GOOGLE BLACKS OUT: ‘Censored’ logo goes dark to oppose SOPA/PIPA legislation

(Washingtonpost) - Google regularly makes creative use of its homepage art that it has patented as “Doodles.” Wednesday’s logo, however, is the Internet company’s most powerful visual statement ever.
Where the brightly colored letters spelling “Google” normally appear, today the iconic logo is almost entirely blocked out and blacked out to protest proposed congressional legislation involving Internet regulation.
Click on the black “redacted” logo and the directive “Tell Congress: Please don’t censor the Web” appears in the search bar. Click on the logo and Google takes you to a signable petition beneath the slogan, “End piracy, not liberty.”
