Google Graphics

The seasonal logo thread prompted me to post this:


Doodle 4 Google: http://www.google.co.uk/events/doodle4google.html

Lisa Wainaina, aged 11, triumphed with her drawing called "The Day of the Child." As a reward, she received an upper case "G" of frosted glass, and her school won an interactive whiteboard.

The "Doodle 4 Google" school challenge was open to pupils at 25 London schools. It was judged by Dennis Hwang, the 26-year-old creator of the popular Google doodles that appear on Google's home page to mark special occasions.

"I thought I had a pretty secure job, but these kids are competition I wasn't aware of," Hwang joked. "My job security just went out the window."

Google held the competition to mark the launch of a new London office, which like Google's Silicon Valley office is called the Googleplex, on two floors of Belgrave House near Victoria Station.

Good find, Butterflykisses! I like those google holiday logos, maybe we can eventually get all these holidays done for our site too.

Did I miss a link or something in these stories? I didn't see a pic anywhere of the prize-winning work.

To an old goat like me it's scary just how good those designs are by kids as young as five.... there is a lot of talent out there, its just a shame our education system crushes it all out of them in the name of SAT's and league tables.:mad:

Hey thanks... ;)

I sometimes google other logos to become inspiried when I have designers block. I thought the Google logos were quite interesting. I also like the "seasons greetings" logo since it doesn't commit to any one faith.

Hey, thanks cyber. :)

I would have given the prize to the runner-up Tori Savage, one year younger. It's more pleasing to me, shows lots of taste.

Its things like this that make Google a popular comapny. Getting involved with the community (which is kinda hard to do with a company indexing over 8 billion webpages and so many users).

On my list of comapnys I'd love to work for: Google.
