    I got curious and actually opened the logo file in a hex editor. It's... RGBA 8888. There's also a backup image it shows that's a GIF, though, and those have to be indexed 256 color with one index for transparent, so... why not store the PNG atlas in the same way?

      @redenchilada Pretty sure the backup is because it's an animated doodle.

        @bobo "doodle" being the term for Google's celebratory logos

        @bobo Yeah, having a GIF makes sense, and I can see having a JS-animated PNG be the primary method if they actually stored it in a way that wasn't redundant but... if you're converting an indexed image to a format that supports indexed images, why waste space making the resulting file truecolor?
