We’ve reached a point, in the homogenized West, where good graphic design is everywhere. The battle has been won: every business knows it needs good design —you don’t have to tell them anymore. It’s enshrined in the business schools, established in the corporate HQs. Even small businesses understand that good design is good for business. It’s a universal truth, like "customer service" and "value for money," and all the other boardroom nostrums that drive modern commerce.

Not sure I'd agree it was quite as clear-cut as DO is trying to make out there...

Agree with that, googles ameuterish design look anf feel does make it stand out from the increasingly bland sea of corporate design and so in many respects is actually very well designed
