Photographic evidence! (Not mine: I was watching on NASA TV in the conference room at work, and eating too much cake.)
More links later, probably.

Official launch video.
I'm still somewhat bemused by the whole rubber-chicken aspect of the SDO public outreach effort. There's even a rubber-chicken's-eye view YouTube video of the meeting I was at in Stanford in September. (And yes, I wandered into shot a couple of times, and no, I'm not going to link to it.)
More seriously, some nice launch photos are available at Kennedy Space Center's media archive.. I suspect some of those are going to show up as wallpaper on no few solar scientists' computers for a while.
