is the latest publication to finally discover the supposed design flaw, apparently thinking it's discovered a secret nobody had noticed. Describing the imperfect logo as an 'optical illusion' with a hidden"mistake", it says the design is"slightly off-perfect to trick your brain."What Google actually did is use the fairly common typography technique of optical balancing to make the design look right, even if mathematically it isn't.
Typographers and logo designers do this because certain lines can appear to be heavier than others even if they're not, and sometimes perfectly centred designs 'look' off when placed in situ. In the case of the Google logo, the optical refinement is made to prevent a visual 'overbite' where the circular form meets the horizontal crossbar of the G. Note that the angles between the lettering and the colours also don't line up, again intentional.
