Happy 125th Walter Gropius...


...Google loves you.

This morning I was on Google and noticed this in place of their traditional logo:

If you frequently go to Google you've probably noticed that they redesign their logo for different holidays through out the year. Well apparently today would have been the German Architect, Walter Gropius, 125th birthday and in tribute they made the logo into what I suppose is meant to resemble buildings. As well as being an Architect Walter started Bauhaus, a design school in the early 1900s that was a large contributor to modern design. The school focused on many different things including graphic design and typography and I am sure that if Walter was alive today he would send the poorly designed Google back to school for a redesign.
