It is finally here, the Google logo that prominently tells the world of the company’s presence in Chelsea. Google’s 111 Eighth Avenue office installed a one-story-tall logo facing Chelsea Market on Sunday morning. Although Google opened the Chelsea office in 2008 and signed the contract to buy the building in 2010, its public profile is now official. The letters sit above the words that describe the building’s original use, as the Port of New York Authority Inland Terminal.
