Uummmmm....I see an "L" there, it's not missing.
If you look at the image, after the "g" there is a space, there is a little green tractor on the field, and the trail it's leaving behind is the "L". It's much thinner than the other letters in the crop circle formations, but it's there.

Google Crop Circles Logo, Missing "L"
Sep 14, 2009 at 9:07pm ET by Barry Schwartz
Currently, most Google search properties that are currently in a time zone that is September 15th, such as Google UK, are sporting a special Google Doodle that links to a search result for crop circles. It seems likely this logo will appear in the US soon.
The logo shows a flying saucer above a series of crop circles that spell Google. Well, almost — the L has been abducted. That similar to the last Google flying saucer logo from ten days ago, where an O was taken.
If you look at today’s logo’s file name, it’s goog_e.gif — reflecting the missing L. The last logo was go_gle.gif – reflecting the missing O. So that’s O, then L — what are they going to spell?
[Note: See Reply No. 143 above (by Penthesilea) to see the recent Google flying saucer logo mentioned in the article.]

Used my computer to blow it up a bit.
Penthesilea:
Ta-da! Last part of the puzzle:
Birthday of H.G. Wells
They mystery is solved: the other google doodles were indeed a lead-up to Wells' birthday.
Chuck: both the missing o and the missing l were still to be seen in the previous logos, but in the url of the pics they were indeed missing.
Sason:
Here we go again....
Chuck's post is # 156, and mine is # 158. I can't see any post inbetween......
Can anyone explaing that?
Fran:
I did enjoy the lead-up to Wells' birthday. Google should surprise us again sometime.

Can you see any of Chrissi's (Penthesilea's) posts? It seems hers are the ones that you're not seeing (#143 and #157). Do you accidentally have her on ignore? Otherwise, I have no idea what could be causing this. Maybe Phillip can help if you PM him about what's happening.
