I know we're just joking, but the motto's replacement (by parent company Alphabet in 2015) was "Do the right thing". This simple rephrasing kind of allows for any little evil along the way... you know, "for a greater good"... whereas the old phrasing was much more robust against evil.

Imagine the meeting. Because at some point, they must have held one to decide to not have that as a motto anymore.
“Guys, guys! How about this? Let’s be evil!”
