A moment ago I found out that the Google logo image of the results page contains a lot of icons (you can see this simply by dragging or inspecting the logo).
I don't think this is a bug so, what's its purpose?
Is it an optimization technique? If so, how it works?
It's called a CSS sprite. It is a performance technique as requesting many small images is costly as it requires a lot of HTTP requests. This only requires one.
Here is a short guide on how to make and use them.
In short: CSS Sprites are a means of combining multiple images into a single image file for use on a website, to help with performance.
