Both the logo, and the story that you linked to, thrilled me to bits. Thanks a ton!
There is a reason Google is as well-regarded as it is. So simple, therefore effective.
Nice to see a blog bout this.And I did look up the braille alphabets and spotted all the characters but could not understand why there is a dot at the beginning.Any insights?
i thought it is ‘google’ in braille.
Yes it is, but there is a dot preceding the 4-square pattern that represents the G of google and that was what I was referring to.
Shruthi, you are welcome 🙂 I loved it the moment I saw it on google…
Adity, yup, simple and effective…
gupta, Arun, sorry, I have no clue… gupta, I have not seen braille alphabets – where did you look them up?
Maybe the dot at the start means capital ‘G’. Just a guess…
This is where I found those alphabets.

Mangesh’s guess is on the dot (he he).It does represent a capital G!!
great, now we have it all sorted out :))
and gupta, thanks for the link. checking it out….
