Google Helps Comic-Con Celebrate 40
Staying with the Comic-Con thoughts this week, since they are having a 40th Anniversary Celebration, I thought I would just let everyone know that Google is helping them celebrate by changing up the Google logo a little. They are also helping out the celebration by having some cool Google themes to choose from as stated on the Google Blog:
The themes showcase the amazingly diverse world of comics. Browse our gallery (www.google.com/comicsthemes) to choose from nostalgic comic strips like Peanuts, iconic heroes like Batman and Iron Man, or alternative comics greats like Dan Clowes, author of the graphic novel, "Ghost World." The dozens of themes represent talented artists from around the world including Rumiko Takahashi from Japan and Lewis Trondheim of France.
In addition to the Google themes, Google has also unveiled a new logo that has changed to reflect the cool super heroes of the comics.
Google had also this last week shown us a logo that was reflective of the moon with craters spelling out the Google name celebrating the Apollo 11 anniversary. We have a Conventions.net anniversary coming up I wonder if the folks at Google will oblige us with a logo? happy Anniversary to the people at Comic-Con.

It’s amazing how many search engine services and social media networks are targeting the comic book crowd. It’s genious, if you think about it. So many comic book fans rely on word of mouth to find out new releases or editions. MySpace now has its own comic book webpage with all sorts of services. There is a neat blog post about it here: http://www.searchschwag.com/2009/06/04/integrating-social-media-networks-into-the-comic-book-arena/. I wonder whose next to join the comic book arena.
