GOOGLE

It is Misspelling of the word "googol" which means 10 raise to power 100 (10^100).

It uses the same colors as the windows logo.

There are two blue letters, two red letters & one yellow & one green. No love for orange or purple.

The font uses, "Catull" was invented in 1982 and looks kind of Gothic.

It's different from most corporate word logos in that they tend to stay away from serifed type feces, embossing & drop-shadowing.
