It seems the jury is split on whether Google Product logos are good corporate branding or just a bit too boring and predictable. I am not going to try and convince you either way nor go into any deep analysis of the designs, but I will help you take a look at a few of these logos and showcase what product they represent. All of these product logos appear in clean, simple blue lowercase type alongside the Google logo.
Google Buzz
Google Buzz is the newest social networking tool that rolled out in February. Buzz allows users to share updates, photos, videos, and more. Buzz is integrated with your Gmail inbox and connects you to all your contacts immediately. It can also recommend interesting posts and removes ones you’re likely to skip. Buzz can import your stuff from Twitter, Picasa, Flickr, and Google Reader.
When viewing the logo I was immediately reminded of the AVG Internet Security logo look.

It was interesting for me to know about the new feature provided by Google – Google Buzz! It is maybe very convenient in usage – I'd like to give it a try!
Yeah I think Gmail and Earth are definately the most recognisable for sure. The thing I like about google is it never over thinks it's logos. Clean simple and instantly recognisable
All products came after the success of Google adwords
It is impossible to mix up Google with anything else, because this machine has its unique inimitable style and trend!
It was interesting for me to know about Google Buzz – this service has no competitors in the Internet!
I appreciate the Google Buzz – it has no competitors and alternatives in the whole Internet!
That's really fresh and informative post about Google logos – i also think that Google logos can be hardly mixed up with any other brand.
Although a lot of people knock Google all the time, I sometimes wonder how different the moden internet, and movile devices would be without them?
