Google’s latest ‘DVD screensaver’ easter egg is the perfect throwback to the 90s

People do strange things on the internet, from watching ‘endless’ loops of popular YouTube videos, or videos of people getting hypnotised, or watching other gamers stream their games that go on for hours. Google understands its users enjoy this sort of content, which explains its latest logo is a throwback to one of the nineties most popular time-wasters — watching a DVD player screensaver.

If you’ve used a DVD player over the past decade or so, chances are you’ve seen a “screensaver” that shows up whenever the player is inactive – usually the player’s logo floating around the screen, and waited (usually to no avail) for the logo to touch the corner of the screen.
