What’s With GMail’s Sign-Up Button?

Since July, the Sign-Up button on the GMail login page has been changing. The frequency of the changes hasn’t been constant, and there have been a large variety of different styles.

Since July 28, 2007, I have been taking screenshots of the different buttons, and I’m publishing the screen grabs here. It’s kind of fun, seeing a different button every day, but the question is “why?” Why is this happening? Are there some bored employees at Google?

Here are the buttons:

This odd occurrence is still happening, and I’m still taking screenshots of the new ones.

    Yes, I have noticed this also. Good post, I was looking on Google if anyone else noticed. :) Strangely, on my laptop, I only see the “Sign up for Gmail” text. Yet I do see the dynamically-changing buttons on the desktop. Any idea why it doesn’t change on my laptop?
