Posted on August 13, 2008 by Suree   Print This Post Print This Post

Beijing Olympics 2008 came to its 6th day so is the Google Olympic Logo saga.Today’s (14/08/08) Logo is based on the famous sport Basketball. The dragon,rat in the logo symbolizes the various Zodiac signs in chinese astrology. I am very glad that so many of you gave comments on my previous posts which  were so informative.Regarding a Chinese character or so, i haven’t made any progress but some of u guys mentioned some replies in previous posts, i am furnishing that here

GP said: That chinese symbol would typically be the artist’s signature. Not sure if that applies here though.

wanghao said:I got the symbol in characters. It’s “??”, which means “Mr. Google” or something.
“?” means “aged”. It’s here used together with the first name as a nickname for familiar or respect. “?” is just the first name of “google” in Chinese “??” . So, it’s it.

Darcy Said:That little red square thing in the Google logos is not ONE Chinese character or letter. It is a stamp made up of several Chinese characters that is traditionally used to sign the artist’s name to a painting or other artwork. They are specially designed and carved for each person, who uses them in modern society to sign contracts or other formal documents with (in addition to art, if you are an artist).

With all the above comments i am believing it may be a signature of the artist.Throw ur views below guys.

One more thing to mention… Google chained the logo of orku too, included draagon over there also.Here is the logo
