Google logo : new Google Doodle celebrates ‘trick or treating’

Google Doodle

Halloween 2009 and Google has unveiled a new logo or “doodle” on its homepage to celebrate, as thousands of children around the world undertake annual “trick or treating”.
By clicking on the Google logo, users can view a series of Halloween 2009-themed images before being directed to a results page.

The logo initially appears grey with the letter “e” in the shape of a pumpkin. One click and the Halloween 2009 logo is transformed to show sweets making the shape of each letter. The pile of sweets gets bigger with a second click, while a third shows only the sweet wrappers remaing as if someone has eaten the horde.
It is the latest in a long line of events that have recently been celebrated by Google.

The 40th anniversaries of the Apollo 11 moon landing of 1969, and the 50th of James Watson and Francis Crick’s discovery of the shape of DNA, are among other events marked by the “Google Doodle”.

Michael Jackson, Albert Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo Galilei, Mahatma Gandhi and Confucius are all famous named to have recently marked by Google’s doodle designer Dennis Hwang.
