Google´s Crop circle & Alien abduction logos

by Marcus Westberg on September 17, 2009

in General

The Internet giant Google continues to fascinate the world in a way that only they can. Google sometimes replace their original logo from time to time with another variation of it. For holiday logos etc: See examples here.

Recently Google have used 2 logos that look a bit different. Google updated their Twitter profile Sept 4´th with a cryptic tweet: 1.12.12 25.15.21.18 15 1.18.5 2.5.12.15.14.7 20.15 21.19. They linked that tweet to a twitpic page displaying the logo with the UFO abducting the O (Image below). If you replace that cryptic code with letters (a=1, b=2 etc) you will find that the message is all your o are belong to us“. This will of course make you think about “all your base are belong to us” which was a hype like 9 years ago or so. In short: The phrase is a line of subtitled dialogue from the introduction to the video game Zero Wing. It is actually still funny even though it´s really old.

in My Projects

I have a new project going on together with my mother.
It is a project called Marie Mandrifolie. It has to do with russian history and is related to what happened to the last family of the russian Czar. If you know the subject then you could guess that the key person is Maria Nikolaevna.

It is way to early to tell what it is all about but if you are interested in the subject please subscribe to the newsletter found at the project site.

Link to the site: The Marie Mandrifolie Project.
