Yeah thats what it was.

I remember that it contracted and expanded, so I thought it was a hoberman.

On the topic of the logo, Google told SearchEngineLand that:

... the logo "is not related to Google's birthday but is fast, fun and interactive, just the way we think search should be." That may imply that something "fast, fun and interactive" will be announced at tomorrow's big search event at Google. I suspect until then, we really won't know the true meaning of this logo.
hrmmmmm

Well, the Google main page certainly has changed! It now shifts to results as soon as you start typing, with the resulting becoming refined and updated in real time as you type.

On the down side, it seems to now be very memory and CPU intensive. My poor little 1.2 Ghz Core Solo laptop is straining a bit.

You can, of course, turn it off in search preferences, which I've done (it's neat but takes too much processing for a mere search).
