I always like when Google has a different logo! I never saw this one and didn't try to figure it out, but I'll be on the look out next time.

maybe it IS the unexplained phenomenon and they're getting us to think and try and explain it but we simply can't

let me spin another angle on this. gamers know (I wish I didn't stop playing games) another set of meme these are: fail, win, owned, and pwnt.

what if the phrase used by google recently (meme itself) had another meme in it? OWNED. all your O are belong to us = all your o are owned by us. according to the definition of this meme, OWNED means FAIL if someone does it to you, i.e. you're screwed. now what is O? there can be many meanings, but going back to basics O means a round hole :)

so the phrase now reads, we screwed you in all your holes = we screwed you big time = you're so screwed = we screwed you hard = ... well you get the idea :) but, google is not evil right? can this be a new google-moto? let's see, they used folksonomy, crowdware and other forms of social collaboration on the net as a free labour and then sold it for big profits.

you are owned :)

They split the word google into 2 parts, go and g/ogle. I wouln´t be surprised if the alien ship part of the logo represents, something being beamed. Also alien ships fly around in the sky, among the clouds. The O might represent objects (like apps) or Operating systems (All your O´s belong to us). So they´re saying 2 things, to you they are saying:
"Go wireless, into the cloud, with google"
and to the rest of the computer industry they are saying:
"Your operating systems belong to us"

My guess is they´re browser based OS will be called Gogle.

Google has imagination. It is all about image. And getting noticed. I like it. Great story.

Maybe there's a digitally remasterd box set of all of Roy Orbison's albums nearing completion?

And hey, I've got a good idea, maybe Google bought the music rights?

UH, it is a Final Fantasy meme in which a translation error occurred from the US and Japanese versions in which the english translated version said 'All your base belong to us'.

The 'O' is gone, so the name no longer makes sense and we as humans translate it as weird, thus the weird translation relation to Final Fantasy....

I hope I can get this out before the alien implants take control again.

It's Google's reminder that resistance is futile. You will be ass-imilated!

I am forced to disagree - this is not merely a simple "doodle". This is clearly part of the world-wide Freemason/Illuminati conspiracy.

simple: google makes money every time you search for something...putting a link to a search makes this process much easier...and with something that would fuck with the minds of billions of internet users...in this economy..everything goes.

As someone who knows… I can verify that the Google logo is not related to the o campaign or Chung. the website unexplainedphenomenon.org is a fake site created after the buzz was generated. Look elsewhere.

its probably related to the birth anniversary of h.g.wells(its on 21 september, (of war of the worlds fame, to remind you )). Google's korea blog says that it is making these logos as a part of a three part series(the next appears on 15 september and the final one will probably appear on 21)

I'm guessing it was prompted by the recent statement of the new Japanese first lady. Apparently, she has been abducted by aliens. http://www.independent.co.u...

I agree with this as the most likely contender. Not sure how it ties in, but it seems like good timing for viral excitement about Google in the build-up to Wave.
