16 of the Most Memorable Google Doodles

On Friday, 21 May 2010, on the 30th anniversary of the arcade game Pac-Man, Google unveiled worldwide their first interactive logo. Anyone who visited Google could play Pac-Man on the logo, which featured the letters of the word 'Google' on the Pac-Man maze. The logo also mimicked the sounds the original arcade game made. The "I'm Feeling Lucky" button was replaced with an "Insert Coin" button. Pressing this once enabled you to play the Pac-Man logo. Pressing it once more added a second player, Ms. Pac-Man, enabling 2 players to play at once, controlled using the W,A,S,D keys, instead of the arrows as used by Player 1. Pressing it for a third time performed an "I'm Feeling Lucky" search. It was then removed on Sunday, May 23, 2010, initially replacing Pac-Man with the normal logo. Later on that day, Google released a permanent Google Pac-Man site, due to the popular user demand for the playable logo. (Link)




Five blue dots, three red dots, three yellow dots, four blue, three green and two red: yes, it's Google spelled out in Braille. This was issued on 4 January 2006, in celebration of the 197th birthday of Louis Braille, who invented the embossed-point alphabet for blind and visually impaired people.




Google's August 29th logo celebrated Michael Jackson's birthday a couple of months after his death. The two Os in Google were replaced with two feet, en pointe, wearing patent leather shoes and shiny white socks below slightly-too-short trousers.




In 2009, Google marked the 40th anniversary of Sesame Street with a new 'doodle' featuring the programme's Cookie Monster. Users of Google in the UK, France and Canada were greeted with the hungry blue character's familiar 'googly eyes' in honour of the programme's four decades on air.








The UFOs in Google's logo were designed to mark the 143rd birthday of author HG Wells. Although Google regularly uses its doodles to mark significant events, anniversaries and notable dates, it usually does so explicitly. This was the first time Google has used a series of mysterious logos to build up to an event, although the search page today shows a new Google doodle to mark Wells' birthday which takes web users straight through to a list of web pages related to the author.




In 2010, Frida Kahlo's 103rd birthday was celebrated with a Google doodle.




Google's Doodle for world cup 2010 final with the 3 most important elements of that day: Spain, Netherlands and Octopus Paul.




This doodle that appeared online in Sept 2010 was meant to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Flintstones.




This logo was featured on December 12, 2006 (Edvard Munch's Birthday). Featuring "The Scream," this composition was created by Munch and is said by some to symbolize the human species overwhelmed by an attack of existential angst.




On Friday, October 8, 2010, to mark what would have been the day before the 70th birthday of John Lennon, a 32-second "Video doodle" appeared on the google homepage. The "E" of google was shaped like a play button. The video was a simple animation that was accompanied by Lennon's song "Imagine."




20th anniversary of the Wallace and Gromit Characters.




Google unveiled this logo to celebrate the 400th anniversary since Galileo Galilei, the Italian astronomer, showed Venetian merchants his new creation, a telescope.




Google's Doodle for Charles Darwin's 200th Birthday, in celebration of the discoveries and life of Charles Darwin, the scientist and naturalist who first described biological evolution via natural selection.




The 213th anniversary of the birth of Mary Shelley, the British author of Frankenstein, was marked by a very unusual Google doodle of a darkened room with ghostly portraits on the wall and a shadowy figure in a doorway.




On March 2010, the Pi Day, 3.14 was celebrated by math nerds and Google, worldwide. Having been conspicuously missing from Google's ever-growing repertoire of special-event doodles for years, Google finally relented and unleashed its inner nerd, not that it tried to hide it too hard in the past. And, perhaps to make up for all the years it skipped, Google went all out this time and showed off six common uses of the famous number. The Pi Day Google logo starts off with the formula everyone knows (?) for the area of a circle A = πr2, but goes on with some more advanced stuff. The two 'os' in Google are used to represent the sin(x) function over a 2π period.




On Thursday, April 1, 2010, Google jokingly changed their name (and logo) to "Topeka" for a day in response to the city of Topeka; Topeka, Kansas, had unofficially changed its name to Google for the previous month.

Happy b'day to the two ppl who had significantly influenced on my life very much and changed it to what it is today

Hot Pursuit Goes to Italy

High up on the swirling roads of the majestic Italian Alps, 10 miles from Cortina D’Ampezzo, in a mountain pass known as Passo di Falzarego, were possibly the only two vehicles on the planet able to rival the surrounding scenery in a beauty contest – the Pagani Zonda Cinque and a police Lamborghini Murcielago LP640.

So what were they doing there? Trying to create a real-life, full-motion video recreation of the Need for Speed Hot Pursuit box art. And why Italy? Three simple reasons: 1) It is close to some of our closest automotive partners (in fact, this region is known as the “capital of engines”, near the headquarters of Pagani, Lamborghini, Maserati and more); 2) the hair-raising mountain scenery has a striking resemblance to Hot Pursuit’s beautiful Seacrest County; and 3) great espresso!

With only five examples of the Pagani Zonda Cinque in existence, getting one of the owners to give up their car was an unlikely proposition, so an alternative was proposed. For the filming, the good folks at Pagani built a Zonda Cinque prototype out of their workhorse development Zonda – a process supervised entirely by Horacio Pagani himself, who was involved in the project from start to finish.

Creating the Zonda’s chiseled exterior was only half the challenge. Replicating its trademark banshee wail – one of the most unique and remarkable engine notes in the automotive world – was done meticulously and appears in the video as well as inHot Pursuit. In fact, a separate audio recording session was done with the Cinque.

The Murcielago, originally painted slate gray, was affixed with cop lights provided by a film studio in Vancouver and sent to Lamborghini’s official body shop in Modena, Italy to be wrapped in black-and-white Seacrest County PD livery.

With about two million dollars in sexy Italian supercars roaring around the Dolomites, we had a helicopter to film the chase, with a $500,000 Cineflex camera – frequently used by news, police, military, and high-end film crews – strapped to its nose. And since we had so much fun wrapping the Lambo in SCPD colors, we figured we’d give the chopper the same treatment.

Of course, no live-action representation of the breakneck, high-impact action racing of Hot Pursuit would be complete without professional stunt drivers – don’t try this stuff at home, folks – and we had two of the best. Behind the wheel of the Murcielago was Marc Hennerici, and piloting the Zonda was Marc Basseng. They are known as two world-class stunt drivers, and when they’re not defying death at high speeds for Need for Speed, they’re doing the same on a popular German TV show.

Now that we had the cars, equipment, and drivers, we needed someone to shoot the film. For this project, we got one of the few production houses on the planet with hands-on Zonda experience, Runimation Studios, and director Robert Eder, who shot theofficial ad for the Zonda R earlier this year. And having seen his work, we knew he was the perfect guy to capture a true Need for Speed project.

No effort was spared to make this unique shoot come together. We can’t wait for you to see the video once it’s finished. In the meantime, if you haven’t already, check out the Need for Speed Hot Pursuit demo to get a sense of what we were trying to capture on film.

Eye-Catching Long Exposure Photographs

Long exposure is really amazing photography technique to capture light and movement. When an image is taken including stationary and moving subjects (for example, a fixed street and moving cars or a camera within a car showing a fixed dash-board and moving scenery) using a slow shutter speed, interesting effects, such as light trails occur.
