Gmail changed their logo and name for my account to Google Mail, it's ugly and I got so used to "Gmail".

I would hate it if this situation continues...

I don't live in Germany,

Can anyone confirm this??

I am so desperate :-(

Where do you come from ?

Neither that I live in the UK.

France, It's soo weird to see the usual gmail with the ugly Google Mail logo...

Language setting has never changed and is set to English (US).

my logo is still Gmail Talk Beta..
can you post a picture please?!

bennis.googlepages.com/googlem ...

look what ive found:
mail.google.com/mail/help/intl ...

check out the logo on top of the page

Ohh I know this,

To my knowledge this applies only to the UK and Germany, Phillipp for instance.

Just today I invited Phillipp in Gmail, he seems like he accepted me, could it be for this reason that my logo changed??

I am worried as much for the logo as for the name.

i dont think that inviting Philipp is the reason.
where do you live?!

France

by the way...
Philipp hasnt authorized your request :

I donnu either, all I know is that I have had my gmail since mai 2004 as "Gmail" and that I have used it in many countries in the past without any changes ever...until 90 mins ago.

lol..
try to contact Google, or Gmail.

or Google Groups
groups.google.com/group/Gmail- ...

<< try to contact Google, or Gmail >>

...yeah right!

I will post in Google Groups,

All I want is to wake up tomorrow and find that Gmail has been re-established.

If anyone is having the same problem, please share your experience.

Thanks David.

Just to let you know that I did not approve/ see any invites so far...

iZeitgeist > I'm from France too, and I always have the "Gmail" logo.

Do a right click on the logo and say to us the URL of this logo ;-)

mail.google.com/mail/help/imag ...

mail.google.com/mail/help/imag ...

yes, but it doesn't explain why I am having such a situation

All is states is that Gmail changed their name in Germay and in the UK

Have you tried to clear cache and or reconnect to the net? Another thing you could possibly try is to connect to the net via a proxy and see if this makes a difference.

btw...what ISP do you use? since UK and France have a common ISP (Wanadoo) it may be possible that the server you are connected to is located in UK.

OMG, but this is a really serious situations. We really need to investigate this incident. Gmail users should be happy and enjoy their life. Little things shouldn't worry them.

OMG, Utils you're right, I reconnected to the net, and guess what:

bennis.googlepages.com/gmailba ...

lol..
im glad it turned out well :)

hmmmm....how do I sign up for Gmail or Google Mail or whatever..lol, it only says sign up with your cellphone.....??

Anyone else thing the Google Mail logo looks awful? I live in the UK, so have to put up with it. I think it looks really cluttered. They shouldn't have mail in the coloured letters. Sorry, I'm being picky.

Jay: Send someone an email. Anyone on this forum will gladly send you an invite (myself inclued – but I am Google Mail).

I agree with regard to the Google Mail logo looks absolutely rubbish. It even comes up for my Gmail for Domains when it should be the logo that I have chosen!

Something like this would be much better.... N00/148416244/">flickr.com/photos/69064343N00 ...

Have you emailed them about your Gmail for Domains problem Sam? Seems quite a basic misktake for them to make.

(I've only got Google Mail invites too Jay, sorry. No Gmail for the UK :( )

Sam, I got plenty of gmail invites. How many do you want??

I want some Kriby Witmer... Just send me the links at lbagreyhoundz[at]yahoo.com

Sam Davyson/dpneal: AFAIK Google Mail invites are the same as a Gmail invites. Which domain is used depends entirely on where the recipient is based – i.e. UK / Germany users will get googlemail.com rather than gmail.com addresses.

Ah that is cool Tony. You can also use proxies to avoid a Google Mail address from within the UK.

Who actually cares about gmail.com vs googlemail.com. If you have a megooglemail.com address you can receive messages sent to megmail.com. So

I see... i didn't realize that, Ionut. That's sweet.

I don't think that people should really be complaining about what Google decides to name their email service. It is a free service and you should be happy that they were nice enough to offer Gmail or Google Mail for free instead of charging $10 a month or whatever.

Acutally I feel I have all the rights to choose or defend the name of a service I am using. It is not because it is free that they can decide whatever they wanted, plus it is not really free since it is ad-supported.

Also, I think people (me included) would not mind paying $10 -or even more- for the best email service ever made to this date.

Thnx Sam, but I used my mom's cell phone to register already :)
