1. that's wild
I don't see anything in that logo that could remotely resemble an "L," either. However did they miss that?

Or is it something we are missing?

This is an oddity with Google. Most corporations will not play around with their logo. Google is different.

3. Something we are missing? Wait... No "L!"
No, that's the wrong holiday. Valentine's Day is certainly not Noel. 8^)

4. The "L" is the strawberry stem and the bit of chocolate on the right
Poorly done, but once you see it, you see it :)

5. I don't see it. It's not there. It says "Googe", which rhymes with Sp**ge.
There is no l.

11. and if you look at the original logo...
the "l" is green.



It was just a poorly designed logo.

13. You are more observant than I am. I saw that earlier and didn't
notice the missing "l". I wonder how long it will take them to fix it. Or maybe the stem of the strawberry is supposed to represent the missing letter, although that would be a stretch.
