New Year!
Ann

COURTNEY......  my pleasure. I hope you can get something out of these.

CLARK..... that's exactly right, thinking outside the box. So many of us fail to do this... or, think about it, but not follow through. We are moving into the internet era and you need to be ahead of the average person.

MATTHEW.....  not that much time....lol   but the worst part that this was featured?  You lost me there... lol But there are a few good messages here.

On another note, did you see the snowball post from a few days ago?

ANN..... I agree, that they have become very cleaver. In regards to links to their tools, that might have been me. I did the same links to these tools in this post : Google & Marketing.... It's Halloween   Was this the same one that you were talking about?

And I'll check out Laurie Manny's post....  thanks and Happy New Year to you too.....

There's always anticipation about what the next Google wonder will be.  I enjoyed your post--took some time to put this one together.

Good Morning Mr. Belonger.  Thanks for the post.  I too love Google and try to utilize it as much as I can, but even I didn't know about SketchUp.  I'm anxious to check it out.

I guess I will have to save them for next year...I saw them a few days ago.

Wow, are you on Google's payroll? (LOL)  Thanks for sharing these tools and logos.

That is so cute!  I don't know how I missed seeing this at all through the progression.

DIANE.... yes, there is anticipation, at least on my part. Thanks for the comments and for stopping by.

BRETT..... yes, I'll have to check Sketchup out. What them Cards? Just imagine if they had some of their best players for 3 weeks....  would they still be in the top 5?

NEAL.....  save what? You lost me there...  thanks for stopping by.

DAN.....   ha ha ha... if I was, you would see tons of posts. Besides, my brother-in-law keeps telling me that I am taking food away from my nieces and nephews because he works for Microsoft... lol

JOSETTE......  well, maybe you were just busy for the holidays... ;o)  But if you notice, I have been tracking almost every holiday this year, because I am intrigued by all of this. 

great article, and google once again paves the way on internet branding.

The Google folks are very creative and also very wealthy! They keep us going back for more..

Google Earth is among my favorites. I just fly to anywhere when I need a break. Nice job on this post and Merry Christmas to you Jeff!

i was wondering why google kept changing their logo.  and now i know.

SEAN.... thank you and I agree. Now, what can we learn from it though?  Possibly to help our business?

AL..... well, wealthy might be one thing, but that shouldn't keep you or I from being creative on our own. How about learning from them? Get our clients and new consumers to keep coming back for more.  Just food for thought.

JENNIFER.....  have you Googled Haddonfield, NJ for a break?  ;o)   Thanks for the compliment and for the holiday wishes. Same to you... 

JOSHUA.....  yes, now you know.  ;o)  Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks for the great shots of the logos as well as such detailed information as to the various things google has to offer us! This is definately a post that I will continually refer back to for information that I can use google for as well as business building tools! Happy Holidays!

Hey, thanks for putting them all together. I missed the progression and only saw 1,3,5. Pretty cool!

I am looking forward to reading your other posts as well.  Thanks for the information.

Hi Jeff - that's THE one!  I opened it up, and there it was, BOOKMARKED!  We need a way to organize our bookmarked post - if I'd had that, I would have known it was you that I had bookmarked before.  Cool stuff, and thanks again for putting these types of posts together to share with us.

Here's to a terrific 2008 for all of us!
Ann

 Very nice follow up on your original post Jeff. I hope you had a great Christmas.

Beautiful post. Thanks for all the Google information. They need all the publicity they can get! lol

JOSH.... my pleasure. I hope it helps some in the near future.

JENNIFER.... yes, I think it was pretty cool and a few lessons to learn from this in regards to marketing and branding.

HEATHER..... I hope the other posts help. Thanks for stopping by and thanks for the comment.

ANN..... lol    I had a feeling that it was. n regards to your suggestion, I think it's a great one. I am going to forward that one on. I always said that they needed to change up the book mark section. Have you noticed, when you bookmark a blog, when it gets a comment on it, it goes to the top of your bookmarks. It's hard to keep track of them then. 

In any case, thanks for the compliments and for the feedback. To a great 2008 to you also.  thanks 

MARTI.... thank you very much sir... and I hope you had a great Christmas also.... 

WAYNE....  thanks for the polite words. My pleasure and I hope it helps some.

lol, I saw the first google logo and wondered what it was all about.  Now I realize that I missed the best parts, I never saw the next 3.

Great post.  I'll have to bookmark this one and come back to it.  Noone beats google when it comes to Marketing!!

Great post Happy Holidays to you!

Anne

Thanks for the tips.I will bookmark this and use it later.hapy New year.

If there's anyone worth following around in the marketing world, it's probably the big G. Thanks for all the resources.

Google has been doing this every year for over 7 years. They also change the logo on other holidays as well and do other series of logo drawings. 

People can learn a lot just from google's own marketing program!    Not just use their services and such, but also watch, learn, and implement what the best do....it can be as simple as this 5 day logo transformation.  It keeps people coming back and creates word of mouth advertising "hey did you see google's logo?"

CHRISTINA......  well, good thing that you stopped by then.  Hope you enjoyed them.

TRACY.....  I haven't found too many that would beat Google when it comes to marketing...

ANNE..... thank you and thanks for stopping by. Happy Holidays to you too...

GITA......  my pleasure. I think there are many good links here. Enjoy.

RYAN..... I agree, hence why I keep doing these blogs on Google. I think there is so much to learn from them. Thanks for stopping by.

JULIE...... well, to be honest, I really never paid attention or really used Google until about 1 1/2 years ago. They offer so much and the marketing is fun to watch.  thanks

DAVID.....  I totally agree that so many can not only use their different services, but learn from their different marketing strategies.  We also both agree, that change will keep people coming back, as it did for me.  Thanks for your input.

Wishing You HAPPY HOLIDAYS and Best Wishes for A GREAT YEAR 2008.
