Don’t you think Google’s Valentine’s logo reads “Googe”?
Maybe the stem of the strawberry is meant to be the “l” ? Or, in a tragic case of events, Google has forgotten the big “L” for “Love” on Valentine’s Day.
We are not the only one’s who noticed – TechCrunch

Funny indeed. Strange how I didn’t notice. I guess when a company has such an established brand very few people pick up any changes/errors, intended or otherwise.
Maybe they tried some fancy merge between Valentine’s day and some dead poet!?

Or maybe the strawberry’s stem represents the L? Thats how I figured it.

The Official Google Blog responded to the worldwide outcry with this post:

They don’t answer the question outright, but they do seem to be going with the “stem is an L” theory.

It’s probably not the first time they’ve done it… They’ve probably done it, oh, I don’t know, Se7en times…

if you look closely at the chocolate on the strawberry you’ll see it’s in the shape of a heart!
