subliminal Google Branding on Buzz

It´s always the little Details. As you can see in the Screenshot i took from my Buzz stream there is a pretty big Play Button on the Video. Thing is: It is a Vimeo Video, not a Youtube Video. Yet the Play Button is clearly the Youtube Play Button. It might not be much, but it is subliminal Branding.

What do you think? Tell me in the Comments

    btw. you might say "Wait, Facebook does the same thing" - true, but in Facebook you post a link. Buzz is more like a live-blog-twitter-thing so there is no real need to link it like that. If Buzz is used via various apps that might change it, but than again the apps could and should use their own design. In Buzz itself, as seen on gmail, there is no real need to either brand it or keep it a thumbnail.
