A Googol of Google

July 16th, 2008

We’ve been posting a googol of Google lately… but they really are taking over the world!

Take a gander at this coffee cup - pretty handy, huh? I’ve seen these same cups branded with other logos, though… namely, Apple.

This Google bag looks useful. I think the logo should be larger, though. And why black? Either way, I’d be happy to get my hands on one of these!

Just when you’ve had enough… more Google stuff!

Google branded tents - who would’ve thought? For their Google Campfire One developers conference, I guess it’s appropriate!

Google Galore!

July 14th, 2008

Google, being the Colossus that it is, always has a plethora of schwag floating around - and not just pens or t-shirts, either!

Here’s a Google traffic cone… I guess for someone who’s learning how to drive, or someone who wants a quirky, dunce-like hat?

These Google bean bag chairs are colorful and fun… and comfy, I’m sure! Good use of branding with the play on the colors from the logo!

What a sweet promotion! Google recently did a higher-end promotion by placing its logo on boxes of promotional chocolate. The cool part is that the lid which bears the logo, looks like its edible - white chocolate even! I don’t know if this was a legitimate promotion, but it’s certainly an interesting concept. Not too practical to be kept outside in the summer heat, though. Now, if only they could brand ice cream and have it stay…

Yahoo! appealed to the sweet tooth with their recent promotion for their Open Development Platform named Searchmonkey. These are actually Mrs. Smith promotional cookies which are completely customizable and can be printed on in full color. This gives new meaning to the old adage, “you’ll get farther with sugar than with…” well, you know the rest.

Google Lego Logo

July 8th, 2008

It’s pretty well-accepted that Google has a lot of fans out there. Think about the traffic they receive on a daily basis!

One Google enthusiast decided to create his rendition of the logo with legos. He even documented the entire process with photos! Definitely a cool way to show your appreciation for a brand. Part of me wonders where it will go… but from what he’s written it seems like he’ll hang it on a wall in his house. Now that’s brand loyalty!giant-lego-google-logo2.jpg

I came across these really fun Yahoo promos and thought I’d share them.

This one is actually a candle in the shape of a bomb. Interesting, right? Hopefully it’s not symbolic of the future of Yahoo!

This is kind of cool. A large and miniature version of the same chair. For you and a bean bag animal.
