Google's Color-Changing Logo and What the Company Is About to Announce

The Google homepage is sporting a new logo that changes color as you type, and it's likely a big hint as to what the company will announce at its "can't miss" search event on Wednesday.

When you arrive on the search giant homepage today, you'll be greeted with a gray Google doodle. When you start typing a search query though, the color magically returns to Google's iconic logo. This follows yesterday's logo, a collection of animated particles that react to the movement of the cursor.

As many in the media have noted, this week's series of logos isn't just Googlers having fun; it's also a big hint for what the company will be unveiling at a press event occurring Wednesday morning in San Francisco.

If today's logo is any indication, Google is about to unveil a real-time search overhaul. This is not about adding Twitter or Facebook results to Google search though; this is about search results that change as you type, a feature Google has been testing recently. Also likely to be announced tomorrow: AJAX-powered search results.
