Google Logo Meets Hooters

Google Logo :)

People are always interested in the Google logo, especially as they often change it. But anyone searching now for google logo might get a surprise, as noted by Ari. Out of all the relevant images Google could have shown in the top three, Google picked this one as the second most relevant image result for a search on [google logo].


To be fair, Live Search shows that same image for an image search in position number five for me. Yahoo doesn’t seem to show that Google logo in their search results.

At the Search Engine Roundtable this morning, I reported that Google recently loosened up their image search filter. Maybe this had something to do with this Google Hooter Logo image showing up in the second position?

I am sure the image will be removed soon, but we couldn’t let this one slide – so we documented it here for all to see.
