Doodle 4 Google
Don’t you love how every once in awhile, google switches things up and uses a different design for their homepage logo?
Doesn’t it just make your day a little better, and put a smile on your face?
Okay.
Anyway.
Google has a contest called “Doodle 4 Google” where they invite K-12 kids to design a new homepage logo. You can go here to vote!
Here is my favorite from each category:
K-3:
4-6:
7-9:
10-12:
Sorry, I couldn’t come up with anything better for today.

Today’s Idiom: to lionize a person – to make a big fuss over someone
When I worked at Fuksas Studios in Rome, Fuksas was lionzed whenever he came in. I just tried to stay out of his way.

I have become addicted to switching up the “artist designed” themes on my Google homepage. And yes, when a picture comes up that I really like, it does put a bright spot in my day. 🙂
I think we like the same ones, although one of the doodles had a flying pig that was rather cute. I can’t believe there are so many young kids that are so talented and I can’t even draw a stick figure.
I like the different Google themes. My favorite so far was the Lego one they did.
The kids themes should be pretty creative.
That’s awesome – to encourage kids’ creativity! I’m going to have to check out the others … woot!
Fun! I will have to go check them out. 🙂

Jenn – I KNOW!!! Weren’t they all great? It was hard to pick my favorites 🙂
martymankins – I liked the lego one too! I thought the Scream one from 2206 was neat as well.
Nilsa S. – That is a great way to encourage them… and get them addicted to the net ata young age! Ha ha! Soon they will all be bloggers…
sizzle – It will be hard to choose your favs, I bet! 🙂
