I think Google may have ripped off one of Nintendo's greatest gaming characters special abilities and put it in logo form. Behold the incredible similarities.
And for those of you that don't recognize the ball on the left, it is from the Metroid series of games starting on the NES and most recently on the Wii. She upgrades her Morph Ball throughout the games to different abilities and colors.
It does make me wonder though, if Google is as powerful a company as it is and it's just now getting the Morph Ball upgrade, what happens when it gets the Power Suit or Varia Suit upgrades? Only time will tell.

Ha ha. Great observation.
Those do look very similar. Microsoft better watch out for Varia Suit Google.
Being a former Pokemon master, I was beginning to think the Chrome ball looked like a Pokeball. Maybe the morph ball is closer, but both are still Nintendo properties.
Looks like XBOX copied it too.

Looks way more like Simon to me, than a ball from Metroid, or from Pokemon.
