The Google search page is showing a 1 D barcode (Code 128 font) on the search page instead of the logo. Wonder whats the reasoning behind it... I wouldn't have been surprised to see a 2 dimensional QR code to allow a user to repeat the same search on their mobile phone but the use of a 1D font is intriguing to say the least. I wonder what could be the data encoded in the barcode.... from the looks of it .. shouldn't be more than 8-12 chars given the high density of the code 128 font.
Update:
The barcode has "Google" encoded inside it and the logo has been changed to celebrate the 57th anniversary of the first barcode patent. More...
Great in sequence! There is something wonderful about "Google flirting with Code 128 barcodes ?". I am fearful by the excellence of information on this website.
ReplyDeleteI think, The presence of barcode is important if you would like to sell the products you have produced at your manufacture.
I am sure I will visit this place another time soon, to know about code 128.
