Valentine's Day logotype massacre

What? You haven't heard? The marketing and design worlds are abuzz with rampant theories about the Google Valentine's Day treatment, this year. I, for one, ove the Googe Vaentine's ogotype.

(UPDATE: Dennis Hwang, the Google Doodler (the guy responsible for all the celebratory logotype tweaks), tells us we're seeing things. Or not seeing things that are there. Or something. I say it's Sunkist all over again.)

Not to be outdone, Yahoo! gets into the mix with an animated treatment.

And of course, Microsoft melts my heart with this incredibly romantic iteration.

Hugs and kisses to Techcrunch, Boredworkers, and Ethan Neuenswander for giving me the greatest love of all: something about which to complain.

Rick Turoczy is hypocritical.

Sometimes I write hypocritical, a blog on marketing. Its purpose, beyond feeding my pure unadulterated hubris, is to provide yet another forum for yet another a) frustrated writer, b) misunderstood genius, c) marketing slob to critique concepts, capture thoughts, pose questions, and share ideas, in hopes of gaining a better understanding of the art of communication. While it is doubtful I will uncover anything new, perhaps I will provoke thought or provide the right sugarcoating to make an idea digestible or inspire you, gentle reader, to comment, critique, and return.

But if you're the type who needs cold hard facts or needs me to prove my chops even though you've clearly managed to read your way down this far, then here's more than you want to know about me, via LinkedIn.

If you find any of this self-serving thrashing valuable, please by all means, subscribe to my RSS feed by clicking here or registering via email below. And on random occasions, you will be the proud recipient of some piping hot copy from yours truly.
