Sayonara Google Glass

So Google have decided to stop selling their Glass product, not surprising really considering it was a really shit design that no-one wanted to be seen dead in (probably more so than being treated like a leper by anyone who saw them wearing them because of privacy worries), Google may be great at selling ads and big computer science stuff but their design sense sucks big time, I mean look at this:


Google's driverless car concept, it looks like something from fucking Trumpton for Christ's sake! The only people I could see using that would be, well… actually no-one, I simply cannot think of anyone, sane or not.

Now the Google logo, that's good, very simple yet striking and carries Google's brand perfectly… note that it was not designed by any Google's employees though, which is good because probably more than half the web's users don't want their eyes bleeding when they open their browsers every day.
