art is just a google away!!!!

  Good morning people of the world!!!!!!
anyone who knows me a little knows that my belief is that inspiration can be found everywhere, in everything, in the most strange places, in the most unexpected forms.....

the same belief I have about art also.... art is not only a painting or a sculpture, art can be a wall graffiti, a window in a shop, a magazine cover....

so on Monday when I was using Google, I noticed that due to St. Valentine's day the famous Google logo had been changed to this :

 then I realized that in several cases Google changes its logo, and I remembered that two weeks before I met this really amazing google logo:

which I didn't know what it was about but it was a motive to try to find out ..... it was for Jules Verne 183rd birthday!!!!!

several times it is like a game with my friends to guess what each logo stands for, sometimes like St. Valentines or Christmas it is of course obvious

but other times not so much....

for example although I am a Jane Austin' s fun I would never though that this logo was about the writer's 235th birthday on December 16th

in my opinion, one thing is for sure....that all these logos are a form of art!!!!

Google names all these special logos Doodles, and the first Doodle was created when the  Google founders aiming to show that they would attend the Burning Man festival in the Nevada, inserted in   the original  logo a stick figure drawing  behind the 2nd "o" in the word Google.

Today there is a special team in the Google offices that has created over 300 doodles for Google.com in the United States and over 700 have been designed internationally.

so I ll share with you some of my favorites but you can find the complete series of Doodles over the years here: http://www.google.com/logos/logos10-4.html
