At first glance, it looked like they have misspelled it. But the chocolate makes the 'G' and the green-thingy on the strawberry makes the 'L'. :)

although he's right. the top of the strawberry, the green thing, is in the shape of an l. only its very small and is not very eye catching

I still insist they did.

There's not hybrid "G/L" letter in the alphabet.

I don't care who you are, you can't go around making up letters!

Looks like a misspelling to me.  If that stem is indeed the "L", then they really need to go back to VISCOM class and step their typography game up.

It looks wrong, but it's correct spelling. The chocolate is the letter "g" and the stalk is the letter "l."

It's not missing, just hard to catch. Part of the Strawberry stem and the chocolate makes an "L" if you look closely.

The stem is not an L. If it is, whoever made the logo needs to be fired, since it blends in way too much with the G.

I'm more concerned with the sexual undertones of the whole logo, especially when you take the ending -ooge and then notice the chocolate splattered over the side of the O. If it were white chocolate the whole thing would be absolutely disgusting.

It was originally meant to be googol, which is 1*10^100 (1 followed by 100 zeroes) but the person who actually set up the engine wasnt a mathematican so they spelt it google
