The original google font was created in 1998 The font used was bakersfeild bold. It was held from September to October. The second logo added the "!" in November 1998 and lasted to May 1999. On May 31st, they took out the "!", added "tm", gave the text a shadow, and made it thiner. It kept the same 3D effect. This change stayed all the way until May 5th, 2010. On May 6th, they removed both the trademark and shadow, though keeping all previous added things. This changed on September 18th, 2013. They only made a minor change to the current logo, removing most of the 3d effect, and rounding out the shapes.
But what about that green "l"? That's where the real story lies.
