Okay, so just to explain why I started this topic and what exactly we are talking about.
First of all, just to clear up any doubts, I have no problem with the logo. Google 100% deserves to be there. The thing that I'm talking about is this. Every once in a white, I come across a discussion that starts like this: *A:* I'm interested in Go, but I'm worried that Google [created it just for its needs / has too much power over it / will throw it away just like many other projects / doesn't care about the community / whatever, blah blah Google]. *B:* Well, no! Go was started by people at Google, that's true, but it's most and foremost a project led by great engineers and a great community and is not a corporate product. Google doesn't care too much about Go and Go would survive without Google. The B guy is right! However, many people seem to take it that since Google logo is on the page, that actually, A guy is correct and Go is a corporate Google product, that will perhaps vanish any day. I wouldn't be worried about it if I didn't see the Reddit thread I linked, which contained many irrational opinions of this kind. Here are a few: > Well, in a way they're straight forward about it.

Seeing these opinions amplified by the presence of the logo is the reasons I started this thread. Not because I had anything against the logo personally. ut 16. 7. 2019 o 22:30 JuciÊ Andrade <oju...@gmail.com> napísal(a): > So a company spend millions on a tool that everybody may use freely and > when they put a simple logo in the project page the sky falls down. > > Are you serious, people?
