We have witnessed Google’s iconic 4 colored logos in its across-the-line services for years. But the color turning grey has left the Netizens stunned and their inquisitiveness has prompted them to fire questioning why Google has turned grey.
To settle the cause behind this development we thought to present you with the why this did happen and has it happened before?
Well, it is a mark of tribute to Queen Elizabeth II after the death of Britain’s longest-reigning monarch. The tragic death of the Queen of the Britain and commonwealth has invited mourning from all over the world. Google chose a subtle manner to pay tribute the Elizabeth II.
While you can’t touch the grey logo as it happens in other Doodles to know the reason behind it, however, the logo on the top left corner that appears during the search results list reads ‘Queen Elizabeth 1926 - 1922’ when the cursor hovers over it.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai offered his share of condolences to the people of the UK and other parts of the world. In the tweet, he wrote, “Sending our deepest condolences to the people of the UK and around the world mourning the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. Her steadfast leadership and public service have been a constant through many of our lifetimes. She will be missed.”
It is not that Google has done this for the first time, Google in past as well has modified the versions of its logo several times with its Doodle team. Leaders around the world united to pay homage to Britain’s longest-reigning monarch.
Buckingham Palace earlier announced that the funeral of the Queen will take place at Westminster Abbey on Monday, September 19th, the place where she was married to Prince Phillip.
