Prototypes for the logo by Ruth Kedar...
"We ended up with the primary colors, but instead of having the pattern go in order, we put a secondary color on the L, which brought back the idea that Google doesn't follow the rules." says Ruth Kedar, the designer of the modern Google logo.
In 2010, Google updated their logo once again with shadowless lettering. It was designed by Ruth Kedar with the Catull typeface
