Google’s new logo is a barcode, Why?

As today is the 57th anniversary of the first patent on the bar code. Inventors Norman Woodland and Bernard Silver filed the patent on October 1949, and it was granted, No. 2,612,994 (pdf), on October 7, 1952. The original patent was for a system that would encode data in circles (a bulls eye pattern), so that it could be scanned in any direction.

Google regularly changes its logo for holidays and other special events. More recently they celebrated Gandhi’s birthday. Google hosts some of their holiday logos here, and fan created logos here.
