How Google's subtle logo change can keep you from getting scammed

But I did memorize the change. Why? Because that info makes scam emails and phishing links easier to spot. 

Lazier or sloppier fraudsters sometimes use older logos (or even badly approximated logos) in their campaigns. If you know what a company's most current branding looks like, you can quickly avoid these lower-effort scam attempts.

This particular overhaul on Google's part is notable too, as subtle as it is. After almost a decade of the four distinct color blocks in the "G," Google's designers switched to gradients between the red, yellow, green, and blue. (Somewhere print designers are weeping, but the web doesn't care.)
