Kind of sobering to realize that in 1996 I was building duplo doll houses with my daughter while Larry and Sergey and were building a duplo server housing that grew into a $190 billion company.

I had always heard that the Google logo's color scheme was derived from the duplo colors. Seems to be the case.

So that's where the "blue, red, orange, and green" logo colors come from!

I used to walk by that lego storage array in the Stanford CS building every day when I was an undergrad. I personally found it inspirational.

Me too! However, a few weeks ago I dropped in at gates and it appears they moved it to huang.

Now I can figure where the colors of Google's logo came from.
