Look at it this way, Google's making a commercial statement with this, that they think Go is important enough for them to brand.

It's like Duke and Java -- Duke still exists as a mascot. I suspect the gopher will be around for a long time to come. If anything this is a harbinger of Go becoming more mainstream than it is already (think TIOBE top-10).

No, this all started with an email to UX/design of "I want a professionally designed slide deck for this talk I am giving" and they sent it off to an agency.

There is no way self respecting Googlers were involved in this shit show.

Somehow I think that the coffee cup is better than running letters.
