Google Braille logo

All day yesterday, Google's logo was transformed into a Braille representation of the letters comprising the company's name, in honour of the birthday of the creator of the Braille lettering system for the visually impaired, Louis Braille.

A flat, graphical representation of Braille letters (which are supposed to be embossed on a tactile surface, so they can be touched by human fingers and "read") on a website.

Is it just me, or does this seem to miss the point?
