    That's a rare situation. Reply and make sure it really is from Google. Google usually allows people to use their logos, infact there's a page already for such need.

    I read another post where Mystique was saying something that seems to be a true fact.

    Power and money are making Google going crazy since you are not profiting from a signature like that,
    but promoting them for free [​IMG]

    Really! It's free marketing for them and nothing else.

    Thats really very strange. I didnt think google cared about that! I imagine they get thousands of people hotlinking the homepage logo at a time :p.
