On this day (May 16), American physicist Theodore Harold Maiman fired the first laser beam at Hughes Research Laboratories.
According to NYT, “the first laser shone with the brilliance of a million suns. Its beam spread less in one mile than a flashlight beam spreads when directed across the room.”
Google is celebrating the first laser anniversary with this new logo on their homepage.
But were you able to recognize that this is Google logo ? I couldn’t.

Yes, bit diffcult to notice. But the starting “G” makes guessing easy.

Bit of a hard one, but I think what got it for me was the colour combination. Cool looking one though

It doesn’t exactly look like a Google logo, but I instantly recognised the “Google colours”.
