In case you hadnt noticed, Google got a facelift.
Yep, the tech giants search page received some rather fancy new icons.
Slap your peepers on this:
While before there were just words, now there are wordsandimages.
Truly, we live in exalted times.
Our fans demanded it.
We think they mightve.
The next question washowwere going to rank these symbols and after some head scratching it became clear.
We had to rank them by level of evilness.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
Strap on your devil horns and lets get into this.
…NINE…
Look at that little fella!
Its so adorable with its cute ol bookmark!
Whats possible evil about that?
Its my thorough belief that no ones ever done anything bad while in possession of a bookmark.
If you own a bookmark, wrong is something youre incapable of.
Ergo, this is the least evil search icon.
…EIGHT…
Then again, theres something positive about that arrow.
It suggests things to come, a future, and, therefore,hope.
Things might get better… in the future.
When did it all change?
Anyway, this Video search icon isnt that evil.
…SEVEN…
Nothing weird about a sun and mountains, right?
Just a normal, next door neighbor, everyday ball of flaming hydrogen and the earths sheared crust.
But… look again.
Is that a landscape?
Or is it really a one-eyed, moustachioed gentleman?
Im going to call the Images search icon almost evil.
…SIX…
On the surface, this is simple.
What could possibly be wrong with a tag?
It just expresses a discount and we all love a good deal its why Poundland exists as a concept.
What am I, some sort of amateur?
A down and dirty scumbag?
It looks like a robot and robots are dumb.
…FOUR… [CHOOSES AN AIRPLANE ANYWAY]
This lack of effort is criminal definitely evil.
…THREE…
Nah.
Notice how it includesbotha rising bar chart and a rising line graph.
Each of them makes it clear theres an upward trend, theres no need to double down.
Its a poor design and its evil and I hate it.
…ONE!
Im glad weve all learnt something today.
