This project (’Unscannable Books‘) was created in response to, “the destructive method of book scanning…

…advocated by Google Books”. Jasmine’s site has some great work up on it, mainly focused on typography and small-run publications. Via It’s Nice That

There is a big debate (as I’m sure many of you know) about Google’s book scanning initiative. This is both because it’s rumored that they ruin each book in the process, as well as infringe upon copyright laws. Click here to read about the scanning technology Google is allegedly using to preserve the books they’re processing. Be sure to read the comments.

Suchmaschinenriese Google hat schon wieder ein neues Favicon. Nachdem bereits Mitte 2008 Gerüchte über ein neues Logo im Web diskutiert wurden, gab es dann im Juni lediglich ein neues Google-Favicon – ein kleines silberblaues „g“, das mit dem bisherigen Markenauftritt rein gar nichts zu tun hatte. Laut Google-Statement war das neue Favicon ohnehin nur „als Zwischenschritt geplant“.

Nun überrascht Google mit einem Logo in Corporate-Farben. Im Vergleich zur vorherigen Variante gefällt mir das neue Favicon um Längen besser. Meinungen?

Nachtrag, hier gefunden:

„Back in June, we rolled out a new favicon — the small icon that greets you when you access Google on your URL bar or your bookmarks list — and we encouraged our users to submit their ideas for this important piece of Google branding. We were impressed by the volume of submissions we received, and today we are happy to introduce a new Google favicon inspired by those submissions by our users. André Resende, a computer science undergraduate student at the University of Campinas in Brazil, submitted the design that inspired our new favicon. His placement of a white ‚g‘ on a color-blocked background was highly recognizable and attractive, while seeming to capture the essence of Google.“
