Google had an unusual logo on their homepage yesterday.
Typically, their logo changes are associated with a self-explanatory day or event, but today was a bit of a mystery.
Clicking on today’s logo brought you to a search for “Unexplained phenomenon.”
Google also twittered the following code:
1.12.12 25.15.21.18 15 1.18.5 2.5.12.15.14.7 20.15 21.19
Subbing in letters A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, etc. the code translates to:
“All you O belong to us,” a clear reference to the Internet meme, “All of your base are belong to us.”
Is that it? Is that the whole reason for the logo change?
Who knows, but one other theory is that yesterday was the anniversary of the debut episode of Star Trek. Makes sense to me.
I think its a great marketing test. They probably wanted to see how much hype and buzz can they do with that simple action.

I’d b e surprised if it were Star Trek related. It’s more alien like than Enterprise like.
In retrospect, I agree with you guys. This screams “social experiment.”
